Lunch can be a Poetic Thing

Even if its from *gasp* a chain establishment. Today's lunch hour included a hike SE to the Koin 6 building for an exchange of awesome crafted thing for dirty green paper (what is that all about anyway?) The building happened to hold a Quiznos with signs advertising their Lobster and Seafood Salad sandwiches. Or salads, but lets get real here... Lobster salad vs Lobster ROLL. Who wins?

And it was a thing of beauty and poetry. Especially dipped in their creamy "punch to the sinuses" horseradish sauce. That quick bite cut through the sweet briny flavor of the LARGE lobster chunks just beautifully. It was so good I can't regret anything about it.

So not all chains are bad. Some are, this is by no means a resounding reccomendation for everything from a chain, but this experience was beautiful.

  2. It is a common "theory" among the culinary world that chain establishments are leading to the downfall of the nation. I didn't say I believed it, just that its a theory. And slapping together microwaved portions of meals is not a cooking talent. Restaurants where ingredients are lovingly prepared by people with pride and an urge to share their passions are some of the best places on the planet.
