| - i walk by this place every day to get a quarter pounder extra value meal. but today i was overcome with the spirit of yelp and fingered i would duck in real quick to grab some lunch.
the decor of the joint makes you feel all futuristic as everything that isn't pure white is brightly colored. this includes a nine by nine randomly colored lighting square mounted on the wall that i swear was sending me subliminal messages about eating like shit.
to the average can/box/bag/take-out diner like myself, the menu can be a little confusing. especially if you do not remember your daily intake pyramid from health class. a protein? yes, i think i want a protein. what's a protein? oh, chicken? yeah, i like chicken, cool.
much like any place that serves sandwiches, there was a chicken salad sandwich on the menu. that stuck out amongst the healthy buzz words like power, feul, and energy (approriate that it is located in the duke energy building).
the staff on the sandwich/wrap/salad assembly line was nice enough. not a whole lot of chit chat.
so, i had my chicken salad sandwich with romaine lettuce, (actually very succulent) tomato slices, walnuts, and cranberries on a whole grain oat roll with a bag of sun chips and washed it down with a steaz raspberry sparkling green tea (which seems to be a re-branded mystic cooler). the "combo" ran me $10.02. apparently healthy costs more.
i grabbed a menu to go and if i go on a few hikes, take in a yoga class, and take a class at CPCC on health-nutanese, i may decipher it to return for another decent lunch. assuming i still don't have nuts and whole grains stuck in my teeth from this visit.
