What To Eat: Lunch

Ghee: A Little Butter For A Lot of Butter Flavor

Clarified butter adds a flavor punch to bland lunch
May 23, 2013 11:31 am

I found a trick to amplifying what I believe to be the point of using butter over oil — flavor — while cutting the amount used in half. I've been buttering things, man. Lots of things.

Which chips lie beside and inside your sandwich?
May 20, 2013 11:31 am

When we're focusing our energies at the vast and expansive in-house Food Republic What To Eat For Lunch laboratories, the topic of potato chips with regards to sandwiches is valid, always timely and never ends in tears. Here's our guide to pairing.

 

Chicken For Lunch? Go For The Thigh.

When you reheat it, it gets better. Period.
May 16, 2013 11:31 am

Today for lunch, get intimate with what I firmly believe to be the best part of the chicken (aside from deep-fried skin, obviously), don't hesitate to go to the dark side and find your perfect use for this juicy meat. 

Seriously, Cook Your Lunch On A Grill Pan

Whip up a grill-pan lunch. Here are some ideas.
May 15, 2013 11:31 am

My estimations indicate most of us do not have appropriate grilling facilities at our offices. If you do, where do you even work and are you hiring lunch-based columnists? And if you don't, break out the grill pan, bring a lunch you grilled yourself and finish up the month strong. Memorial Day is around the corner, and grillmaster = you.

Transform that plain tofu into something meatier
May 13, 2013 11:31 am

It's not always easy observing Meatless Monday, especially when your next-door neighbor, downstairs neighbor and ground-level super all appear to be frying bacon. But it's Meatless Monday, I'm powerless to cheat at this point, so I turn to the meatiest vegetarian non-meat substitute I know: baked tofu. Pull it off using today's lunch advice after the jump.

Such an option does not exist even in the best of these deli situations…unless I make a lamb roast, pack it up, bring it to the deli and slip the guy $20 to slice it on the machine. Here's what happened.

Salad For Lunch: 3 New Ways To Do Tabouli

Take the classic Middle Eastern salad for a spin
May 6, 2013 11:31 am

Tabouli is one of those dishes with a million recipes. The Middle Eastern salad screams warm weather so loudly it's genuinely hard to enjoy it in the colder months. Also, winter produce sucks, and this is a produce-heavy situation: your own ratios of finely chopped parsley and mint, diced cucumber, tomato, onions or scallions and tons of extra-virgin olive oil, fresh lemon juice, salt and pepper, plus your preferred amount of the following options. 

Our Office Location Is Absolutely Perfect For Lunch. Here's Why...

Food Republic Headquarters is well-suited to lunch
May 2, 2013 11:37 am

On our way to the office, we push past the fluorescent parka-wearing Empire State Building guys inexplicably asking us, with our headphones, sunglasses and strategic avoidance of standing-and-staring tourists, if we're going up today.
