Looking for some new ideas for food to bring in or to get takeout. My office is near Delaware Park, so retaurant/takeout/delivery choices are almost unlimited, but 1. I’d like to find heathier alternatives 2. I’d like to stop spending $10+ a day on lunch Currently we usually get: Marcos Dagwoods Casa di Pizza Bob & Johns Chinese Mighty ETS Globe Market Romeo & Juliets Dolce Vita Wegmans All good, but either bad for you or expensive, or both. If I bring in lunch, its usually just some Lean Cuisine shit. ---

Dude, $10/day on lunch is insane. $10/day x 5/week x 4/month = $200/month. My CAR PAYMENT is less than that. :jawdrop: Make something healthy for dinner, then bring leftovers for a health and free lunch.
