| - On a whim, I decided to try this place out yesterday. I ordered their Blue Plate Special of tomato, asparagus, and goat cheese quiche. I don't know why I ordered it, because I am usually not a fan of quiche. I had to hold myself back from inhaling the entire quiche in under a minute it was so good! It came with a simple mixed green salad with grape tomatoes and my choice of vinaigrette (I chose tomato over balsamic) which was all a simple salad could live up to for someone who just forces salad down. I loved the food so much that I went back after lunch and picked up their mini quiches and a chicken pie for dinner (they make 9 inch ones too). Sadly, I left them in the fridge at work, so I can't yet review them. Today, I went back for a regular menu item. I ordered the Loretta Lynn, a spicy pimento cheese sandwich with bacon and tomato served hot. It is very tasty. It comes with your choice of side (potato salad, pasta salad or chips) and a pickled okra spear-YUM! (pickled okra does not get its culinary dues). I chose pasta salad. Portion is definitely small, but it is also tasty; and who really needs a huge portion of pasta salad? The staff was awesome. Nice, patient and willing to answer my 50 questions. I wanted to know if the goat cheese was pasteurized (pregnant so it matters) and they when and got the label and read it to me so I could be comfortable. And when I went back today, they asked how my treats that I bought for dinner were! They do have a huge selection of cold sandwiches and small and large salads. They also have some 2-person meals that you can take and eat at home (my next taste test will be the black bean lasagna!) They also have daily soup specials (and cold soups you can take home for heating), and daily blue plate specials. They use recyclable packaging, compostable flatware and tree free napkins that will compost in 3 months! I am willing to pay a little more for my food in order to not contribute to the landfill. The prices are not bad for Uptown Charlotte. $7 for my quiche and salad and $7 for my sandwich and a side. I have paid that much and more at Jason's Deli, RiRa Sandwich Shop and Showmars and not gotten this quality with sustainable food and packaging. The salads may be more expensive, but I vowed not to eat salad (because I hate it) until after my baby is delivered - vegetables come in other forms that are much tastier! I suggest everyone give it a try at least twice to get a special and a regular menu item! You won't be disappointed!
