It is on a lovely summer Friday afternoon that I find myself questioning if there is any way I can find to convince myself it is reasonable to take a half-hour drive from my office to get the best Shawarma available.  That would total an hour of driving if you count the return trip, all for the best quality pita and meat combo.  How far would you go for the best lunch?  How much time would you spend?  I think there is a correlation between the quality of the food and one's williness to go to significant effort to obtain it.  I recently had a discussion with a friend who is moving to Quebec about how I am seriously condiring a future road trip to visit him, but on as an excuse to go to this one place that serves the perfect poutine....

In regard to today's lunch quandry - the thought I am having is that I have two meetings in the area of the pita place on Tuesday and that I need to be grown up and wait til then.  Then again, I just ate a bag of Cheezies at my desk for "breakfast" so adult decision making doesn't seem to be an issue for me today.

I would totally go a half-hour each way for a sufficiently good sandwich. In fact, I have already done this. If I am working in the city, and I don't have much on the agenda, I will schlep up to the good-ass Philly-style hoagie place.  Because it is awesome.

Well, I opted for the "work through lunch so I can leave an hour early" route instead.  No sandwich today at all.  It has been a super productive day though - and I'm off in 45mins.  W00t.

I've been seriously considering driving 10 hours (RT) to get my boyhood sandwich so, you know, I believe in the power of a good ass sandwich.

Of course it's home of the Muffy.  Of course it is.  Because it is clearly a perfect place.  Therefore: home of the Muffy.  I hate olives though, so... I would just order something else, which is sort of a sin at such a place, but on the list of things I hope never to eat, olives are pretty close to human flesh on the scale of bleh for me.

Also, it's interesting to see a big bag of pre-packaged potato chips served at a restaurant.  That's something I've never seem in my neck of the woods.  It's fries all the way typically.

Yeah, having chewed on my own fingers enough times, I know that human flesh is more palatable than olives to me, the only thing that places it higher on the threshold is the ethical issues really.  When it comes to olives - appearance, texture, flavour and odour all disgust me.  I don't know that there are any other foods that hit the wrong notes for me on all four categories.

I guess we're gonna have to agree to disagree on this one.  You're wrong.

Are all you haters talking mostly black olives? I don't hate black olives but generally won't eat them plain.

But there are better olives out there! Don't give up!

Plus, what food is better to stick on all ten fingers and then slorp them off one at a time? Try that with a dang corn kernel I dares you.

bugles?

(i'm a fan of the olive, so long as they aren't from a jar - or worse, a can)
