I miss those days. Sometimes at the start of a project, we would have 2 hour lunches cause there was nothing ready for us.
A change of scenery is nice too. But my lunch sucked and cost too much. Next time, thermos of hot water + ramen.
i ate at Fogo de Chao in beverly hills today. i have no clue what the salad/veggie bar costs but i definitely ate my share. asparagus, shitake mushrooms, roasted peppers, beets, broccoli, etc... i ate 2 giant plates of veggies. it was awesome. and then a 7.50 fruit cup for dessert. i hate papaya.
I'm going there for my birthday, rules. Though the salad bar looked top-notch, I didn't waste my time/belly room on it.
it is... but it is also about a monster 'sumptuous' salad/fresh cut veggie bar! there was also a lot of that going on as well. i stuck to iced tea though
wow. my company is so ghetto we do shit like: "okay, on the way back from such and such pickup you can grab lunch". And working in ghetto area essentially means my choices are fast food, semi-fast food and shady independent food chains. Like yesterday I went to check out this new indian place.....I went with a simple lamb curry and it tasted like it had been cured in salt for years though the naan was whole wheat and really good.....weirdness. so yah, im lucky if i get a 1/2 hr for lunch.
i get my lunch at crazy hours like 4pm and either a) starve and just walk around the city or b) buy mcdonalds and regret it 5mins later.
Dude . . . you are sounding so West Coast luvvy right now . . . go slap a Fresh Meat to lemme know you ain't been bodysnatched!
but the real question, do they wear those stupid pants out there too? There is one of these near my work, and I laugh at people in these pants daily. Especially when they try to rock some kind of sporty coat with them. hahah
I'm all for three hour lunches. Never did understand the three martini lunch. Was that supposed to help business people close deals? I don't wanna be sloshed at work. Problem with three hour lunches is ... who wants to come back after one?
Today at work we grilled some burgers, dogs, turkey and washed it all down with a nice minikeg of Heine. Not too damn bad at all.
