...come from Lettuce Entertain You.
Okay, okay...I know. I have a problem. I cannot go more than a month without a Lettuce Entertain You meal. What's that you say? A twelve-step program?!? You can't make me! I can quit anytime I want!! But why on earth would I want to?
There's this great place I know of where you can get Lettuce Entertain You food...and spend less than $10.
You read that correctly.
And there's five different locations throughout the city of Chicago.
I'll let that sink in.
Two words, lovies. Wow Bao. Steamed Asian buns filled with savory meats (and sweet stuff if you want it...my friend said the coconut is delicious). I usually get the BBQ pork (sweet and savory), the Mongolian beef (a wee bit spicier than I remembered it, but delish), or the chicken teriyaki (how could you possibly go wrong with that?). I wish I had a photo for you, but it had been a while since breakfast...as soon as I sat down I did my best makeshift Cookie Monster impression. Bao instead of cookies. I know, it's a powerful visual...
They cost less than two dollars apiece, and I know I can never eat more than two. So we're coming in at just under five dollars. You with me so far? Now throw in the homemade ginger ale, $2.49, and you've got lunch. Excellent.
There's one in Water Tower Place, and there's one underneath the Renaissance Hotel at the corner of State and Lake. Beyond that, you can check their site.
After eating only campus food for way, way, way too long, the highlight of my week thus far has been sitting at the counter at Wow Bao with a friend, enjoying a good meal that was entirely worth what I paid for it.
