| - This week I stopped into the Courier Cafe for the first time. We were grabbing a late lunch, which was probably a mistake. I ignored my intuition that this place is probably only suited for breakfasts.
There were limited items on the menu that were healthy. I ordered the soup and sandwich combo. I had black bean soup, which was pretty tasteless, and the chicken salad sandwich, which was unremarkable and doused in too much mayo.
The worst part is my dining companion got the special, a chicken fajita bowl. Now, let's grant that you probably shouldn't expect excellent Tex Mex in a joint with antiques and an Americana vibe. But, he took the plunge. He sincerely regrets this, as he was rendered useless after eating the bland "fajita bowl", which was more like chicken salad with jarred salsa in a taco bowl. By useless, I mean he must have gotten an extreme case of food poisoning because he spent the entire remainder of the day making multiple trips to the men's room.
After an experience with the food here that left us sick, I wouldn't come back. There are much better places to grab a bite in downtown Urbana.
