Deep Thoughts, Not Deepak!
From the MYL mailbag:
"Dear editors: I preface my question by assuring you that I'm not trying to be snarky or mean and ask this with all the love in the world I can muster for you and the Monz given that I don't know you. How do I really know that I should try one of these lunches, rather than, say, a lunch at random. Signed: a perplexed eater."
Dear Perplexed: your question is most welcome! First, a brief clarification: we here at myl do not say that you must eat what Monz eats for lunch, though you are certainly free to do so! We only ask that you open your mind and allow Monz to inspire you through the neglected, sacred meal that is lunch. Yes, this requires Soren's old "leap of faith," yet just as the editors believe there is no conflict between true science and true faith, we are not afraid that readers will not follow Monz' lunches blindly. For example, consider the random lunch generator. When we gave it a spin while considering your querie, it came back with the suggestion of sushi for lunch. Say what?! First, presuming you even have a sushi place nearby, that's pretty durn expensive! Not to mention dangerous -- it's one thing to risk those raw micropathogens causing you great lower colonic distress (to say the least!) after leaving the place and heading for home for the evening, but for the rest of the afternoon?! Feeling like a rung-out washcloth? When you could have gone on a "magical road trip journey" to Louie's for a lasagna special (with homemade garlic bread and salad with Italian dressing beets (hold the onions) -- or somesuch? Thus proving, a lunch at random cannot beat the Monz!
