and bill had:

a veggie scramble
comments: click bill's lunch to see a doorway I snapped photos of while walking back from london drugs after I got almost 10% back off the price of my new camera. yay for post-purchase price matching!

bonus weekend post

burger, fries n shake
from: lucy's eastside diner
price: $10
rating: &&&&/&&&&&
comments: usually, I won't post lunches from weekends. but this place, I've been wanting to try since it recently opened. this little diner is on main street between 11th and 12th. and here's the best part... it's open 24 hours. nice. it's a pretty tiny place, but they managed to have lots of seats. mostly at the bar, or facing the wall, but they did well. it's also got a great 1950s diner feel to it. from the arborite and chrome tables, to the tiled floor.

and erin had:

the pulled pork sandwich
comments: she liked this sandwich. not as good as Re-Ups, she said, but still very good. we also both really liked the peanut butter and chocolate shake. yum. or yeah, this lunch was actually dinner. ha!

and bill had:

a lentil burger
comments: there's a special deal at splitz from mon-thurs, where you can get a burger or lentil burger for $5. I gotta try to get back there earlier in the week, next time. meanwhile, the city was going rainbow crazy. jenna emailed me a couple photos of the double rainbow. I have to shift it over to make a wiggly, thus it's only a single. but you can click bill's lunch to see it. looks like it was shot from in her office. but I wish I was at andy's office with my camera, check out his rainbow action
