NotWeasel: For Lunch!2012-02-05T23:41:37ZNotWeaselCopyright 2012, NotWeaselSPHPBLOGPumpernickel's in Simcoe Place They also have a location in the Simcoe Place food court, near the CBC building. A long time ago, perhaps a few years now, I tried the same sandwich there and was very disappointed.
It seemed to have half the serving of meat on it and just left me feeling sad.
Today, at the urging of a friend, I tried it again.
It was great! It was every bit as good as the one from First Canadian Place. I don't know if the last one was a fluke or if they've stepped up their game, but I have a feeling this isn't going to help my ongoing effort to eat healthier at lunch.

Today I tried the halibut burrito at Burrito Boyz but without any hot sauce. I just thought I'd see how the fish taste came through without the hot sause to zest it up.
I think it's better with the hot sauce. A burrito really should have a bit of kick to it.]]>http://www.notweasel.com/LunchBlog/index.php?entry=entry070319-1550132007-03-19T00:00:00Z2007-03-19T00:00:00ZBurrito Boyz FTW!! Today was a good day for steak.
I liked today.
I REALLY liked today. ]]>http://www.notweasel.com/LunchBlog/index.php?entry=entry070315-1818072007-03-15T00:00:00Z2007-03-15T00:00:00ZIt's a Good Week. You should go there and try it.
Today, at the TD Center food court, I had the Pad Thai from Thai Island. Again, it was wonderful and you should try it.
Yes folks, this is what this blog is here for. I try all the crap, so you don't have to!
Now I can't wait for tomorrow! Wherever I end up, I know it's going to be good! ]]>http://www.notweasel.com/LunchBlog/index.php?entry=entry070314-1308392007-03-14T00:00:00Z2007-03-14T00:00:00ZMega Wraps: Chicken Caesar There's just nothing all that good in the CBC food court, so I settled for the classic chicken caesar wrap at Mega Wraps. It's always tasty, and was again.
I very nearly got a Big Mac combo though. It's just THAT good a food court!]]>http://www.notweasel.com/LunchBlog/index.php?entry=entry070312-1719172007-03-12T00:00:00Z2007-03-12T00:00:00ZChicken Quesadilla I tried the chicken quesadilla and found it way more manageable than the last quesadilla I had back in December.
This one didn't completely come apart when I ate it, so I enjoyed it a lot more.
As I said last time though... there seems to be a lot less food than the burritos for not much less money. Beyond that... there really isn't much of a difference. All the same stuff in different packaging.
When you go to Burrito Boyz, get a burrito. ]]>http://www.notweasel.com/LunchBlog/index.php?entry=entry070309-1500292007-03-09T00:00:00Z2007-03-09T00:00:00ZKFC Lousy Value Box Hardly a value, there wasn't any salad or pie with it. Just two pieces of chicken (specified as leg and thigh), two chicken strips, fries and a drink.
Wasn't worth it. If you're getting one of these, get one with the salad and pie. That's when it becomes a good deal. So long as you don't accidentally toss out the pie...]]>http://www.notweasel.com/LunchBlog/index.php?entry=entry070308-1505482007-03-08T00:00:00Z2007-03-08T00:00:00ZThis Blog Sucks With that in mind, I'm declaring next week to be "eat the good stuff" week. Wherever I end up for lunch next week, I'm going to have whatever it is I've decided is my favourite thing there.
As always, you'll hear about it here. I'm interested to see whether my favourites are really still as good as I remember, or whether I just miss them so much that they've been elevated in my head. ]]>http://www.notweasel.com/LunchBlog/index.php?entry=entry070308-0752042007-03-08T00:00:00Z2007-03-08T00:00:00ZSaute's Chicken Parm with Alfredo It was ok, but the alfredo sauce was far too soupy and not nearly creamy enough for my taste. Next time I'll try it with the meat sauce. That seems to be the way to go with this one.
With lots of cheese on it as usual, the breaded chicken was most excellent. ]]>http://www.notweasel.com/LunchBlog/index.php?entry=entry070307-1434062007-03-07T00:00:00Z2007-03-07T00:00:00ZMore Chinese and Some Sort of Sandwich It wasn't as good as a 10 with noodles. I really miss the 10 with noodles. I think I might have to have it again just to ensure I haven't just built it up in my head in all this time.
Today I went to Pumpernickels to have the schnizel sandwich without cheese. I wanted to see whether the cheese really made any difference.
When I got there though, there was a sign advertising some sort of chicken sandwich special. It said something about cranberries, triple decker, and bacon so I got one.
Once I had it, I wished I'd got the schnizel. It just looked like a regular sandwich, and not nearly as big as I was expecting.
It was delicious though. There was grilled chicken, bacon, and all sorts of other stuff I can't even describe but that tasted really good.
Not really worth the money they wanted for it, but I was happy to have had it after the fact. ]]>http://www.notweasel.com/LunchBlog/index.php?entry=entry070306-1505282007-03-06T00:00:00Z2007-03-06T00:00:00Z
