My Lunch List... Part 1

I eat out for Lunch a lot... to much. And yes I capatilized "Lunch" because I see it as an event, something to look forward to and plan. I also try to keep my lunch options below 10 bucks. So in an effort to provide me with something to do at work I will try to critique my lunch outings. Here are the past two days:

Thursday, February 19th - All Star Burgers (6 of 10)
Grease is good, and if your in the mood for a it then stop by. Had a mushroom swiss burger that fell apart due to the large amount of grease involved in its creation. Delicious! Onion rings are better than normal with the proper crispy/almost burnt ratio I enjoy. Remember! GREASY & SALTY are the main qualities of All Star Burgers. It was also very reasonable priced with a normal burger going for 2.50ish, fries 99cents. boyah!

Wednesday, February 18th - Tatanka Take Out (7.5 of 10)
Should get a higher rating. Had the salad (in an effor to curb my terrible eating habits, seeing my lunch for today didn't help). Which included: Feta, Kalamata olives (diced), Tomatoes, Romain lettuce, Ground Bison, piece of rye toast. Very good, very filling, very expensive (9.50!!!) Thus, if your into this kind of health food then knock yourself out. Otherwise skip the bison, skip the salad. Hit up Freighthouse square... More on this later

An Ode to Fried Chicken

Oh Chicken, Fried Chicken,
With you I am smitten.
Crunchy skin and juicy meat,
Constantly drives me to eat,

Only the purest and best I desire.
Alas Tacoma lacks this one good meal,
And I thus I constantly out the liars,
Who claim their chicken is a deal.

Emotionless bastards they do not know.
The pain and suffering, the aching hole.
In my heart due to their lies,
Chicken, Fried Chicken, you I both love and despise,

Chicken, Fried Chicken.
My addiction to you is not healthy,
But you make me warm, in my heart & belly.


Yes Fried Chicken is delicious and holds a place in my heart. Alas I cannot/have not found a place in Tacoma worthy of my addiction. Fred Meyer can satisfy the cruelest of cravings, next on the list is Popeyes, KFC (usually gross), Stadium Thriftway, Southern Kitchen, and the cream of the crop. Not in Tacoma or WA alas is the holy grail of fried chicken: Roscoes chicken and waffles.... mmmmmmmmm
