So food in general, and chefs and people that are really obsessed with food in general,

they like to talk about the high-end stuff that they love and the low-end stuff, like the chain restaurants,

or the super-fine dining things, the super-hot places, but what I always find most telling and

revealing and interesting is the stuff that nobody really wants to talk about or like doesn't talk

about very often, which is like their norm core office lunches.

On today's episode of the Eater episode,

Greg and I are talking with Gabe Stolman,

proprietor of New York's Little Whisko Restaurant Group.

He's a super inspiring dude.

You know, he has some really great restaurants that once you go to them, you're like,

this is going to be like my casual neighborhood place he's really smart he's

really funny and I can't wait to talk with him about his business there it's gonna be

awesome stick around but first Greg let's finish talking about what we started talking

oh great. Oh great. Oh yeah I think it's tremendously revealing and not like I'm judging people when I hear I just find it really interesting.

Like what do you eat when no one is watching? What are you eat when no one's watching? What do you eat when you only have 10 minutes and

you can only go three blocks from your office and you only have the same

boring options,

how do you deal with that situation?

This is the phenomenon of the sad desk salad, right?

Which, which, or what Bonapete magazine

has tried to reframe as

Lunch Al-Desco.
