Gino's Pizzeria

Today was my first time eating from Gino's. I didn't really know what to expect since this place never looks busy, but I decided to let the food do the talking on this one. The eggplant parm sandwich was good, but was nothing out of the ordinary. The fries were done the right way and didn't disappoint. I'll probably eat here again.

My House

Waking up late today led to a real thrown together lunch. I opted for the last garlic bagel topped with some Tribe brand garlic hummus. My drink of choice: Silk Nog.

Pearly Bakers

I was on my own for lunch today because Gian and Seth's wackness in the lunch department continued. While the harvest burger was not as great as it usually is, it still made for a filling meal. I'm not going to lie, I didn't eat most of my fries, so Mr. Nick got a good amount of my leftovers.

Natures Way

I wasn't in much of a mood for anything today, so i stopped by Natures Way after a run to the post office and grabbed a Clif Bar. These always seem to fill me up when i want something quick. The carrot cake one is my favorite. On the real, XXX is the best flavor of Vitamin Water (because it is delicious AND because it shares a bond with The Straight Edge).

Mex Tex Trio

Today i went with the Chile Relleno from Mex Tex, which is something that i had when i was in Austin and kinda liked, but wanted to give a second chance. I opted for the spicier of the two salsa choices, and it really had a kick to it. Definitely good the second time around.

Sogo

Seth was all amped to get teriyaki chicken from sogo, so i went with an order of the sweet dried tofu roll. Nothing too crazy today, just a light lunch since i had a bit of a stomach ache. The San Pellegrino was a nice touch too.

New Wok N' Roll

We almost never get Chinese twice in one week, but after the other day we needed more. My only complaint this time around was that the tofu was cut into smaller pieces and there was less than last time.

Josie's New York Deli

I can't believe i slept on this place for so long. It was almost $3 for this sandwich and a bag of chips, and this sandwich was heavy. It felt like it had a 1/4 pound of cheese on it. Ridiculous.

New Wok N' Roll

I'm making a comeback here at My Lunch, and today's lunch was a great way to set that off. We decided on Chinese, and I took Giancarlo's lead and strayed from my usual tofu dish. We both got an order of vegetable lo mein with tofu. After finishing it, i decided that i have a new standby at New Wok. This lunch was legit.

My House

Every Easter my Mom cooks a big meal, and today was no exception. I had the mashed potato casserole, macaroni and cheese, mixed vegetables, asparagus and a garlic dinner roll. Everything was delicious, but the mashed potato casserole was the highlight for me. It was something I haven't had before, but it is definitely something I would eat again.

Mex Tex Trio

I won a free lunch from Mex Tex through a business card raffle, and today was the day we used it. I got the veggie burger with cheese and extra avocado and I split a side of chips and salsa with Giancarlo. The burger here is always good, and the addition of avocado really adds to the taste.

Sogo

We had an early lunch today, so we decided to go with something less filling, like sushi. I went with the tofu roll, and it was really good. I was on the fence about this, but i turned out to be a great light lunch.

Mama's Pizzeria

I went to Mama's today for the first time in months, and surprisingly i was not disappointed with my meal. I got a slice of the white pizza (that has the ricotta cheese on top) and an order of french fries. The slice was good, although it was a little skinny for my liking. The fries were alright, but they could have been cooked a little longer.

Mex Tex Trio

I was not feeling too well today, so i got a side of rice and beans to settle my stomach. It worked well, and i felt less like vomiting after i ate lunch. The chips and salsa are always a great too, and really compliment any meal you can get here.

Subway

What the fuck was I thinking?

New Harmony

Gian, lore and I all went to Philly to get dim sum at New Harmony (which is one of the best vegan Chinese restaurants I've ever eaten at) and i had to get something to take back with me, so i went with the general tso's chicken. It's hard to get good mock meats around here, so it's nice to be able to have something like this every once in awhile. Definitely one of the better lunches I've had lately.

Mex Tex Trio

This is one of the better veggie burgers I've had around here. It has a spicy cheese, a slice of avocado, lettuce and onion. All of those make for an interesting flavor, and the slightly toasted bun is a nice touch. Definitely something to check out if you're into this kinda thing.

New Wok N' Roll

This is the only thing i have ever ordered from New Wok, and from what I'm told it's the only good tofu dish they have. Gian always orders it extra crispy, which makes it that much better.

Cali Burrito

I had to make flyers for a show today, so i decided to grab food at Cali Burrito which was down the street. I got my usual Humboldt with crushed chips. For those not in the know, the Humboldt comes with smoked tofu, rice, beans, sour cream and salsa. Check this place out if you are in Allentown.

Mex Tex Trio

Today felt like a Mexican food day, so we went with Mex Tex Trio. I went with the vegetarian burrito and enchilada meal, and it was as good as it always is. It left me full for the rest of the day.

China King

For the sake of trying to mix things up, I decided to go with the broccoli in garlic sauce. It was alright, but i could have done without the water chestnuts.

Pearly Bakers

I feel like it's been months since I've had lunch at Pearly Bakers, and I wish i could come up with a good reason why I haven't, because their veggie burger is almost always on point. Aside from some of the fries being soggy from the pickle, it was a great lunch.

Antonio's Pizzeria

I was on my own for lunch today, so i just picked up a Sicilian slice and an order of fries. Both were perfect, which is something of a constant with Antonio's. Best place.

China King

Today was definitely an on day for China King. I got General Tso's tofu with an order of spring rolls. I ate everything that was on the plate, and there was still half a container leftover. Ridiculous.

Interstate Market

They just started offering veggie burgers here, and you would think that for a new menu item there is a possibility of it sucking, but that is not the case with this veggie burger. It reminds me of the veggie burger that mark's used to have before they switched to ones that blow. It had lettuce, onions, american cheese and spicy mayonnaise. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite new lunch spots.

My House

Friday I went to the health food store down the street from work to get Ray's Seitan, which is one of the best fake meats i've had. I cooked it in a stir fry with fresh green pepper, corn, carrots and green beans. Once it was cooked i added a sweet teriyaki sauce to it, which worked really well with all of the ingrediants. In the end, it turned out great and was a delicious lunch.

Antonio's Pizzeria

I'm sure i've said it before, but to reiterate, Antonio's is my favorite pizza place in Easton. Today i switched it up and went with a small salad. It was topped with black and green olives, pieces of provolone cheese and parmesan cheese. I had the house Italian dressing on it as well.

Forks Mediterranean Deli

Today felt like a falafel day for me, and there was no other option than to get lunch at Forks Mediterranean Deli. The food here is always great, and the people that work here are the best. If you haven't eaten here yet, i feel bad for you.

New Wok N' Roll

I feel like it's been almost a month since we've gotten Chinese food at work. While my stomach usually does not appreciate me eating it, I always come back for more. Today i went with the tofu and broccoli in a (slightly) spicy brown sauce. Some places don't know how to prepare tofu, but luckily for me, this place does.

Pino's Pizzeria

Another Monday, another pizza. Seth ordered before i got into work, so by the time i got there the pizza was on it's way. The plain side was mine, and i put some grated parmesan cheese on top of it which only made the pizza taste that much better. Today was definitely an on day for Pino's.

CiCi's Pizza

Tom, Cody and I decided to go to the all you can eat pizza buffet for lunch today, and i like to think that i took full advantage of that offer. This was plate number one of five (i think) which totaled to 10 slices all together. Here i have the mac and cheese pizza and the spinach white pizza, but i also had the plain and veggie pizza as well. After slice #10 i decided to call it a day, and skipped out on desert.

Back On Track!

So, for those of you wondering why i haven't eaten lunch in weeks, there is a reason behind this. I lost the USB cord for my camera, so i had no way of putting up pictures. I found it while cleaning yesterday though, so as of tomorrow it's back to business as usual.

My House

Before leaving for class I had two slices of pizza that Lore gave to me yesterday. He told me that it was the "pizza from hell" that will be on the menu at Uncle Giacomo's Pizza, and that title was no understatement. Aside from the jalapeno peppers on top of the pizza, he told me that there was a habanero pepper in the sauce, so there was no avoiding the heat. Being the fan of spicy foods that I am, I was way into it. Everything tasted great, and i am anticipating the next pizza creation that comes my way courtesy of Lore.

Interstate Market

I ate here once over the summer and thought it was pretty good, so I decided to try it again. I got an american cheese hoagie with lettuce, onions and a pickle. the sandwich was really good, and the bread was perfect. Not a bad way to spend a lunch, in my opinion.

Mex Tex Trio

I decided to switch it up today and get the mexican veggie burger that they have on the menu, and I'm glad that I did. Aside from the usual burger toppings of lettuce and onion it included avocado, which was a nice touch. The burger tasted great, as did the chips and salsa that Gian and I had on the side.

Antonio's Pizzeria

Antonio's is probably my favorite pizza place in Easton. It has everything I look for in a pizza place, good atmosphere, good people and good food. Today I got the eggplant parm sandwich, and it was just as good as it looked. Despite some doubts from my co-workers, I ate the whole thing.

Betty's

I was in a burrito mood today, so i went with a regular burrito at Betty's. Nothing too crazy here, just rice, refried beans and sour cream. It made me kinda full, so i can't complain.

Saladworks

So this Saladworks opened up down the road from my house about a month ago and i finally decided to check it out today. I didn't really know what to expect, but it always seemed busy so i figured it had to be good. I got the veggie wrap with lettuce, carrots, green peppers, broccoli, onions and italian dressing. It wasn't bad, but it also wasn't worth the $7 i paid for it. I also had some of the salsa that Rachel had sent to me with those pico de gallo chips, which was incredibly good.

China King

I was looking to break up the monotony and get something different today, so i went with the szechuan bean curd from China King. It also came with carrots, onions, water chestnuts (gross) and green peppers. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't as good as the general tso's sauce. The vegetables also outnumbered the bean curd, so that was kind of a bummer too.

Pearly Bakers

Like most Saturday lunches, the decision goes to majority rule and today it went to Pearly Bakers. The best part of today's lunch was that my boss paid for it because Gian, Seth and I spent the morning completely cleaning the shop. I went with my usual veggie burger with American cheese. I put about 10 more french fries on after i took this picture, and used the two ketchup packets i had on it as well.

Mex Tex Trio

Today was the start of what would be a few day long sickness (which is why i'm posting this a few days late) and the introduction of a sore throat prompted me to go for soup. With a strong recommendation from the owner, i decided to get the fava bean and cactus soup. I really didn't know what to expect when i started it, but the more i ate it the more i got into it. This is the first time i've had cactus, and aside from the awkward first taste, i didn't hate it.

Sheetz

I needed to get gas today, so i figured i might as well grab a sandwich while i was there. I went with my usual cheese hoagie on a wheat roll. It had american, cheddar and jalapeno cheddar cheese, onions, pickles, jalapenos and lettuce. I got a bag of the harvest cheddar sun chips on the side. I really like cheese sandwiches.

Mark's

Today was another filler lunch, because i had lab at 4 and a ton of stuff to do before that. I decided to get a large order of waffle fries, just to tide me over until i get out of class at 6. Nothing too special, but it made me less hungry.

Pino's Pizzeria

Sinch Gian has off on monday's, lunch is up to Seth and I. Because of this, we have come to the decision that monday is now pizza day. I'm getting more accustomed to Pino's, as this is the third time i have had it, and it has improved each time. The side with the green peppers was mine, and i also had the side of crushed red pepper, which is pretty much my pizza standy.

Pearly Bakers

So friday is pretty much unofficially pearly bakers day, mostly because it's payday and food there is kind of pricey. Some days the veggie burgers are just on, and today was one of them. I'm a big fan of the chipotle mayonnaise that they put on it, because it only adds to the deliciousness of the burger.

China King

Today was pretty much a filler lunch, because i was supposed to get dinner not too long after, and i just wanted something small. I got an order of fried rice and two spring rolls, and had no idea that i was going to get so much rice. I ate about half the container before i felt kinda sick.

The Bagel Bar

I had the day off due to the snow, so i slept in until 12 and grabbed some lunch at the bagel bar. I was going to get lunch here yesterday and my credit card didn't work, but i had cash today so there was no holding back. I went with a pizza bagel with green peppers on a plain bagel. I love pizza and bagels, so the combination of the two just makes sense to me.

Betty's

So i skipped class today and decided to grab some lunch instead. Since my credit card didn't work at the bagel bar i ended up going to betty's. I went with the cheese quesadilla with rice and a side of sour cream. While it's not the pizza bagel i was hoping for, it was still not a bad way to spend a lunch.

Pino's Pizzeria

Seth decided that today was pizza day (something that i had no problems with), so we ordered a medium plain from Pino's. Now i know some people were up in arms about my previous statements regarding this certain pizza place, but since that pizza came from the Nazareth store and today's came from the Easton store, i went into this lunch with an open mind. The pizza was pretty good, and the french fries were not too bad, but could have been cooked a bit more. It didn't take long for me to start putting the french fries on the pizza.

SS and Jaz's Wedding

Today two of my good friends got married, and following the ceremony i indulged in the biggest lunch to be posted yet. The reception was set up as a potluck, so there was a ton of amazing food for vegans and non vegans alike. My first plate consisted of black beans and rice, pasta salad (which had pieces of eggplant, tomatoes, olives and feta cheese), a cheese sandwhich and barbeque seitan (which was exceptionally good).


Plate number two was just as good. The baked ziti that Justin made was as good as always, although it looked like he didn't put as much vegan cheese on it as he did in the past. I managed to grab a little more of the seitan (it was really that good!) and i tried a piece of the pierogie casserole that Joe Beers had made, which was hands down the best part of my lunch. There was a few other dishes that i wanted to try (like the homemade hummus) but by the time i finished plate two it was time for the cake and i had to leave some room for that.
