Noodles and Company

Dear Food Diary,

Today I went to Noodles and Company in Central Park.  I tried the Truffle Mac with Marinated Steak, the Wisconsin Mac and Cheese, the Japanese Pan Noodles with Chicken, the Pad Thai with Shrimp, the Pot Stickers, and the Lettuce Wraps.  Don't judge me, there were left overs.   They also had wine available, but I couldn't drink anything because I had to leave to go to my day job.  Feel free click on one of the ads on my page several thousand time so that I can quite my day job.  Just kidding.  No I'm not.  Anyway, the Pad Thai was not as flavorful as expected.  Sort of a less adventurous form of Thai food.  That having been said, if you want to try to Thai food but are scared to, this would be a good place to start.  The Pot Stickers were three dollars for only three Pot Stickers.  What's up with that?  And lettuce wraps weren't what I was expecting.  They just gave you a plate of lettuce and a bowl of toppings.  You have to have to put them together yourself.  Again, what's up with that?  I should have just ordered a salad.  The best thing I tried was the Truffle Mac.  I recommend that you go there and try it.  But I should note that there was one thing missing in my Truffle Mac, truffles.  There are no truffles in Truffle Mac, just mushrooms.  What's the difference between a mushroom and a truffle?  So glad you asked.  Truffles grow underground and mushrooms grow above ground.  Oh and truffles are more expensive.  So this dish that costs only $7.95 includes no truffles.  How do they get away with calling it Truffle Mac, it contains white truffle oil.  If you ask me that still makes it a lie.  There you have it.  My lunch was lie.  And it was delicious.

Once again, thanks for reading my food diary.  This is the girl that ate Fredericksburg, saying "don't judge me."

Doc's Pizza Drive-Thru

Dear Food Diary,

I bought pizza today in my pajamas.  It was like a dream.  I drove up to the pizza joint and they slid a large pizza right into my car window.  Well a pizza, a fountain drink, a two liter of soda, an order of hot wings, a salad, an order of bread-sticks... basically one of everything on the menu.  Actually when I first drove up to the window I wasn't sure they were open.  I had to be beep the horn to get someone's attention.  But a moment later a friendly flour covered food server came to take my order.  I had the option to buy the pizza by the slice but i opted to buy their only sized whole pizza, a 14 inch eight cut.  I was hungry, ok?  Don't judge me.  So the next time you're feeling hungry but don't want to get dressed try Doc's Pizza on Courthouse Road.  Trust me when I say the generous amount of cheese will make sitting down alone to a 14 inch pizza seem less sad.  While you're at it you can try their wings that weren't the crispy kind, they were the slimy kind, but you know the good kind of slimy.  The kind of slimy that makes you dip your breadstick in it's grease.

Anyway, thanks for reading my food diary.  Once again, this is the girl who ate fredericksburg saying, don't judge me.
