Food cart culture is pretty big in Philly as well. Lots of healthy options too (although EVERY SINGLE TRUCK sells a cheesesteak). I had a falafel salad today from this Egyptian food truck that was out of this world.
falafel is deep fried yo. This was my lunch today. buttermilk baked chicken sandewhich and greens. :MARIS61:
Agree. And it's not really trouble. Sounds like you're a single guy, yes? So make a pot of soup, very easy, takes time to simmer but no real work beyond chopping, divide into 4-6 containers, freeze. That's 4 lunches. Make a salad and add sauteed chicken breast, or garbanzos, or other legume. Takes 5 minutes (that's if you used canned beans; I don't, but am trying to make this easy). Cook a big pot of pintos and make your own burritos, make a ton, freeze in individual portions. Believe me, there are a million cookbooks and web sites on exactly this question. Cheaper, healthier, lower in calories.
