Default lunch



The chili corn bisque at Au Bon Pain w/ baguette

Au Bon Pain is where I go when I don't have a craving for any particular food. The fare at the Pain isn't bad - in fact the chili corn bisque is creamy, yet contains no cream. It's also quite flavorful AND there's no meat in it. (I'm trying to cut back on the carnivoring).

But there's nothing there that when the clock strikes 11:20 a.m. makes me go 'ohh, I'll go have some soup and bread."

However, the soup and bread is cheap. Just give them five bucks and you'll get 80 cents change - enough for a sweet snack later in the afternoon. And, if you're like me and trying to decrease the volume and the fat content of your food intake, then Au Bon Pain is a fine default.
