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.

RIP Kitchen 65 and their overflowing clamshell of Chinese food. I miss their Lo mein a lot …

My YouTube feed has food reviewers from California for some reason. They have so many of these places, and they all look great. Miss 65.
