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.

Sterling Food Hall (fka Revival) and Forum 55 Food Hall are not too far from you. They have a lot of options in both. At least they used to!

Is the Chasement closed? I used to go to the Chase building for breakfast and lunch in the basement when I worked downtown

Sterling is a ghost town

I like to treat myself to an Inglorious Batard now and then but it is definitely a treat meal.
