What's for lunch today

[lcarus]

What are you all eating today for lunch on this awful Monday?

I got 10 bucks left on my Applebee's gift card, but don't know what to get. Got a burger last time from there and it was ok but nothing special. Anyone recommend anything off their menu?

[Dayze]

a lean cuisine type meal.

nasty.

[Lono]

Salad with Ott's.

[bevischief]

v8 spicy.

[Predarat]

A boring ass salad on a dreary Monday. Though looking forward to the game tonight.

[Bugeater]

I stopped at Jason's Deli and bought a french dip.

[Pants]

Jason's Deli's Salmon-wich + steamed veggies... methinks.

[loochy]

I ate a bowl from Chipotle.

white rice, black beans, fajita vegetables, carnitas, chile and corn salsa, medium salsa, sour cream, cheese, lettuce, and smoked tabasco sauce.

[luv]

Salad consisting of baby spinach, shredded carrots, hard boiled egg crumbles, cucumber slices, and light ranch dressing. Also going to dip into the cucumbers and sweet onion that have been marinating in apple cider vinegar overnight. YUM!

I love the Gumbo at Jason's Deli. That stuff is epic.

[Kerberos]

Thinking seriously about dumping the diet for a day and going to Popeyes Chicken and getting me a spicy 3 piece with mashed taters with cajun gravy and a bisquit.

That is some good eat'n brah!

:)

[tooge]

salad with avacado, yellow peppers, carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower. and a yogurt.

Thanks for giving me a bad idea, though I will go with a two piece if I do that. Popeyes Spicy is some of the most awesome Chicken in the entire world, except for Chicken Annies and Chicken Marys.

[Slainte]

Grillled checken breast, green salad, green beans /mushrooms.

And a V8.

[DaKCMan AP]

Didn't land back in Tampa until 11p last night so no food for today = Subway.

[loochy]

bastard.

It was even better because it was free. My in-laws bought me a $50 Chipotle card for Christmas!

sack lunch the wife made ... roast beef sandwich, pb&j, chips and a couple of cookies (you can tell she packed kid's lunches for many years) :)

I might just scarf down the roast beef and go get a gyros at Santorinis in CDA.

Whew! Forgot to water down the vinegar on these cucumber & onions. Potent!

I don't know. What is it? I haven't had it in forever.

[arrowheadnation]

I have a question for those of you who are on diets. Do you drink diet soda? I'm curious as I've just started a diet and have read that even though diet soda has no calories/no fat, it is still a no-no for dieting. To this I say WTF Why?

And I'm going to have a turkey sandwich on wheat w/ light mayo and some carrot sticks (yum!)

[SLAG]

Not sure what the Cafeteria downstairs is cookin' up - Might go with a Buffalo Chicken Panini

[loochy]

I don't know. What is it? I haven't had it in forever.

Women just always seem to love vinegar and vinegary things. I find it rather disgusting.

It still causes an insulin response that leads to fat storage.

Some people also drink a LOT of diet soda (multiple cans a day). It is not an acceptable substitute for water. Water is required for efficient fat metabolism and it helps to curb appetite too.

Also, artificial sweeteners and their extreme sweetness cause a kind of desensitization to other sweet things, making you crave sweeter and sweeter things.

Additionally, diet soda just isn't a healthy thing. It's very acidic and the jury is still out on artificial sweeteners and long term effects.

[cdcox]

Whole wheat spaghetti with olive oil, garlic and sardines.

[ChiefFripp]

Mixed some sharp cheddar shredded cheese, chilli beans , sour cream and salsa in a bowl and microwaved it for 2 minutes. Wasn't bad but I'm still going grocery shopping tonight.

I quit getting the burritos in lieu of the bowls when I learned that the tortilla by itself has something like 300 calories. It doesn't add much to the flavor so for me its not worth the extra 300 calories.

I'm not on a diet, but I do eat healthy as part of my lifestyle. No, I do not consume diet soda or any type of soda. I only drink water, tea, and alcohol (socially).

It's a chain and it's close to my work ATM. I really like their wild salmon sandwich. While I agree that some of their stuff is nothing special, it's still not a bad place to grab lunch from time to time.

Good for you and your healthy ways-I am a fat glutton who needs to lose weight but I have been such a procrastinator! Plus I love the flavors of it all.

I've found it is best not to mention things like that.

You know what they say about it not being a good idea annoying the people that prepare your food ................

Just for clarification ... they are 2 separate sandwiches and consumed the same way. Both with distinctively different tastes.

[HemiEd]

Good on you guys, now if we can just get Frazod and milkman to follow.

It is a chain, good soup and sandwich place. Beats the shit out of Jimmy Johns.

I think Subway beats the shit out of JJs, but the deli must be pretty good. I will keep an eye open when traveling.

[KC-TBB]

Ate at a Krystal Burgers down here in Atlanta...kinda like a White Castle without the e-coli...at least I think...what a minute, somethings starting to rumble...I'll be right..................

Not-so-secret secret: fresh fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices have much more flavor than over-salted, fried, fatty foods. ;)

[loochy]

Seriously? In my opinion, subway beats NOTHING. The meat is terrible fake meat and the veggies are always prepackaged soggy crap. The bread is somewhat good and that is their only redeeming point. Subway's declining quality combined with their ever increasing prices have caused me to do a personal boycott of that restaurant.

Jason's Deli is pretty good and it's much more than a sandwich shop. They have a pretty big menu and they usually have a salad bar inside. Also, you get free ice cream after you eat there!

The tortillas at chipotle are not over salted, fried, or fatty. They are just large and somewhat dense.

I think Krystal is better the White Castle, I love the Krystal Khicks, those things are outstanding. They remind me of KFCs Chicken Littles in the 80s and early 90s.

I only get the tuna from Subway. Unfortunately, JJ's only has white bread, panera's sandwiches are too small, Quiznos is gross, and Firehouse's veggie isn't healthy at all.

Panera has some choice stuff. Their chicken salad with grapes and almonds is money.

Besides being bad for you, Firehouse sandwiches also taste like ass, IMO.

Jimmy John's can't be healthy for you, but that bread is so delicious...mmmm.

I need to try Jersey Mike's at some point as I hear they're tasty. Of course I heard the same thing about Firehouse. Bleh.

Yes where I live there are so many other options, Jasons Deli, Penn Station, Firehouse, Panera, small family owned places, Jersey Mikes (alot like Mr Goodcents). So I rarely make it to Subway, even with their current mission to make it as common around town as McDs. Though nothing beats Cinnamons Deli in Wichita.

Jersey Mike's reminds me a lot of Jimmy Johns. The bread is kind of that crusty on the outside/doughy on the inside type of bread.

That is not an endorsement of Subway, but a damming of Jimmy Johns. I fucking hate Jimmy Johns and almost get pissed just listening to their commercials.

I will keep an eye out for Jason's Deli, as mentioned. Around here in Chicagoland, even Subway has to be pretty good to survive.

I used to put up with subway because it was cheap, but now the normal prices for a six inch is like 5 bucks. F that.

[Micjones]

Wouldn't mind having a Burrito Bowl from Chipotle.

$3.50 for a 6" here. I get their black forest ham from time to time. It's the only thing that doesn't taste fake to me at that place.

Subway is great except for the carbs, chips if you get them, and soda if you get it. I like their flatbread. Trying to avoid as many carbs after lunchtime as I can.

[Alton deFlat]

Went to the soup / salad bar at the grocery store, and got some chicken & noodles. Pretty tasty.

I can down a Panera veggie (one of the best chain veggies available) or tuna. The problem is for it to be filling I have to get a full sandwich (which come with the healthier chips - only contains potato, sunflower oil, and sea salt) plus a bowl of soup. Ends up costing around $12-13 which is overpriced for that type of stuff, IMO.

[DaKCMan AP]

It's cheaper when they have their $5 promo, but a regular priced tuna footlong here is $6.25 after taxes.

Full sammich here in KC is like 8 or 9 dollars I think and I get an apple with it instead of chips. Apples are pretty much my favorite. I try to limit myself at 2 a day, but sometimes I'll eat more.

Right. Full sandwich is around $8-9, then adding a bowl of soup bumps it to around $12.

Can't really know without trying the Orlando ones. I know a lot of people like them here, I don't.

Firehouse meatball and NY Steamer are good, just not good for you.. so I avoid them. Their veggie sub contains greasy, overcooked veggies and massive amounts of cheese so it's not a healthy option.

Pita pit, on the other hand, has a tasty & healthy falafel/hummus option.. it's just not filling enough.

[DaKCMan AP]

Do you guys have Mr. Gyro's over there? It's amazing.

Don't think so but we have several gyro type places.

[gblowfish]

Guess I'll have anything BUT a McRib today!

[Titty Meat]

I live by Mr.Gyros how much is a meal there?

Don't think so but we have several gyro type places.

I went and looked it up and it's KC only. Couldn't delete my post on time. Greek, or Mediterranean food in general, is so good.

[Dayze]

I love Firehouse....granted, I've only ever tried the NY Steamer (NTTAWWT); pastrami and corned beef I think; provolone, and italian dressing and mayo I believe.


damn good. Not sure of the other sammiches though.

I hate snow.

My coworker had a sick kid today (I told her that was convenient...lol). I texted her to see if there was anything I could eat and replace in case I was unable to leave for lunch. It won't quit snowing, and I have rear wheel drive. Dad gets off of work at 3:30, and then he's bringing me a couple of bags of wood pellets (he has a couple of pellet stoves). They weight like 75 lbs each or something like that. So, I should be able to make it home.

Looks like it will stop before you go home. But Sunday they are forecasting for 50 in Springfield.

[tooge]

I generally make my own sammys. Cheaper and much better.
I use a whole wheat hoagie, and top it with turkey, baby swiss, fat free mayo sometimes, mustard, peppercini (sp) pepper slices, cucumber, tomato, spinach, onion, and green pepper slices.
This makes a killer sammy.

[luv]

Yeah, it's died down. I think I'm going to make the trek home, which is all of about 2 miles...lol. The only thing happening now is the wind gusts blowing all of the loose snow around. It's almost horizontal. I can see the parking lot now, though.

It is so dry and flat here up that the snow just blow all over the place still something stops it.
