Husseyfit!
In the editors experience, any place that serves sweet potato fries is pretty decent. Monz has higher standards, explaining why he gives a "eh" to the cuisine to Hussey's (but a "hey" for ambience), where he ordered a reuben on marble rye (and the aforementioned sweet-tayter fries).
When we ran out, we ran out to White Hen. For a deli sandwich. For anything on Christmas or Thanksgiving Day. For coffee at 3:00 AM. Alas, no more: White Hen has been bought-up by 7-Eleven. We here are myl aren't old enough to remember when the name "Seven-Eleven" was a reference to the chain's long hours (believe it or not, 7AM-11PM used to impress people). But we're close -- maybe 6AM - 12PM. Anyway, White Hen used to kick 7-Eleven's booty in terms of locations/quality/advertising. But somewhere down the line they lost their way. Soon we saw used-to-be-white-hen's with the neon signs removed, replaced by plastic banners with similar names like "Hometown Pantry."
The revolution will not be franchised.

Monz does eat on the weekend, including lunch. In his munificence, he lets the editors rest, though sometimes when the lunch or events are too spectacular to ignore then like a racing and broadcast legendwe will interrupt the weekend to post.
Personally, my weekend lunches are often better than the week day ones. I'm in favor of weekend lunch blogging!
