Lunch, a.k.a. Butter
What I Bought: Chicken chipotle sandwich from the Boston VA Hospital
Cost: $5.00 (with a 20 oz. "soda")
Suck of Not: Suck, although the "soda" was fine
Details: So yesterday I got roped into helping out some of my coworkers who are doing a clincal study at one of the hostpitals in Boston. Generally speaking, the hospitals around here are pretty swank (they actually import sick people in Massachusetts) and have correspondingly kickass cafeterias. I brought a lunch from home anyway, thinking that we'd be back on campus before lunch so I'd be able to heat up my leftover Indian chicken from the weekend (which definitely did NOT suck!). But the doctor couldn't find the hole in one guy's colon or something, blah blah blah, and we ended up being there all day. So, around 1:00, I decided to go get a sandwich from the cafeteria...
...And damn if it wasn't the worse-assed sandwich I've ever eaten! I guess being a VA hospital, the patrons at some point in their lives were all being sustained on military food, but even still, this was terrible! The sandwich was euphamistically called "chipotle chicken ciabbatta", which apparently means "boiled McNugget chicken with mayonnaise and 3 pounds of butter, covered in greasy fried onions, served on some white bread that was grilled in 3 more pounds of butter." This sandwich was the sandwich-world equivalent of calling the US President a "thoughtful and well-spoken individual with a balanced and not-hilariously-warped view of reality."
Don't eat at the VA!
But the root beer was good.
