| - I am impressed, Max Brenner. You put my hipster, obscure tendencies to shame. With Restaurant Week drawing to an end, my brother and I decided to participate at least once before he left the city. When he suggested Max Brenner, all I remember thinking was "Really? How mainstream, David." Well, I was wrong.
For $20.11 (clever, by the way.), lunch was coma-inducing. I ordered the Southwest Caesar salad, the Most Orgasmic Tuna Sandwich Ever (not really named that, but should have been), and a Chocolate Pizza for dessert. For only a pretty Jackson, that was so much food. Jesus! My Caesar salad was basic - romaine, avocado, tomato, a Parmesan crisp and a chipotle dressing. It was quite a portion, enough to fill me up for the rest of the meal. Nothing too spectacular other than the fact that every bite was avocado-laden, rendering the dressing unnecessary.
The Tuna sandwich was seriously some good eats. Real tuna, lettuce, onion, and barbeque chips?!?! I must agree with my brother - whoever made that was probably high. But I loved every bite of it.
Lastly, I ordered the Chocolate Pizza with hazelnut bits and banana. It was good, but after watching the show "The Best Thing I Ever Ate: Pizza", it definitely didn't live up to the hype I expected.
Thank goodness for Restaurant Week. It definitely broke my hipster notions of mainstream chain restaurants. It also definitely broke my caloric intake for the week.
