Blimpies today with Nick. The Wednesday $4.99 footlong Ham 'n Cheese is a deal tough to beat. I like that Blimpie's has added more variety to their breads, cheeses and condiments. I even scored some Wasabie Gourmaise. Not sure if I could taste it with all the other crap I pile on there but is was still fun to say it. There was no line, the waitstaff was friendly and took pride in crafting my sandwich. I like that. I gotta give 'em an 8. Not bad for three dudes!
Cascade's Sports Grill - Solid Burger. Fries are at best a 6 outta 10, I dunno, maybe it was the ketchup. Water sucked. That $5 lunch menu is great bargin considering the amount of food you get. The fact that they had Sportscenter going on two big screens is always a plus. By far the highlight of the experience was the glassed-in model of Spartan Stadium. BTW, what's with the lanscaped pond near the front door? I'll give the waitstaff a 6 as well. Well for what I've seen in GR so far, I'll bump that up to a 7. I'll go back.

AJ Grinder's again today. The Deli Sandwich blows. Just a little meat on wheat bread - very dry. The broccoli salad made me sick. AJ Grinder's can now be found on the Black-list until further notice. I really gotta find some better places.
