What did you eat for lunch today?

So what's your lunch schedule like?
I used to bring my lunch all the time but I got tired of eating leftovers from the night before so I basically make a quick drive down the street where there's a cluster of restaurants and hit at least one every day.
Monday is usually Subway day. Usually a 6-inch Chicken Breast or 6-inch Turkey on Wheat.
Tuesday is Smoothie King day. Medium smoothie, usually at random, keeping towards the leaner stuff but with the turbinado (sugar) not included. Also a random powerbar/clif bar equivalent.
Wednesday is typically Grocery Day. I'll hit the local grocery store and pick up a pre-made sammich or a frozen healthy choice dinner, a vitamin water, and some fruit.
Thursday is McDonalds day. The only thing I eat at McDonald's is the southwest salad, so it's that, water, and a parfait (usually)
Friday is Random day. Sometimes I use it as my slummin' it day and get fast food, sometimes I'll stop at a new place (Kid Creole for a Shrimp Po-Boy), or sometimes I'll repeat one of the above four.
I usually mix the day of the week up, but I hit at least those top four each week.
So for you working folks, how do you handle lunch?

Normally I'll make a sammich of some sort and have some hummus with whatever I have around.
If faith is just a silent tribute, mine is just a desperate act.
I find my checking account greatly appreciates me brown-bagging it to work, and I use less gas in my car and have a little more free time on my lunch break. Rarely I'll grab fast food (usually Chick-Fil-A).
I'll change up the sandwich meat, chips (used to do Pringles but they just had another stealth price increase, bastards). Usually have MM light lemonade (or is it limeade?) but Wally world didn't have any.
I haven't done the math, but I probably save $15-20 a week versus getting fast food.
Five hours later, when I went no. 2, I regretted my decision.
Though maybe some day this week I'll grab somethin good.
Very nommy.

Seemed appropriate.
I brown bag it four times a week to save money, and eat out on Wednesday or Friday to keep myself from going into a tuna-induced psychotic episode.
We also have Thai, burritos, other great sandwich shops, awesome thin crust pizza, and even a really tasty Venezuelan place.
I work in a city of about 400k, on the outskirts of London. It is big, but it kind of lacks for good, lunch time cafe freshly prepared food. So I tend to eat rather poorly compared to how I did in NZ, where that kind of thing is a little easier to get.
For some reason I really hate the idea of bringing my lunch to work, even though I'm sure I could save a bit of cash. No matte where I've worked, I've always really needed to get out of the office and walk for a few minutes, then buy some food.
That's the other thing, too, actually. I use lunchtime as my excuse to escape this madhouse for at least a half-hour.
The Burger Stand makes really good burgers, I normally eat there about once a week or so. But I'm currently poor and was going to get something cheaper.
Hurrah for free lunch!
I usually bring my own lunch. What there is in terms of takeaway food near my office is either boring or horribly expensive.
I didn't brown-bag it nearly as often when I was over there...
*avatar zombie high five*
I'm very boring when it comes to making lunch for myself.
There's plenty of places to eat around the area where I work (basically Downtown), but the good places cost $$. They're worth it though, if only for a once a week trip.
This is true. If only I made better use of my "work kitchen".
Today it was a drive home for Mac n Cheese. Usually it's going out with people from work. Lots of different places. I really want to bring lunch more often, but it becomes difficult as I am a terrible morning person. Especially since bringing lunch 4 times a week would save me almost $150 - $200 a month.

When I was working for him, every friday he would either buy everyone lunch (order pizza or something) or they would have a couple of people cook a huge feast.
It was a really effective way to make everyone feel a bit happier about themselves and their work situation and to help his employees save a fuckload of money.
I had a Red Robin Burnin' Love Burger.
Usually: Soup + crackers.
Is dinner time now though. As soon as I get out of the lab I've got left over grilled chicken w/ peppers and rice that I made this weekend waiting for me. Mmmmm.
Used to eat a bunch of fast food, but I've been making sandwiches for the past few weeks. Unfortunately, I've only had PB&J for the past few days, and that gets old quickly. Need to pick up some lunchmeats tomorrow so I can start adding variation again. That's what keeps me from having McDoubles everyday, variety.
Usually I just have leftovers, or teriyaki every now and then.
this was my actual breakfast
My breakfast consists of a which chocolate mohca and a cig on the way to work.
Lunch is a few cigs in my car while listening to tunes.
And then dinner is usually something grilled or like pasta and shrimp or something.
I really like eggs.
Found a sketch of you, Cauld:
Well, I'm not sure if that's accurate. I can't tell if he's really enjoying his Pizza Rolls as much as he should. They're so delicious.
This is because I work the graveyard shift, and there isn't shit open at 3am in the morning here.
On the other hand, I make a pretty tasty turkey sandwich.
