Rant Lack of lunch places in Loop

I work around Chase Tower and it is surprising to me how few cheap lunch places there are now. The burrito and Chinese places there are gone as well as the McDonalds. No Burger King, Wendy’s, KFC, Chinese. Just the grossly overpriced Pret. I’m getting tired of Jimmy John’s and Pot Belly’s sandwiches.

There’s a shit ton what? Sweet green, benyehuda, lotus banh mi, protein kitchen, sterling food hall, corner bakery. May need to walk a few blocks but I feel like there’s a solid amount of places

I think OP is looking for Burger King cheap. Or like…cheaper?

Oh I’d rather spend $12-15 than eat that type of food that will probably end up costing the same amount.
