Take to work lunches!

I just started my first full time job (fresh out of school, can you smell the fear and intimidation?)

My question is, does anyone have a favorite lunch to bring to work? Something that can stand an hour long commute, and that tastes great of course. Bonus points if its healthy. I've been subsisting on whole wheat English muffins with peanut butter and free coffee the past week.

After careful thought, I'm wondering if they sell "milk" and "juice",

I was told once that the test for a clean restaurant is the bathroom. If the bathroom, which is visible to customers, is dirty, imagine the kitchen!

The first time I tasted ____ it was so vile I spit it out

Thousand year old eggs, enough said. I'm told you either love it or hate it. My grandmother would tell me it would make my skin pretty if I ate them. Ummm no.

Serious Sandwiches: Thuet's Smoked Pork Loin and French Toast

I went to Thuet with my parents for Summerlicious last year, and after we ordered we saw Marc Thuet come out of the kitchen and sit at the bar and start drinking a beer. I excitedly said "look its the chef!". What my dad said will make you laugh, "Uhh, shouldn't he be in the kitchen preparing our food?"

What childhood food do you wish they still made?

I don't know what its called, but i used to get them in my trick-or-treat bag. They were pink, brown and white, it was in a sheet the size and shape of a dry lasagna noodle, and i believe it was Allan's brand. This was in Canada mind you. I would probably be disgusted by them now if I ate one, but does anyone remember what this is called/

I'm pretty sure milk juice could be just a blend of milk and fruit. I've had it in Taiwan before. I distinctly remember having watermelon mixed with milk and it was good. There might have been some ice tossed in. There were some other flavors but I don't remember any specifically.

It's kind of like a very water fruit flavored milkshake.

@ag3208: ...And thus the mystique of the milk juice is CRUSHED!

Just kidding. ;) That makes a lot of sense. So much that it kind of depresses me.

That is the best restaurant bathroom I've ever seen.

I don't think I'd ever touch those books, but it's such a clever touch to put them there that I might try to get a reservation just to see the bathroom. (Of course, it doesn't bode well for the food's expected effect on diners.)

@David: AH, you've found the secret to his genius! It's all in the bathroom.

@Annie: That's why I didn't go to the bathroom until my meal was finished; I didn't want to risk missing anything! ;D You'll have to thank Raphael and Adam for asking me to take photos. I don't think I would've come up with that on my own. I mean, as though it's not weird enough that I take photos of all my food...next, the bathroom!

I thought about the Seinfeld episode, too!

I'd almost be afraid to use their restroom...

I love reading in the bathroom, and I love reading cookbooks, but combining the two, even in the comfort of my own home, always seems kinda odd. That being said, maybe if I was out to eat and I'd had some ackelhol to drink, I'd get wild and crazy and read about cookery in the restaurant WC.

Ko's bathroom? Looks more like Cousin Ned's bathroom. Anyway, why would you want to get all comfy and settled-in there when you could miss two or three dishes in fifteen minutes? Thanks, Robyn, for the scoop that even Grub Street could not break--and they have a long-running series on bathrooms all over town.

I wonder if Chef David Chang comes here when he needs inspiration for a dish.
Chef Chang: “I wonder what we should do for a new dish… (thinking...) Bleeper I got nothing! Alright I’m going to the bleeping shitter, be back in 15. Don’t nobody bleep anything up while I’m gone!”

Martha Stewart's Macaroni and Cheese

Has anyone ever tried this with crab? I am on a mission to find a better Mac n' Cheese recipe, but I usually add crab to whatever recipe I use. I will be trying this as soon as I find crab - I just moved to Israel...
