Lunchwars moves to London

Get ready for a preview of our London lunches day by day where Andy and Joe face off literally face to face.

Let Lunchwars begin.

Peter Piper didn't Pick Tabasco

Cat.1: Andy - 7 points, Joe - 7+1 points.
Sounds good for both. Turkey noodle sounds really good (extra point).

Cat.2: Andy - 5points, Joe - 5points. Our chefs have shown signs of being dormant. Both meals for todays lunch are just adding stuff to form a sandwich. Nothing wrong with that, it's just not showing the love for Cat. 2.

Cat.3: Andy - 6points , Joe - 6+1 points. Extra point for wheat bread. But..is the turkey noodle comes from a can, or a yesterday leftover from a restaurant? Hmnnnnnnnn.....

Cat. 4(bonus point): Andy - 7 points, Joe - 10-5 points (definitely spicier than Pepperoncinis peppers but taste yuckier :P).

Good tips: Try shiracha sauce next time please hehehe.

Total point: Andy - 25points, Joe - 25points.

Will be back tomorrow with the result after we interrogate Joe thoroughly.......... While thinking about tools will be used for it ..oo yeahhhhh... :)

It's all about the Pepper

Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked.
If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers
How many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?

If Peter did his picking in preparation for Lunch Wars then the answer would be one jar of pickled Pepperoncinis peppers. Chef Andy's kitchen spent a week waiting for this lunch. For that was how long it took for the freshly purchased jar of Pepperoncinis to fully mature.

A bountiful bed of honey baked turkey breast provides the core of today's meal, with the powerful Pepperoncini peppers layered on top to pack a perfect lunch time punch. Layers of tomatoes and mayonnaise complement the peppers.

Peace,
Andy

Back and Attack!

Today Chef Joe has brought in a meal that could have been favored by
famed fictitious sci-fi writer Kilgore Trout, whom we know Kurt
Vonnegut adored. We know that classic America has loved Mr. Potato
Head. It is an icon that has forever symbolized victory. That is why
today Chef Joe has selected only the finest Whole Wheat Potato Bread.

Whole What... Whole Wheat!!! Next only the most thinly sliced tender
chicken could grace Mr. Potato Head's face and the only cheese he
loved was Monterey Jack. This meal is accompanied by another simple
twist of a classic American dish. Turkey Noodle Soup.

Now Chef Joe realized that this meal was fantastic but he wanted to
make it spectacular. BAM! Tabasco sauce on the sandwich for some hot
spicy love.

Good luck to all competing chefs.

Latest update for last Thursday's Lunch

Many regular readers of Lunchwars might have wondered and waited on Andy's Lunch last Thursday, July 2, 2009.

What happened was that Andy was still celebrating his independence day, and still in the journey to find his true holy bloodline. So he was fasting that day. Nevertheless, Joe still won the lunchwar :)

I'm Feeling Hot Hot Hot

A small slice of potato begins a journey,
Down mechanical conveyors and through metal chutes,
The sounds of clunking metal like music from lutes.

A boiling vat of oil, simmering in the distance,
Metaphysically transforming life into soul,
Spicy little chips that fill a bowl.

A soft tortilla hugs an Asian inspired pattie,
Peach and cheese are the bishops in this game of chess,
Eating today is an amazing success.

Andy's Origin and Independence Day

Cat.1: Andy - 8+2points, Joe - 8 points.

Knowing Andy for quite a while now, but I actually still wonder which country is he originally from. His face features are a collection from a lot of countries. Today's post from Andy has again brought this question to my mind. Why is he declaring today as Independence Day?

Did a little research and found that today is Canada day. So is he a Canadian then? hmn ...remember the keyword here .. he said Independence Day. Did some more research... BOOYAH!!! A strange sensation of a light bulb suddenly flashed in my brain, everything makes sense now. Today is Somalia's Independence Day! He is Somalian :)



Extra 2 points for celebrating ur Independence day Andy!


Cat.2: Andy - 7 points, Joe - 7+3 points.

Exquisite lunch it is my friend, u deserve 3 sci-fi bonus points for it.

Cat.3: Andy - 5 points , Joe - 8 points. Peaches and Cheese...but saved from 1010 years ago? hmnnnn ur starting more like Andy. He has peaches in can that was expired 3 years ago on his desk.

Cat.4(Bonus point): Andy - 0 point, Joe - 6 point. Spicy Chipotle and pepper ...yummmyyyy. Gonna go to Chipotle for lunch later thanks to you Joe :)

Total point: Andy - 22 points, Joe - 32 points.

For Freedom

Today, in celebration of our great countries independence and continuous struggle for the freedoms that sometimes we can take for granted, Chef Andy’s kitchen prepared a canonical country spread.

First course: roasted whole grain triscuits with a light sprinkling of dried and diced red tomatoes, bell peppers, and seasoning. Throw one of these triscuits on any park lawn and you would see nature spring before you trying to get a bite.

Second Course: Grilled hot dogs. These are not your ordinary hot dogs, they are quarter pound New York style hot dogs. These hot dogs could be used to keep damns from flooding. They make vegetarians cry on sight, and vegans are not allowed to look at them for fear of what may happen. You could fend off a horde of oncoming bulls with them, tame a wild stallion or even float down a river on one. And we could go on, but all good things must come to an end. Fortunately, however, this is not the end of this lunch.

Third Course: The nutella and peanut butter synergy sandwich provides both an excellent after meal pallet cleansing and a satiating way to finish off the work day.

People in the future will look back and regret not taking cows with them to the lands of Alfalfaleus and Chipotlens

Have a good weekend!
Andy

A Sci-Fi Story for our Friends

Assam Beeblebrock valiantly walked through the small corridors of his SCG35 Assault Frigate.  Assam was Commander of the Jennifer, the 85th most prestigious battleship that the Union of Sovereign Nations comissioned.  1 through 84 were led by those commanders that went to prestigious Spatial Warfare academies, for the most part private institutions.  Assam had the pleasure of going to a state funded program and although more intelligent and less in debt than his colleagues, the matter of fact was that he still went to a public school.

 

There were no hard feelings between Assam and his fellow colleagues.  In fact, a majority of the commanders for 86 through 1,345 went to private institutions as well and this satiated Assam's minute although present need for power.  For now, Assam felt content.

 

It was the 2,345th straight day that Assam's ship was patrolling the borders of Alfalfaleus and Chipotlens.  And except for a few drunken space pilots flashing (in the naughty way) the Assault Frigate, there was nothing to report.  In fact, there had been no war since all sugary drinks had been eliminated from the diets of the Debrons.  Apparently, sugar caused obesity, and obesity caused frustration, and people became obese because they were frustrated.  So the politicians and CEOs in the world took the liberty of creating world peace.  It was nice.  But for Assam it was torture.  The thought of waking up every day and space biking through the corners of space to his powerful assault frigate, commanding the legions of doom, and going home to work out and sleep, was enough to drive a young man insane.

 

That is until he found a new temporary way to numb his mind.  Lunch.  He would make exquisite lunches and eat them with a gigantic smile on his face.  We flash back to July 1st, 3019 to a memorable day and an award winning lunch.

 

...Alfalfa sprouts fond on Alfalfaleus and a Chipotle and Pepper tortilla wrap on Chipotlens are the key ingredients.  He carefully coated the SPICY wrap with light mayo, added slices of salty and creamy American cheese and placed the space grown alfalfa on top of the sauce and cheese.  He then carefully placed the chicken on the lovely ingredients and enclosed the wrap.

 

He carefully took out from his cryogenic refrigerator, string cheese he had saved from 2009 as well as a New Jersey peach so succulently defined by sweetness.  He put this together in a space plastic bag and his lunch was complete.

 

Right as he sat down to eat his beautiful lunch, the Andrewgenos Reidsums flew in from warp space.  They fired their proton pasifacators.  Assam ran to the battle station and screamed, "This is war!!!"
