New job equals new lunch opportunities!
And an income, a routine and a sense of security, but let's focus on the important parts.
After spending the last few years in Canary Wharf, the lunch options have been pre wrapped sandwiches, salty soups and some soggy salads. Fish'n'chips on a Friday if you're lucky.
With a close proximity to both Shoreditch and City of London - lack of alternative is no more. I nevertheless spent the first month getting sandwiches from Pret and salads from Eat. Time to put my money where my mouth wasn't.
Outside of Truman Brewery there is this little square - parking lot is probably more accurate - where they have some of the cutest little food trucks with organic and inventive foods of different variety, obviously with some Shoreditch quirkiness added to the mix.
Once dragging some non suspecting colleagues away from the banker digs, I based my decision between the food trucks solely on the funniest name. The top two in that contest were without a doubt Mother Clucker and Meat Porn - chicken wings or pulled brisket. In all fairness, Mother Clucker is probably wittier, but a white blouse and chicken wings wasn't going to be a great combo...
My lunch buddy who did try the chicken wings though said that they were the best wings she's had outside of the States - and she as a Texan should know!
I was very happy with my brisket though, beats ready made sandwiches by miles.
New lunch hang out - found!
