Lunch bargains
I got this e-mail from Andy. I love the idea, but because I usually don't review lunch places, I'm not enough of an expert to come up with the best ten. I'm hoping readers will suggest some more:
What about a top ten lunch bargains?
I just had a wonderful lunch and it prompted that idea. I was in Whole Foods in Harbor East and they have a special at the seafood counter. For $7.99 you get a piece of steamed fish, veggies and rice with terriyaki sauce on the side. Sounds healthy but boring. Let me tell you, it was wonderful. I'd easily pay triple in a restaurant what I paid for this same meal. They take the fish (either tilpia, catfish or a boneless steak fish) right out of the fresh fish case and steam it (so it takes about 10 mins) but tastes so fresh. Not sure how they seasoned it but it was delicious so I didn't even use the side sauce. They serve it with a medley of grilled veggies (with grill marks and char taste to boot!) consisting of squash, zucchini, yellow and red peppers, onions and broccoli and the boring rice was actually a wild rice/barley combo with different exotic mushrooms. What a bargain!

Wow... that's the first time I've ever heard Whole Foods and bargain in the same conversation. Sounds good though!

The Milton Inn has a wonderful moderately priced fixed lunch menu .. Though limited in scope it is not in taste. The upside is that it is quiet and service is attentive. Wish I could find that without paying an arm and a leg in the city.

Can't go wrong for cheap lunch eats at Amicci's in Little Italy.
How about a Top 10 Cups of Coffee? With the winner clearly being Zeke's at the Sunday Farmer's Market, of course.
