Friday Lunch . . .

So after Wednesday night's high, Friday lunch comes along to offer a wimpering start to the weekend.  Today's bad lunch brought to you by Hearsay downtown Houston.

Large crowd today including Chungry and Ducky Momo and 3 ladies in our department.  Should have gotten the burger.  I ordered the sweet corn crab chowder.  It should have just been sweet corn and crab bisque.  Not a chowder. No chunks.  There was real crab in it though so that's something.  A little too sweet, but not awful.  If I'd known how bad my sandwich would be I would have gotten a bowl of it.

Thought I would try the tuna melt b/c the menu said it was some cranberry tuna salad that sounded different and good.  What showed up though was just a giant-ass lump of tuna with mayo.  Bun was toasted with white cheese and then there was more mayo spread on the bun.  Mayo overkill.  Zero flavor to the sandwich.  Does that look like it has anything at all in it let alone cranberries?  No.  Exactly.  I only had a few bites and stopped.  The little side of fruit was really good and fresh though.  Go figure.  Thanks for nothing Hearsay.

Seriously?

I brought the leftovers back and put them in the fridge for the 24/7 people on the other side of the floor.  Someone is bound to eat it.

Update 4/29: As confirmation of what a lame and sad sandwich this was I went across to the other kitchen to check on the sandwich.  NO ONE ATE IT over the weekend.  And let me tell you, the people that work the weekend and over-night shifts here WILL EAT ANYTHING.  I have the stories to prove it.  Once someone took my half drunk tea with straw that I'd had at lunch. God love them but they are animals when it comes to respect for food in the fridge.  If none of them ate this sandwich then it is possibly the WORST thing in the world.

Ducky Momo had his funny hat on so at least the meal was entertaining!

Chungry did give me a slice of his burger to try and it was pretty good.  Very nice fresh bun which is half the battle if you ask me. Nothing ruins a sandwich like bad bread.

Hearsay gets a 2 and I'm not planning to go back unless it's unavoidable.

Congratulations Wimpy's . . .

You provided me with one of the worst meals I have had in quite a while.  That is saying a lot since I can eat about anything.

All I wanted was a hamburger.  Simple enough right?  Twist and Ducky Momo had both previously been to Wimpy's and I thought it had gotten a good endorsement from them.  Obviously if they hated it we would not have gone there.  And for the record, all three of us had terrible meals.  it wasn't just me.  DM also had a hamburger and fries.  Twist went with chicken tender basket.

Hamburger looked good at first glance but then after biting into it it had some kind of off underflavor and smell I couldn't put my finger on.  Not a spoiled smell.  Like a gamey smell or something.  And it looked weird.  It was a funky dark brown color as opposed to the kind of gray brown color real meat has when you grill it or fry in and cut it open.  My hypothesis is horse meat.  In any event Duck Momo and I only ate half of our burgers.  I did eat all my fries.  they were just regular frozen ones so I was cool with that.  Twist said his chicken was so overcooked he was concerned it was several days old.  He didn't finish his chicken either.  Needless to say that Wimpy's is off the list for good I think.

Big fat 0 microwaves and a highly NOT recommended.
