If you could work anywhere (just because of the lunch) where would it be and why? It would have to be Athens, Greece – I’m 1/2 Greek and am obsessed with anything containing goats-milk feta, olives and lemon.

Is there anything you’d like to ask the Philly Lunch readers? I’d love to know where folks are finding locally sourced lunch options. We run a feature on the Philly Homegrown blog called Locavore Lunch and are always on the hunt for a great local bite!

I loves GTC’s RW menu, so much local goodness!
