Normally, we get fed on Wednesdays. Because we had an all-company meeting on Thursday, and they were going to feed us then, we didn’t get fed on Wednesday. So it was a big mystery as to what I was going to eat for lunch. Then lo and behold, an awesome hump day surprise, when we got flyers saying that the Patio Cafe next door was open! Whoo hoo! On wednesdays during the summer, the building next door grills up a storm and offers a $6 lunch. We’re all big fans.
I got the burger meal… with an angus burger, chips, drink, pasta salad, and cookies. It’s a bargain people, and it’s good.

They always have burgers and hot dogs and then something else. This week, they had salmon. T got the salmon meal.

R went with the hot dog meal. They ran out of cookies so she got watermelon. How healthy of her. It’s the start of summer people, and I’m excited.

I typically don’t go out to eat lunch during the week. Sometimes I’ll go and grab food, but most of the time when we’re not being fed, I will bring my own. Last week my team went out for our “last supper” lunch. We’re getting a new boss. It’s quite a traumatic thing. It deserved some team commiserating. Since we’re in Conshy, there weren’t many options, and noone wanted to make a decision, so we ended up at the Boathouse. It’s not an exciting place, but it’s somewhere to go.

D got a burger of some kind. There’s bacon on it. Can’t go wrong with bacon! K got a chicken BLT sandwich? Looks pretty good, eh? The kept poaching his fries, they were good. Again, bacon on his sandwich, another winner.

R went with the chicken pesto sandwich. It’s got feta cheese on it. I’m not a fan of feta cheese, but otherwise, the sandwich sure looks good. See, it comes on a fancy “rustic focaccia” roll. I went with the good ol soup and sandwich combo. It was the soup of the day – shrimp and roasted corn chowder. Pretty good I must say. The salad was a big house salad. Much bigger than I expected. Good croutons. I picked the sesame ginger dressing. It wasn’t as much dressing as it was a marinade, so it was a bit on the strong side. I shoulda gone with vinaigrette. I had my first leinenkugel that day. You know what, I enjoyed it. Probably a bit too much…

We had our quarterly company meeting last week. Typically, it’s at the West Conshohocken Marriott, but it was moved last minute to the ACE Center. Not a bad thing. They told us some stuff during the meeting, but nothing was surprising. We all knew what was coming.

The lunch was alright. I’ve had better meals there. Similar to my last meal at ACE, it was a little lackluster. The chicken was a bit dry, but the red pepper sauce was great. The creamy italian salad dressing was actually quite noteworthy.

Desserts, as usual, is where the ACE really stands out. There were multiple pies, cakes, chocolates, and even fruit. I went with the apple pie again. I can’t help myself, I know what I like.
