Lunch Tale

I mentioned to Herman over the weekend that I've never blog about our lunch group and I thought it'd make an interesting post. So here it is:

On most work days, two of my co-workers and I would go out for lunch. Despite the fact that there are quite some number of restaurants around my office, we always end up in a few of them only. Mainly this is due to the fact that:

1. Me eliminating all Mexicans and sub-shops. Those who know me from college shouldn't be surprise about my disliking of Mexicans. My genes and Mexican food simply refuse to get along on any average day. I did have Mexican for lunch for a few times since I moved to Madison. This is probably because I now have a quota system in place - once every month or two months would be okay. (This year's quota have been used up thanks to the triple Mexican lunchs/dinner I had in August).

I don't like sub as well - so no Subways or Milio's either. The only exception being PotBelly, which kinda surprise myself as well. I think one of the main reasons why I don't like them is that I simply can't stand Mayo or mustard - the thought of these just makes me shivers. Period.

2. Phil doesn't like Asian that much (which is minor when compare to my hostility toward Mexicans). Though I think Herman and I are converting him a little at least toward Rice Cafe.

3. Herman doesn't have any cuisine in particular that he doesn't like - they simply have to be "budget" friendly.

So among the three of us, we pretty much eliminate 50 - 75% of the lunch places in town. It's sad~~~ :P
