Midtown Lunch

Though we have been lacking volunteers lately, on certain Tuesdays 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 Justin, who loves the ladies as much as he loves noodles. And yes, he is single and ready to mingle, as long as you can use chopsticks- any takers? 

Name: Justin

Age: 27

Occupation: Attorney

Where in Philly do you Work?: Penn Center

Favorite Kind of Food: Noodle soup

Least Favorite Kind of Food: Meh, not sure if I have a least favorite. Not a big mustard, horse radish, wasabi fan.

Favorite Place(s) to Eat Lunch in Philly: I’ve been eating mad salads nowadays–gotta keep my business tightttttttt. I’m a big fan of honeygrow salads. Also, the Duane Morris building has a cafeteria catered by Stephen Starr. They have a solid salad station–under 10 bucks for a salad with salmon. If I indulge, I hit up a chicken and rice cart or some noodle soup in Chinatown or elsewhere. (Lan Zhou, Hiro, any and all Pho places)

“Go-To” Lunch Place You and Your Coworkers Eat at Too Often? Honeygrow is a fan favorite. (Shout out to wild-man Shine wok-master extraordinaire!)

Place you discovered thanks to Philly Lunch (if any) Too many to count. I think I have to credit Banana Leaf to Jamie. (not sure if that made it this site) Banana Leaf will forever and always have my culinary tequilla-soaked heart.

If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? I have to go with Tokyo or Seoul. If I had affordable ramen or kimchee chigae everyday for lunch, I’d be a very happy little camper.

Is there anything you’d like to ask the Philly Lunch readers? Would you rather sweat mayo or poop a softball? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!

I don’t do either of those things, so I can’t answer that.
