What do you do for lunch?

[luv]

On a typical workday (whatever hours that may be for you), what do you typically do for lunch? Eat at work, go out, go home.....?

I typically come home. I don't want to spend an hour at work (unless I'm completely swamped), I can't afford to eat out all the time, and I only live about 5 minutes from work. I do eat out on occasion, but I typically come home.

[DeezNutz]

Eat.

[luv]

Eat.

Ha ha. I had a friend who would always say "clothes" when I asked what I should wear somewhere.

[Fish]

Nooner with Secretary "B".

[DaFace]

It would take me over an hour to get home and back, so I eat downtown. Most of the time, I try and bring a lunch of some sort, but I probably eat out once or twice a week on average.

[DeezNutz]

Always good to get the obligatory pointless responses early in the thread...

[Buehler445]

I go home. I am too poor to eat out. Sometimes I bring it in and bail at 4. I should do that all the time, but I REALLY like the break.

[DaKCMan AP]

Generally 30min lunch brought from home - cheap & fast. On Fridays I usually play restaurant roulette with my friends.

[RockChalk]

Nooner with Secretary "B".

What he said, except the girl I see over lunch isn't my secretary. She's the receptionist for another office in my building.

[Stewie]

On average the company buys my lunch a couple of times a week (customer visits, working lunches). Otherwise, it's a local restaurant.

[Frazod]

I typically just run out and grab something, although I occasionally bring leftovers. There's certainly no shortage of restaurants in downtown Chicago. Normally I'll the food back to the office and eat lunch with my friends.

[ChiefsFan4Life]

I usually eat something from the cafeteria at work

[RJ]

I go home for lunch on most days, it's nice living close to work. On days I know I won't have time to leave I bring leftovers or a sandwich. There's a pizza and sub shop right next door but unfortunately their food is pretty bad.

I like living close to work, too. However, that's going to change in October. The company that bought us out is about a 20 drive from my place. I don't go to that side of town very often, so I'm not really sure what's close.

I had the chicken bacon ranch last week. It was good, but skimpy on the chicken.

[sedated]

I eat the same thing every day. What's that stuff? We used to eat it all the time back in the day. Oh, that's right...pussy.

which store?

[Iowanian]

I'm hit and miss.

I work out of the house, but am out and about quite a bit. Some days leftovers, some days sandwiches, some days a local restaraunt.

Today, 2pm, stop on the way back through for some Casey's chicken breast strips and a creme soda.

[alpha_omega]

Bringing lunch is the most economical way...not to mention that i can work and eat at the same time. I only eat lunch out a couple of times a month.

....shouldn't this be a poll luv?

[Nzoner]

I usually don't eat lunch unless I'm meeting with a client and then I take them out.

[Hydrae]

I eat a sandwich at my desk. Matter of fact, I am on my lunch break right now. :)

[seclark]

depends on what town i'm working in. usually a small town cafe, or a light bulb sammy from a station/store.

[Saulbadguy]

Bring it to work, sometimes I go out.

Ok now we know you are lying. j/k

I go to my parents pad that is about 5 min away to eat moms food....sometimes i go out with a few coworkers...45 min lunches blow

did alot of that when I was in door to door sales,damn good eating the better part of the time

[RJ]

I usually go out to the car and drink a half pint of Old Grandad I keep hidden under the seat. Before I go back in I chew some gum and spritz myself with Old Spice. Lately I'm finding myself needing to take a break again in the afternoon, my "lunch" seems to be wearing off faster these days.

[seclark]

yep, but not as many around as there used to be. there were times i'd have to wait till i was done working on the towers before eating at some of those places. it's bad to get 100' off the ground and belch potatoes and gravy bubbles out your nose.

[underEJ]

We have breakfast and lunch served everyday in the commissary. The selection can get a little boring, like "what sauce is on the chicken today?", but there is always a salad bar and a sandwich bar and a grill for burgers and such if the hot meal isn't to your liking. Pretty nice perk when costs of food have gone up so much.

today was barbeque brisket, mashed potatoes, and grilled vegetables

[Mr. Flopnuts]

I pack my lunch. I've always had an hour lunch but it thankfully is only 1/2 hour at my new job. I much prefer getting off earlier and keeping my lunch break to only enough time to eat and smoke. I used too eat out all the time, and this place I'm at has plenty of options around. Since I've started being more health conscious with my eating I've discovered how much I like my money, and don't plan on eating out very often in the future. Quite a change from the old norm.

[Frazod]

Ok now we know you are lying. j/k

I'm the dirty old man of the lunch crew. :)

[RibKing67]

I work out in the field so I generally eat out with my boss or a few co-workers who may be in the area.

[Beerfund]

Very interesting thread

[tooge]

I bring it to work. Eat, then go hit golf balls or something for half hour.

[Iowanian]

I do what everyone else does for lunch.

What do I do for lunch? Redrum's mom. Usually ATM.

[Micjones]

Had a P'zone today.

[StcChief]

bring/cafe....depends.

Special occasion lunch out. Better when Consulting co buys.

[ChiefsFan4Life]

today was barbeque brisket

*waits for Phobia to enter thread and talk about how great he is at BBQ and how he's sure his is better than their BBQ by a longshot but he's not sure why he hasn't won any major awards for it yet*

[KCKID58]

Go to the girlfriends house for a nooner.......

[The Franchise]

I bring my lunch to work and eat while I'm doing my homework on my lunch break.

[RickObie]

In and Out burger - double double with cheese and grilled onions!

[MOhillbilly]

sky rockets in flight..........

[El Jefe]

Are those any good. For the subject, I usually brown bag it, not my preference, but it's that or buy my own lunch. Saves me some money so that's a plus.

[chasedude]

alot of times I never know where I'll be for lunch, near my home office or one of the other satellite offices so I eat out. BTW For anyone driving through Oskaloosa in KS stay away from the diner on the square, bad voodoo inside.

[Frazod]

sky rockets in flight..........

GAH!!! Now I've got this song stuck in my head :banghead:

[evolve27]

PB&J sandwich with fries(sometimes) from the cafeteria, and water.

[Gonzo]

I do eat out on occasion.....



GIGGITY!!!! ROFL

which store?

W Republic Rd

[Bugeater]

It really varies with me, it depends on where I'm working. If I'm close enough I'll go home, sometimes I'll grab fast food, if I'm working somewhere that has a microwave accessible I'll bring leftovers. Or if I'm working on a house on a farm in the middle of nowhere in Iowa with a gutted kitchen like I was last month, I'll bring my grill with me and cook burgers or brats for lunch.

[Skip Towne]

sec

So you like to get high? What kind of towers do you work on?

[KCChiefsMan]

I eat just a granola bar everyday on my lunch break and I drive around and smoke cigs since my workplace doesn't allow smoking anywhere on their property and I just can't quit.

I usually just bring a bunch of junk food and snack through out the day, I never really take a lunch and eat. For example, I brough some fig newtons, a banana, 2 pks of cheese snacks and a mountain dew, I will just much around till time to go home in the morning and then take a shower and go to bed. I rarely eat a regular meal. Been a bad habit most of my life, not eating right. Oh well:)

No unfortunately, I inherited some funky genes that makes it very hard to gain weight, some people say thats a problem they wish they had, but if I went a day or two without eating I would lose like 3 pounds and I could eat solid for 3 days and maybe gain a pound. I don't really like that, I would like to get up to 130, but can't seem to get over 124.:deevee:

Did you catch where she said she never eats a regular meal? If it's any consolation she'll probably die sooner than you.

[shaneo69]

I usually get on the internet at noon, then after I log out at 1:00, I'll eat my Nature Valley peanut granola bar and crack open a cherry coke zero for my "lunch".

About once a week, if I've read everything on the internet during a slow morning, I'll head out to Jimmy John's / Chipotle / Panera during my lunch hour.

[Al Bundy]

First I get a bj from one of the married women I work with in my car, second I drive to mcDonalds and third I make them pay for it.

actually I just had my wellness tests done for the hospital I work at and my BMI is 19 all my cholestrol is great, blood pressure great, and I joined the gym where I work out 3 days a week. Sorry, but I am in great health, what about you?:rolleyes:

I eat a lot of dairy foods, hardly any meat, very little bread, and I eat out maybe 3 times a year.
Not a really bad diet, just a picky one.

[Herzig]

The wife usually packs a salad, some fruit, and maybe a cookie if I'm lucky. Then again...I'm lucky that my wife packs my lunch!

[Smed1065]

Usually take something but leave the building. Nice park across the street. Fridays are the group lunch with co-workers. We vote on where to go on Fridays.

I'm an overweight smoker and I frequently drink heavily. I could literally drop dead at any minute.

Eat lunch with the other attorneys and judges that I've fought all morning in court with.

My preferences, in order are:

1. Go to a Chinese resturant that is about a 10 minute walk from my office and order five flavor chick or curry chicken. I do this about twice a month. Great food, I enjoy the walk and it gets me out of the office.

2. Bring some leftovers from home. Heat it in the microwave and eat at my desk. I haven't been cooking as much lately so I've only had this option available about once a week.

3. We have this sandwhich shop on campus that is run by a guy named Ray who is blind. He has about the most optimistic outlook on life of anyone I've ever met. I enjoy making a little small talk with him. On Tuesdays and Fridays he has BBQ from Sam's Club. Not real BBQ, but it tastes pretty good, considering. I eat it at my desk. I probably do this about twice every 3 weeks.

4. Go to Ray's for a turkey sandwich and a yogurt or piece of fruit. This is not an enjoyable lunch, but is easy and low in fat. Recently I've done this most often, probaly on average 2 to 3 times a week. Again I eat this at my desk.

5. Bring a sandwich from home. Dullsville, plus I have to make it. Only do it on average once every couple of weeks.
