Uva Pizza
uvetta $24.50
it was fine, but the more i ate it the less impressed i was, especially for the price.
return visit? no
Ilse coffee
frittata $17.00
it's only been open two days but they make a deliciously fluffy egg cube. a bit pricey.
return visit? yes
Subwayat Mobil
chicken bacon ranch $8.69
i opted for the 6 inch on the comforting italian herb and cheese. despite suspect chicken, you throw enough ranch on something and it improves.

Pleasant and Main
open face breakfast croissant $13.00
the meal gave me diner energy. i was only charged $10 on account of my sunny disposition.
return visit? yes
Taft Farms
the thanksgiving $14.95
not the speediest during the lunch rush. a monster of sandwich, intended to induce a thanksgiving-esque coma. pretty tasty, except the bread was a little dry.
return visit? yes
Siam Square
chicken pad thai $17.99
it came out faster than my big mac (not a good thing). a bit too sweet, chicken kind of rubbery.
return visit? no
Market 32
hot bar $7.00
$9.99/lb. with no hesitation the popular items were burnt ends, lo mein, and chicken wings. burnt end gave microwave meat vibes. wings were on point.
return visit? no
Rubi's Cafe
classic grilled cheese $9.50
a lovely grilled cheese that comes with a side of second-hand smoke from lack of ventilation.
return visit? yes
Momma Lo's BBQ
ribs lunch special $13.75
good stuff. reasonable price.
return visit? yes
Prairie Whale
cheeseburger $25.00
actually the "vermount cattlemen grass-fed cheeseburger." it was good, but the most expensive burger in town it doesn't live up to the price tag. very good fries though.
return visit? maybe

vodka chicken parm $16.00
sandwich component quality was inconsistent. vibes were nice. one area was infested with babies.
return visit? maybe

return visit? maybe

very good sandwich. baguette was crispy on the outside, soft on the inside. sticker shock though.
return visit? maybe
McDonald's
big mac extra value meal $10.49
my excitement about my first visit to mickey d's in 15 years dissipated faster than my order was done (insanely fast). either my taste has changed or the quality has dropped, or both.
return visit? no
The Marketplace Kitchen Table
oooh mexico sandwich $11.99
i didn't expect this to be the pick. a satisfying panini, though I feel strongly that lettuce has no place on a hot pressed sandwich.
return visit? maybe
Steam Noodle Cafe
khao soi gai $18.00
disclaimer: i had to get takeout since it was crokinole night. a nice steamy soup, good flavor. felt a little swollen after.

return visit? no

dissapointingly chewy chicken. breaking my own rules based on other dishes i've had to move this from a no to a maybe.
return visit? maybe

a solid pie, best fresh out of the oven. the small was large. i've noticed that people love the multi-meat meals.
return visit? yes
Great Wall Chinese Food
house special lo mein $9.20
it tasted exactly like my childhood chinese restaurant, so bonus points for nostalgia. veggies were scarce, but flavor was there. the piles of boxes in the kitchen was a little disconcerting.
return visit? no
No Comply Foods
griddle cheeseburger $16.00
i'm a bit burned out on burgers, but this rekindled the romance with the jalapeno relish and pickled onion. gold star for tip included.
return visit? yes

the bird $13.99
a comforting sandwich, but lacked pizazz. some hot sauce and salt improved things.

four unique meats wasn't enough to overcome the colossus of cheese. come here to support big dairy.
return visit? no
