Don’t forget… today Kati Roll Co. is debuting Angelo Sosa’s new Shrimp Masala Roll, and the Top Chef will be there himself from Noon to 2pm. I happened to be by Kati Roll earlier this week for lunch with Blondie and had a chance to sample their Chana Masala roll for the first time. Read more »

Half Off Cafe Metro: We don't normally recommend eating at Cafe Metro, but if you have to do it you might as well get 50% off! Today's InBundles deal gets you $14 worth of food from Cafe Metro for just $7, provided you place the order online. (Which, considering the weather lately shouldn't be a problem at all!)

Do you wonder what the ML contributors do when they’re not eating lunch in Midtown? (They’re actually pretty easy to stalk!)
Ultraclay went to a wedding in the Phillipines where he was treated to roast pig! Brownie gets excited that Feburary is pancake and hot chocolate month, while Blondie reminds everyone about the Meatball Slapdown tomorrow night at the Brooklyn Kitchen. Chris H. got to hang out with Kelly Choi at Bann, and our new man Donny had a tasty looking brunch at Peels.
In the rest of the Midtown Lunch universe… Andrea finds a pretty stellar burger at the Pearl St. Diner Downtown, Jamie found two amazing Vietnamese dishes at Pho Xe Lua Viet Thai in Philly, and I ate under $10 sashimi in seedy Downtown L.A. and lived to tell the tale! (It was actually kind of awesome.)

Since this site is about finding lunch during the week we’ve completely tuned out all the crazy stuff restaurants are doing this Sunday… and yet this managed to catch our attention! “On February 3 the food shops and restaurants in Grand Central are throwing the very first Grand Central Terminal Super Bowl Bash. 11 of Grand Central’s food retailers, including Magnolia Bakery, Manhattan Chili Company, Michael Jordan’s The Steakhouse, Café Spice and Mendy’s, will gather in Vanderbilt Hall to give out samples and sell items that make ideal treats for Super Bowl Sunday.” Uh… did somebody say samples! The event takes place from 11:30 to 6:30pm. Freeloaders, prepare to engage.

Hummus Kitchen Coming to Murray Hill: If you're a big fan of hummus, and work in the SE quadrant of Midtown you should be excited about this one. Hummus Kitchen, the popular Mediterranean restaurant on 9th Ave. is opening another location on 31st and 3rd Ave. [Grub Street]

Please give a warm welcome to our newest contributor: Donny T. from the site Eat to Blog
Back in December, Glaze Teriyaki opened to a lot of excitement from Midtown Lunchers and teriyaki lovers. The obvious excitement came from the fact that the owner is a Seattle native, bringing what has become THE food of Seattle to NYC. Chris H. was lucky enough to try the teriyaki when it first opened and liked it a lot. But how does Glaze Teriyaki compare to the real thing?
Well, guess what? I just got back from Seattle! Don’t mind if I do…

Yesterday the Rock Center concourse branch of Jacques Torres opened. When I heard that JT himself would be on hand for the official opening, and that there was free hot chocolate involved I had to go check it out. I dropped by just before noon and the store wasn’t crowded. Chef Torres himself was greeting people at the door. The shop itself is brightly lit and all done up for Valentine’s Day. There are 3 small tables for eating/drinking in and four additional stools at the bar. Read more »

According to the article it will feature "burgers, tacos and sandwiches, mostly inspired by the Far East." Fans of Xie Xie, get excited.
