Lunchbox definitely is worthy of cheating on your diet!

For what it's worth, a cheeseburger can be a perfectly acceptable part of a balanced diet, as long as you skip the fries and soda.

You mentioned you like sweet potato fries, which I believe to be wrong, so I don't think I can be any further help to you.

Lunchbox Labratory is a marvel. A Seattle treasure. of course, you can only eat there about once every 6 months, it'as just too much information for your body and mind to process... And what a backstory!

You might want to plan on Lunchbox being your only meal of the day.

This seems like a set up. This was a softball question. Obviously LL is the correct answer. I mean, right down to sweet potato fries.

I think these two just swindled a couple gift cards from The Stranger. Nicely played.

Hmm. This may be a food violation. I believe hamburger or ground beef must be cooked to an internal of at least 155 degrees for fifteen seconds. Washington State Department of Health link:

@2:

That may be so, but since I've been on my diet I've eaten very little red meat, and the couple of times I've had ground beef, and pretty high-quality at that, I've found it very uncomfortable to digest. So, regrettably, no LL for me for a while :(

@5:

When I've eaten there, it's been my only meal for a couple of days.

#8 - I understand, everyone's body/reason for diet/etc. is different.

I've been only been to LL twice, and I while I appreciate what they're doing there and hope they keep their fans happy for years to come, it wouldn't satisfy my craving for a burger. In my opinion, they cross the line from burger familiarity into some weird meat-sandwich fancy zone.

@8,

That's why I skip the milkshake. They do have beef alternatives, although I can't speak to how good they are.
