Soup Alternatives

[Christopher Browne]

We were puzzling over possibilities that might be preferable to Salad King
for pre-meeting dining, and, as the set of possibilities seemed not quite
sufficient, it seemed like a good idea to draw ideas from a somewhat
broader audience.

The difficulty that was observed was that the room was rather noisy, but it
wouldn't do to jump to something else and leap from bad to worse, hence
here's a set of constraints that seem needful:

a) Needs to be "near enough" to the meeting, basically within a 15 minute
walk.  (Think about how far Pho88 was from the U(T) engineering building...)

b) Not too expensive (Barberian's is doubtless good, but they haven't got
an entree below $25!)

c) Quiet enough

d) Open until 7:30 (it appears there are restaurants targeting lunch crowd
that will be closed for dinner)

e) Reasonable range of food that notably has offerings to vegetarians
better than "oh, there's a slice of tomato on the burger"

f) Can cope with 20 people arriving in a bit of a disorganized flurry,
without massive formal reservation

The only thing leaping to mind was the Pickle Barrel @ Atrium, which wasn't
exciting the group too much.

When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the
question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
