lunch in the human habitrail

As a member of the downtown Minneapolis workforce, I regularly forage the human habitrails - or skyways - as they're more commonly known - to get food.

Lunch is my 2nd favorite part of the day (next to quittin' time). And there's a vast array of food options to choose from. In my immediate vicinity - meaning within two or three blocks - there's several asian joints, a decent pizza slice vendor, a Falafel King, sushi and of course your chain establishments: Au Bon Pain, Taco Bell, Taco Johns, Brueggers, etc.



Today? The veggie curry from Zen Box Eatery. A simple, no humble, bowl of white rice, and chunks of carrots covered in a rich, spicy curry. It's cheap - 4 bucks and change, it's tasty and it's filling. Once I slipped and ordered the Katsu curry, which includes a panko-encrusted, cheese-filled, deep-fried pork chop. Huh? Of course I had to eat the pork chop. However, it may as well have been panko-encrusted, cheese-filled, deep-fried shoe leather. Way overcooked.
