el sucko

Today J.Lo and I went out to lunch, something we don't get to do very often. As prego, it was my call, and though Schlotsky's was calling my name, I opted for us to go to Roudabush's cafe, which is a sandwich shop downtown. J.Lo had never been, and I'd been about 3 times, enjoying it every time. They have a buffet, but I've always gone with the sandwiches, because they really are very unique and good. It was what I was in the mood for.


Except that, they no longer serve sandwiches. You don't even get a menu. The options are: buffet of the day (today: country cooking) or soup, sandwich, and salad buffet. Now, I love a good country buffet, I do. But note that a) I was in the mood for a yummy sandwich, not country cooking, and b) I love a good country buffet. After discovering the new lack of choices at Roudabush's, everything about the lunch was pretty much el sucko. We paid $20 and some change for mediocre fare, including a stale, unspectacular ham and turkey sandwich, garlic mashed potatoes with Heinz gravy, lukewarm mac and cheese, and a few strawberries. They didn't even have chicken and pastry, which may have redeemed the experience, but no.


Live and learn, but next time I'm going for tried-and-true hot dogs at the Trolley Stop.
