It's no secret that I am slightly particular about where I go for lunch. Seriously, I spend all day working at a lab bench, and lunch is my hour escape for the day. I want to spend it somewhere nice, and not near the lab or any semblance of work. Thus, I usually go off campus. I have found a few places which I enjoy and regularly frequent, but the trick is to space out how often you go to one restaurant. I don't want to become a "regular" at a place, because then the people who work there begin to feel as if they know you, and then they try to initiate social interaction, and that just leads to a whole different can of worms. Casual conversation is nice, but having a waitress come up and ask for the 793rd time if everything is alright followed by a serious conversation about her boyfriend's erectile dysfunction and it's impact on their relationship and thus global warming is where I tend to draw the line.

Recently, aside from the usual places (Chipotle, Foronomo's, Rincon Market, etc.), I have recently added Quiznos subs to the list. I first went to Quiznos quite some time ago and I remember not liking the food that I had ordered. This lead to a dry spell between me and Quiznos...my loyalty so Subway could simply not be shaken). This changed however when I went back with some people at work. I tried a sandwich and decided that it was probably the best sub that I had had in quite some time. Since then, I have frequented the restaurant many times. Recently, I was watching the rain fall down from a streetlamp inside Quiznos when I noticed that it began flying sideways and fluttering to the ground. It was snowing. And that brings me to my story.
