Lunch

Lunch Deal — $9.99 For 2 at Quiznos

I feel like I should preface this with the fact that Jared and I are terrible at choosing a lunch destination. So bad, in fact, there was another blog about that. So when a Quiznos coupon arrived in my inbox, the same day I managed to spill coffee on my wireless keyboard, it was sort of like the stars aligned and I was supposed to head over to the Llyod center and take advantage of this deal. (Quiznos and the Macstore are blocks apart.) Aside from the fact the oven was broken, they were out of iced tea, and I had to ask for them to put out more pickles,…

Slo (Down) Bar

I have really been slacking on this lunch blog thing, but what with my busy schedule, I just haven't had time to seek out new, awesome spots, and no one really wants to read about Panera Bread. But today I ventured to an old favorite, Slo Bar.

Figured what the hell? They even have "veggie wings." So I got a BBQ Chicken sandwich. It came with tater tots and was basically a chicken breast with lettuce, tomato and BBQ sauce on ciabatta bread. It was pretty good, but same price all day, so it was still $7.50. A bit much for lunch. Poor Jared ordered the veggie wings, which are not wings at all but veggie chicken …

It’s Just Lunch

So everyday around 11:45 I realize I am starving and that can only mean one thing, it's time for lunch. I try really hard not to get into a rut or going to the same few places everyday, since Portland is a veritable restaurant wonderland and I often finding myself googling where I should go. Sometimes I will type in "awesome lunch specials" or "best Portland lunch" and usually it recommends places on the other side of the bridge, which I really have to want to try to go to. Anyway, I end up at new places often, and it's always interesting to see the difference in the lunch menu.…
