| - Grate & Barrel catered an office lunch for us. I loaded my plate with a half sandwich with pork and kimchi, a half with maple ham, and a cup of tomato soup.
The sandwiches were tasty, if a bit heavy and greasy. However, the soup... Well, I tried a few spoonfuls, and did not love the strong thyme/herbal flavour. That would not have been so bad, except my next spoonful had a chunk of plastic from a lid (the soup was served in coffee cups). Ok, mistakes happen, but the following spoonful lifted up a disc of cardboard. I looked around me and most of my co-workers were lifting a disc of cardboard out of their own soup.
The thought of returning turns my stomach.
Also, the name is stupid. I guess it works in the sense that it's unforgettable and gives people something to talk about, but I hate saying "Grate and Barrel" and hearing the predictable response of "Do you mean Crate and Barrel, like the furniture store?" Even Google suggests the furniture store.
