You’re quite right Stephen, I’d totally forgotten about Fallon & Byrne’s lunch counter. They’re almost exactly what I had in mind – you can get a choice of sides (white rice, brown rice, couscous etc) with your mains, and they have a good selection. I like their Thai green curry. If they just moved a bit closer to my office, it’d be perfect.
Thanks for the link Paschal, that’s a really interesting article. Also: yikes! Although it seems like eating in any restaurant in the US could lead to you eating this food – as the piece says, plenty of high end restaurants use Sysco’s premade and frozen food as well.

Although it’s hardly a cheap destination in general, Fallon & Byrne do some really tasty lunch takeaways for a good bit less than a tenner.
