Midtown Lunch

As is customary at Philly Lunch, every Tuesday we turn over the site to a different lunch’er for his or her recommendations for the best lunch in Philadelphia. This week it’s Erica, a student who is nostalgic for Chaucer’s and should not be scared to admit that Paesano’s is the absolute best!

Name: Erica

Occupation: Law Student

Where in Philly do you Work?: North Broad Street, Philadelphia

Favorite Kind of Food: My mother’s sauerbraten and red cabbage. More generically: pickles/pickled food. I assume “beer” is an inappropriate answer to this question.

Least Favorite Kind of Food: Food that is under-salted.

Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Philly:
Egg and cheese on english muffin – Golden Donut, 9th and Christian; Pepper and Egg Sandwich – Shank’s; Mahi Mahi Tacos – Jose Pistola’s (15th btwn Locust and Spruce). I also love Paesano’s but I bet everyone says that. [Ed. note- it’s ok, they are just the best!]

“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? Jose Pistola’s

If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? San Francisco: best dim sum ever.

Is there anything you’d like to ask the Philly Lunch readers? Does anyone else have inexplicable nostalgia for Chaucer’s?
