Millie's

One of the places that we end up going at least 3 times a week for lunch is Millie's.  It's not far from the office (especially if you cut through the back alley) but it has fairly straightforward traditional food.  One thing that I've learned is that deli meat doesn't really exist.  For example, I ordered a club sandwich the other day which included big cut up pieces of chicken.  I tend to get a burrito, but it's not a burrito like we think about it.  Again, it's cut up pieces of chicken or beef wrapped in a tortilla (or more like tortilla-like - it's a bit of a cross between a tortilla and very thin pastry dough) and that's it.  They also have burgers there which on the surface would seem like a good idea, but again, aren't quite the same.  That said, it's one of the best places we've found and we probably go there far too often.

The other day, a few of us from the office went for lunch.  According to our Mongolian friends the burger is the best and beats an American-style diner any day (I'd disagree).  The other thing that I noticed for the first time was the clarification of "real" (see photo).  It's not a comforting clarification for me - and I'm not still not sure if they are referring to the chicken or the pepperoni.


The burger.  The fries are pretty good.

Miguel and Batman.  Batman is all in on the burger

A little hard to see - the "real" reference listed under pizza
