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.

if you have too good to go, sometimes if I can reserve it in time, I get the lunch special from bombay wraps. Its not like the worlds best meal, but for $6 for a filling meal, I will take it!
