Q.
Who created the sandwiches/menu.
A. A few of the
sandwiches were created by people just like you! The majority were
created by Chef Steve over a period of ten years, listening to customer's
needs and paying attention to their palettes and dietary habits.
Q.
Who bakes the bread, scones, brownies etc.
A.
We do all of that ourselves, everyday - so it will be fresh for you
come lunchtime, whether it's 7:30 a.m. or 3 p.m..
Q.
Who is Walt? (of the Walt Turkey Sandwich fame)
A. Walt is one
of our many loyal customers who wanted a special sandwich made -
just for himself, it impressed us so much we had to share it with
all of you!
Q. Who
is Char? (when we ask for a Char special - what exactly is that?)
A. Char worked
for us once. It used to be a Cindy special but Char came after.
She made the specials - extra special.
Q.
Who is Tony Sacco , is he a real person? (tbe salami, ham, provolone
sandwich)
A. Yep, he sure
is. You'll find him hovering around - but not Lunchtime, he's an
old restaurant friend who's learning to fly helicopters!
Q.
Who
is Chris (of the Crazy Chris salad fame)?
A. Chris is
a regular customer (every day!) who wanted a cross between a chicken caesar and
a mixed green salad with his own choice of dressing. It sounded yummy to us -
so we gave him the honor of having his special salad on the menu.
Q. Who
is John of John's Hodge Podge fame?
A.
John Hodges is another regular customer who never ordered from the menu
but always wanted a chef salad - as we didn't have one, we created one
for him (and shared it with you, thankyou John).
Q.
What are your normal opening hours?
A.
7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m., Monday thru Friday. If you

Q. What
is your best sandwich?
A. We're asked
this kind of question all the time, it's a matter of taste, we cater
for everyone, if you rephrase the question to "What is the best
sandwich for me, I like... (and then you explain what you feel like
eating, what kind of mood you're in) we'll be more able to answer
you.
Q.
What kind of bread is focaccia (pron. foe-kotch-ee-yah)?
A. Italian Herb
bread, flavored with basil, oregano, thyme, rosemary and garlic
(baked fresh daily, here at Lunchtime).
Q. What
can I eat if I'm on a low fat diet?
A. Just ask any
one of the servers, they'll be able to help you from the menu of
the day. Why not take a Char Special: soup (that is nutritious and
filling) to start and then a salad (ask for dressing on the side
and serve
yourself
lightly) and a bottle of water.
Q.
What kind of salad dressing do you have?
A. We always have
caesar, low-fat ranch, balsamic vinaigrette, ginger vinaigrette,
greek, honey dijon, thousand island and Italian. (All or our dressings
are either home-made or private recipe... nothing from a bottle!)
Q.
What if I have a food allergy?
A. Again, simply
ask one of us, we'll be sure to help.
Q.
What can you offer me to eat if I am a vegetarian?

and can be
made ovo-lacto free. Chef
Steve has over 15 years of experience of special needs cooking and
