In the absence of Ellen, we’ve had to fend for ourselves and today, we ventured out to the Northwest Station (Ogilvy) Food Court this afternoon for lunch. It’s been awhile for some of us and even crazier, some TXIers have never been to the food court since joining Table XI. Yes, we’re absolutely spoiled w/great food at TXI, but truth be told, this is a gooood food court. There’s a Taco Bell, McDonald’s, Sbarro, Arbys, Jaffa Bagels, Soupbox, Panda Express, Cajun Grill, Corner Bakery (upstairs), Dunkin Donuts, Cinnabon, Jamba Juice, Ben and Jerrys and some more.
Matt and Greg hit up Arby’s and the rest of us went to Jaffa Bagel* (btw, did you know that there are only 6 Arby’s in the entire downtown Chicago area?!). If you’ve never been to Jaffa Bagel, then you should make sure you go there if you ever have the chance. They have an amazing hot turkey sandwich special for $5.95 w/chips and a drink. Basically, they are constantly roasting turkeys in the back and essentially make a ‘thanksgiving turkey leftovers sandwich’ on the fly. Erik had the Falafel Sandwich and said it was “pretty good.” High praise indeed!
Here we are enjoying lunch w/the rest of Corporate America!
* Footnote: McDonalds did not have the McRib available. Otherwise, many of them would’ve been consumed instead.
Such a relief! I was certainly wondering about you guys and how you were faring without me…
Not so well, we’re all glad you’re back!
Just in case you need that McRib fix – http://kleincast.com/maps/mcrib.php
I’ve been following Ellen’s recipes with some amazement since she has ben with TableXI.
I thought you would like to know what she is feeding us. Maybe you would welcome the change. I’ved put some of her favorites on this site;

Ellen, I’d like to request the “Bacon Cinnamon Roll”. Thanks for the tip Mr. Kratzer!
Back to your golf game, old man!
We’ll see what I feed you tonight, Mr. Smartypants. (happy birthday, anyway)
