A Very Sad Lunch Affair . . . .

Oh my gosh you guys!  I just had the most pitiful lunch ever.  I'm almost embarrassed to write about it.  I was going to to get something on my own.  Waited too long and then by that point anything and everything sounded good.  You know when you aren't quite ready to eat nothing sounds good?  Then you wait too long and EVERYTHING sounds good? That was me.  First I wanted fried oysters, but there was nowhere close enough I was willing to walk too.  Then I wanted a Schlotzky's original, but I looked at the calories and decided it wasn't worth it.  So here is where it gets pathetic.

I ENDED UP EATING A BRISKET SANDWICH AND A BOX OF MINI CUPCAKES.

I am not lying.  I wish I were.


Too lazy to go out I just started down the tunnels and more or less gave up under the Chase Tower (i.e. like one block) and went into Otto's.  I had a desperate hope they might have a fried oyster basket, but they only have shrimp.  Don't ask what the deal was with the oysters. I don't know.  The brisket caught my eye.  Done.  Chopped brisket sandwich to go.  On the way back I conveniently got sucked into Gigi's cupcakes (damn you!) and walked out with a pack of 4 mini cupcakes.  Gave one to Ducky Momo and ate the other 3 myself.  Not a typo.  I ate THREE cupcakes.  Mini cupcakes, but still.  And I also ate the whole damn sandwich too.   I have to tell you.  It was pretty good.  I'm kinda surprised too.  Bun was fresh, brisket was not bad. I have certainly had worse.  Sauce was on the super tangy end of the spectrum but it wasn't fighting with any strong flavors on the meat.  A litle smoke in the meat and very lean.  Considering this is from an underground eating place that obviously has no pit I'd have it again for sure.  Don't tell Chungry.
