My Answers:
1: When you are or were working, did you take lunch with you, or go out most of the time? I almost always went out, often picking up lunch to take back to the office.
2: Where did you eat your lunch when working? At my desk, a habit formed in my builder days when I really didn't take a lunch break, I was always available.
3: Was there anyone you regularly met for lunch? Most of the last 15 years I worked, I was friends with an government insider. We would meet for lunch about once a month, and talk about events. He was my mole, I was his outside source.
4: Are you more likely to go out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Lunch by far, I love going out to breakfast, but usually only do that when traveling alone.
5: Is there a restaurant that triggers memories for you? East Street Cafe is on the upper level of Union Station in DC, I was surprised to see it was still in business. Oh the conversations that have taken place there.
Please share your answers in the comments.
When you are or were working, did you take lunch with you, or go out most of the time? Neither. I'm not a lunch person. I LOVE breakfast!!!! Then a small mid-morning nosh...nothing more till dinner then.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you eat your lunch when working? Usually didn't but will break and enjoy a coffee and pastry mid-morning.
Was there anyone you regularly met for lunch? Nope
Are you more likely to go out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Breakfast or dinner.
Is there a restaurant that triggers memories for you? Many, many places!
Now I know, inviting you to lunch is not the best idea.

ReplyDeleteI had a home made sandwich before taking my dog for a walk. She came to work with me.
2: Where did you eat your lunch when working?
In my own little office, at my desk.
3: Was there anyone you regularly met for lunch?
Only a member of staff who might pop in to ask work questions, or occasionally a sales rep.
4: Are you more likely to go out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner?
These days, lunch. Then we eat nothing for the rest of the day.
5: Is there a restaurant that triggers memories for you?
The village restaurant called Chez Grandma is where we ate regularly when we found our little holiday home, where we made a lot of friends, made all our plans for renovation then talked about moving to a permanent home and did the whole thing all over again. The same couple still run the place and the menu has hardly changed.
Chez Grandma sounds charming.
Delete1: When you are or were working, did you take lunch with you, or go out most of the time? Mostly went out except at UCSD when I went to the gym on campus everyday; then I brought in Microwave meals.
ReplyDelete2: Where did you eat your lunch when working? At my desk at UCSD or at any number of restaurants.
3: Was there anyone you regularly met for lunch? I had different friends or workmates I’d go with at times.
4: Are you more likely to go out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Dinner
5: Is there a restaurant that triggers memories for you? There are a number of them. Some from “drinking lunch” days.
The restaurants remember you in a good ways.
Delete1. It's about 50/50.
ReplyDelete2. Before Covid I'd take any lunch to large atrium. Since, 99% of the time it is the office.
3. In an earlier position I met almost daily with a group of 2-4. Then it was on my own. By choice.
4. Lunch.
5. There used to be. They no longer exist.
I miss the "University Inn" in Cleveland, we went almost every time we visited family.
DeleteI thought I'd break my social media detox for a minute this morning because I love this post so ....
ReplyDelete1: When you are or were working, did you take lunch with you, or go out most of the time? I did both; if we had soup leftovers from home I took that, otherwise I got takeout from one of the locals or went to Food Truck Tuesdays down at the Farmer's Market site.
2: Where did you eat your lunch when working? We have a small break area or else I eat outside if the weather is nice.
3: Was there anyone you regularly met for lunch? Usually co-workers if we took lunch at the same time.
4: Are you more likely to go out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Dinner, I think, or late lunch. There are a couple of good breakfast spots around but we do that on the weekends sometimes
5: Is there a restaurant that triggers memories for you? Café Europa in Fort Lauderdale where Carlos and I had our first in-person date. Or The Waterboy in Sacramento owned by a friend of mine. We have a few favorite locally, as well.
It is always great to hear from you. Our first date was Olive Garden.
DeleteEast Street Cafe looks like a great place to have lunch. I'd eat there!
ReplyDeleteThe food was good, and the conversation fun and informative. It was also easy for both of us to get to.
Delete1. Back when I was a young troglodyte, I brought my lunch to work.
ReplyDelete2. I always ate my lunch in my car. I had to get aw3ay from people! I would bring a book to keep me company.
3. I would meet imaginary people in my books. Therapy, you know?
4. Depends on the occasion. I love going out for breakfast with Balder. Lunch, too. And of course, dinner.
5. Several for different reasons. Black Angus and The Hungry Hunter in particular. I don't think they're around anymore. Sigh.
I remember Black Angus, and Steak and Ale.
Delete1: When you are or were working, did you take lunch with you, or go out most of the time? About half and half. Now I work from home most of the time and just go to the kitchen.
ReplyDelete2: Where did you eat your lunch when working? Staff lunch room.
3: Was there anyone you regularly met for lunch? No
4: Are you more likely to go out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Dinner
5: Is there a restaurant that triggers memories for you? The only one I can think of is just down the street from me. I've eaten there so many times I have lots of memories from there.
Only when I worked in retail, did I regularly go the the staff break room.
Delete1. I brought my lunch.
ReplyDelete2. I would eat in an empty classroom or conference room on cold or rainy days. I would eat outside when the weather was nice.
3. No.
4. I don't eat out much but it's usually brunch or lunch now.
5. I don't think so?!
I remember the infamous teachers lounge, the smoking room, one of my high school teachers got so drunk one day at lunch, I was asked to cover his afternoon classes. He left teaching the following year.
Delete1: When you are or were working, did you take lunch with you, or go out most of the time? Mostly brought my own lunch (helpful if there was field work), but occasionally went out if the lunch was within walking distance.
ReplyDelete2: Where did you eat your lunch when working? Combination break rooms or cubicle.
3: Was there anyone you regularly met for lunch? Only in one office. I like to be alone to recharge.
4: Are you more likely to go out to breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Late lunch these days. Although breakfasts out are fun because you get to eat more of the forbidden foods.
5: Is there a restaurant that triggers memories for you? Maybe not memories, but I have a fondness for Cafe Bernardo on Capitol Avenue.

Late lunches are fun.
Delete1. Usually brought my lunch when I worked inside.
ReplyDelete2. At my desk.
3. I had a few.
4. Breakfast or lunch these days. $$$$
5. Smuggler's Inn, where I loved their Sand Dabs. Woody's El Nido, a restaurant where we recovered from hangovers with Mexican food and beers. (Oh, my misspent youth!)
We are much more likely to go out to lunch than dinner, and part of that is price.
