Burgers & Blues

Gonna try a new place today. Its supposedly is run by the same folks that runs Stamps/Cool Al's so it should be a great burger.

Its over by that Chinese restaurant off of Centre St.

Billy Ray has nothing on Duke

Yes, we have another B-Day on the Lunch Bus today. Duke is one more year removed from his good ol' Mullet Days. I hear Duke is planning on bringing the Mullet back to its former glory though. To celebrate the Mullet goodness we will toast him with a Molcajete at Cazadores today for Lunch.

Moses' B-Day

Today is Moses' Birthday. In honor of him defying Natural Selection we shall feast on fried catfish and chicken at Cock of the Walk today for lunch. Come one come all and watch the skillet bread hit the fan!

The old man and his mustache are 28 years old today.

Breaking News

Live, breaking news; Apparently I'm Fat! That's right.

"Don't you call me pudgy, portly or stout
Just now tell me once again who's fat"

You heard me, and yes I just quoted Wierd Al lyrics. Anyways this epiphany has prompted me to try to dip my toe into the pool that is healthy eating. I have played a little in the shallow end of the pool a time or two, but never stayed as pool rules don't allow you to swim until an hour after eating at the buffet. Well enough rambling, the Lunch Bus will be headed to Jason's Deli for lunch today. Don't worry about me I will not shrivel away. I'm sure I can ruin a perfectly healthy salad by piling on bacon bits, cheese, and ranch dressing. Of course to join my salad will be a nice soup probably covered with cheese. Currently I'm debating between French Onion or Loaded Baked Potato. Come join the Lunch Bus today and see what I decide.

I am posting this message early today so you can share with your healthy eating friends, so that you may bring the joy of the Lunch Bus into their lives too.

Start the Week Off Right

To start the week off right, The Lunch Bus will be headed to Hamil's.

Mugshots

Its Friday and we deserve a good lunch, so we will head to Mugshots. Now boarding.

Fried Chicken Day at Primo's

Its Fried Chicken Day at Primo's so that sounds like a good choice to me. How you can pick Indian food over that I do not know. Anyways to each their own. Not leaving just yet, just wanted to put the plan out there. Probably will be heading out shortly after 11 as Primo's does get crowded on Fried Chicken day.

Mmmmmm Strawberries

Have you had your Tetnus Shot?

I'm craving some good onion rings today, so Trace Grill comes to mind. The Lunch Bus is now boarding for the Log Cabin.

Newk's

Pizza, sandwiches, soup, salad, fun for everyone! And most importantly little crunchy breadsticks!

All aboard.

Snack Time

The wife cleaned the snacks out of the pantry. If anyone is interested come and get it.

Mexican Monday

Suprise, Suprise its Monday and The Lunch Bus is going Mexican. Molcajete anyone?

Lunch Rocket Sled!

It could work.

Lunch Bus Tease

I know I may have teased some of you with the mention of Crab Shack, but I'm pulling a switch to Kyoto's. All aboard! What you think, Volcano pic for the blog?

Also don't forget to vote on the Lunch Bus Participant name. Speak now or forever hold your peace. If you select other make a comment on one of the posts with the suggestion.

Indian Express

I believe the Indian Express is running today so see Moses for details. The Lunch Bus will not be in service today as I am meeting a friend to discuss some things.

This one is for Duke!

Here is the molcajete for any of those who have not seen it. The fact it comes in a pig is somehow appropriate.

Lunch Bus Excuse

You may be excused from The Lunch Bus today, but only if you need head home and pick up some golf clubs so you can go golfing with us after work.

For the rest of you, you are required to attend The Lunch Bus Luncheon at Cazadores today. Check you local Lunch Bus driver for departure times.

Also don't forget to visit the site and vote on our poll.

Trek to the Log Cabin

That's right boys and girls, Today we will go on a field trip through the wilderness of Ridgeland to the famous Log Cabin home of Trace Grill.

Here is a random food link for your reading enjoyment: Machine Gun Bacon

Double Down Goodness

Andrew took the first Lunch Bus bite of a Double Down, and it was good. I was pleasantly surprised how good this thing was. James, did make a good observation that they were "generous with the oil". So take my advice and pick up a couple extra napkins when you order this.

Time to Double Down.

Its busy here at work so gotta hit KFC quickly this time. Read more why we are doing this (other than its awesome) here.

If you are meeting us we are headed to the KFC at County Line Road.

On Lock Down

Sounds like we will be dining in today. Lenny is working on getting some food brought in for Lunch, so the Lunch Bus is on Lock down today.

Lunch Bus: Dinner Edition

Props to Richard for the Chicken.

Let's spice up the Blog entry a little. How about a caption / narration contest. It shouldn't be too hard to come up with something funny, I mean Carl is in the picture you're halfway there.

Prep for the Double Down

To prepare our arteries for the Double Down on Monday, I though a Salad would be a good idea. So, The Lunch Bus will be headed to Jason's Deli today for some healthy eating.

Time to Protest

Those that know me know I'm fat and lazy, this typically goes for my politics too. But politicians are messing with my RIGHT to be fat and lazy. The Federal, and some state governments are looking for a way to pay for Health care and are going to start legislating what is "appropriate" food to eat via taxes. The first proposal catching momentum is a Soda Tax. Read more in the link below.

Barnesville: Soda tax and the new government health bill

I think this is unacceptable and we should protest. That is why I am planning for The Lunch Bus to go to KFC next week. Why KFC you ask? They are laughing in the face of health nuts everywhere by coming out with a new menu item, the Double Down! It will be available on Monday, and I think it is the image of opposition to the Soda Tax proposition! You can read more about it here. For those that want to support the cause, but want to still eat healthy brown bag it and make your own vegan version.

So who is with me? Mike, Duke, anybody coming in town to help support? You can always be with us in spirit by joining the cause at your own local KFC.

And if you think I jest, here is the count down on KFC's site.

Bribes Accepted

Today's Lunch Bus destination is brought to you via a "Luncher's"* suggestion. We will be headed to the infamous Killing Fields, Kyoto's. Lunch Bus destination suggestions are always accepted, as are bribes which will significantly help your suggestions chances at being picked.

* What term do you think is best for describing those that participate on the Lunch Bus journeys? Lunchers, Bussers, Kyle's minion's, help me out here and throw out some ideas.

SoulShine

After a brutal interrogation of the enemy prisoners, we got the intel we needed. Lunch will be at Soul Shine. It only took several broken fingers and a single broken knee cap.

Molcajete Madness

Well you can all breathe a sigh of relief, the queso ransom worked and the Lunch Bus is back under my control. There are a few thoughts I would like to share from today's lunch outing.

- The Chalupa question? What exactly is a Chalupa? What you get at one Mexican restaurant is not necessarily the same thing you get from another Mexican restaurant (especially Taco Bell). What we got I was more accustomed to calling a Tostada. Is it two names for the same thing(ie Crawfish/Crawdad), or does nobody know and its a crap shoot as to what you'll get?

- The Molcajete, no matter how may times I order it, it still amazes me. Next time I'll get a picture so I can document my amazement properly to share.

- Finally there is James. He says he's gonna meet us for lunch but blows us off, he's a no show. What gives James? Is Duke jealous that we went Mexican and won't let you go? Did you not feel like Mexican, where / when do you like to eat, maybe we can accommodate. You did make a giant Faux Pas by parking in the Lunch Bus parking spot. I'll let you slide this time, but next time may result in a sinister plot against you.

Lunch Bus Hijacked!

As you already know my wife has hijacked The Lunch Bus. She is demanding a ransom of queso for the use of the Lunch Bus today. I normally don't give in to terrorist's demands, but its Monday so we're supposed to go Mexican anyways. So load up, err wait outside for the wife. Remember space is limited so be ready or you have to drive yourself.

Viva Cazadores!

Help Wanted

The Lunch Bus has been confiscated by the wife while her car is in the shop ( Oil Change / Tire Rotation, etc). Anyways volunteers for driving to lunch are being sought. The wife may join us and possible do a pickup at the office, but won't know until lunch time. Also if anyone has lunch suggestions please post comments and we'll see what people are up for today.

No Soup for Andrew

Thats right I'm calling you out for screwing with my poll. <enter joke here>. Since the poll doesn't seem to work I'm dictating a trip to Kyoto's!

Hanging Chads

The Poll has closed an Red Lobster is leading. Due to the Mutiny yesterday, a recount will now need to happen to check for hanging chads (aka people voting who are not coming to lunch). But for those coming to lunch time to load up, and watch Moses puff up like a blow fish when he sees a lobster.

Breakfast Wagon

The Lunch Bus affilate Breakfast Wagon has brought in some biscuits.

Lunch Bus Mutiny Details

So it was lunch time and I gather the troops and find my self alone. Those that had voted for Kyoto's were a no show. I was then bribed with a free lunch offer if I went Indian. What's a guy to do. All in all it was not a bad trip. Buffet is a great way to try out ethnic food so you can choose portion size or just stick with what you like. Still not one of my favorites, but tolerable on an occasional basis. Tandoori Chicken is basically a smokey flavored Hot Wing and was the basis of my plate. I then proceeded to fill up on this toasty pita-bread like stuff they had at the tables. I think I ate a whole basket of that stuff myself, go Carbs!

Lunch Bus Mutiny

There was a mutiny, going to Spice ave instead. details to come.

Fried Lice

Well the people have spoken, and it is time to go to Kyoto's for lunch. Spice Ave. made a valiant run there at the end, but didn't quite make it.

What a way to start the month off right with some Fried Lice!

The poll thing seems to work well. I will try to keep it up, and rotate some choices, may be a weekly vote, rather than daily. we'll see what works best.

Kyoto's
