    The 7-11 Indian Buffet/Internet Cafe

    August 18th, 2008 by knorby

    I enjoyed another lunch today from the Indian restaurant component of a 7-11 close to where I work (IT stuff at a trading firm) at Washington and Wells. I have never seen another 7-11 with its own restaurant before (fast food, maybe, but this place is different), so I was pretty shocked to see it. When I went last time, I asked if there were any others, and she said it was the first one like it (who knows though). It is also an “internet cafe,” which means they have wifi I think, but I haven’t had a reason to stay. They are only open from 11-6, so it is a lunch place. One of the most bizarre sights I have seen in a while.

    old signs for what I guess was an internet cafe before. Who knows if they still have that going.

    Reunited with an Old Love….

    February 2nd, 2008 by knorby

    I went to the Med today, which I have been frequenting for take out recently, and I decided to get an old love of mine, but with a new twist… For a long time, my favorite sandwich, perhaps my favorite food, has been a grilled cheese sandwich from the Med with blue cheese on rye bread. When I was a vegetarian, I would always get it. Since I went back to eating meat, I have tended to get burgers. I have never regretted a Med burger, but I had forgotten how great the blue cheese grill cheese is. This time, I got it with bacon, which made it just that much better. Bacon really makes everything better… It is really hard to get it by take out and have it be decent, so I suppose the moral is that I need to eat in at the Med more.
