last week in food #23

Posted on August 28, 2006

This time, it’s on time! This was the first week of a pilot program between my friends and I to have bring-your-own-lunch days during the week, so expect the repetitive Corner lunch reviews to subside.

Monday: Lunch at Lee’s Grill: I got the Teriyaki Chicken yet again. Are you tired of hearing about this one yet?

Tuesday: Dinner and Drinks at Wild Wings: I met up with a way too large group of friends for Wild Wings’ Tuesday Night specials. Buy one get one free wings and $3 pitchers of Pabst Blue Ribbon after 9 PM. I just mooched five wings off of a friend’s plate, and they were flavorful, but were pretty dry on the outside. My personal preference is a really saucy wing, so they weren’t perfect, but they were still pretty damn good. Buffalo Wild Wings still wins in the wing category for me, though.

Friday: Lunch at Jimmy John’s: I don’t know why I don’t eat at Jimmy John’s more often. The price is right, and the quality of the food is a step above Subway. I had the Vito, which is the only sandwich I’ve ever had there, and I don’t see that changing. It’s just too delicious.

Saturday: Dinner at Aqui Es Mexico (formerly known as El Tepeyac): I love this place, and I really should come here more. Since my last visit ten weeks ago, they’ve really spruced up the place. They have a new paint job, new name, and it’s definitely much livelier inside. The food is still as awesome as ever. I got Chicken Enchiladas Poblanos. Three chicken enchiladas stuffed with mole poblano sauce with rice and beans. It was heavenly. I managed to finish the entire dish of deliciousness, and was so full, I thought my stomach was going to rupture. I’m going to try to remember to go back soon.

Only four reviews? I guess our pilot program is a success! See you next week.

    No I could never get tired of hearing about Lee’s Grill or get tired of eating there. I sure hope business picks up for him.
