Mmmmm...Burger

The business park where I work is a desolate food area, with only two cafeteria-style diners in two of the towers.  There's a tower down the street that has a Tim Horton's, but it's not really worth the 10 minute walk just to go to a Timmy's.  If you want to eat out otherwise, you need to get in your car and drive.  And if you take your car and drive, you better be going somewhere better than the two cafs.  And it better have parking.

There are two food "malls" within a 5-10minute drive, but both have horrendous parking situations: there is no way in hell to get a parking spot that isn't a 5 minute walk away.   You need a really damned good reason to go there.  Like you've decided to take a two hour lunch and go for dim sum or something.  

Or, in our case, you have a 20% off coupon for the burger place.

We never go to the burger place.  Aside from the crazy parking situation, there's also the issue with the wait.  It's a "gourmet burger" place and so the burgers take 5-10min to be ready to begin with, then the place is always packed with guys from the Large Hardware Company down the road, so in the end you end up spending a good half hour just waiting to get food.  There was no reason to go there except for that 20% coupon.

But man was that a tasty burger!  The fries were good, too!  The burger is a 100% naturally-raised, antibiotic-free, free-range Angus beef 4oz patty with tasty, tasty sauce, like guacamole and chipotle sauce.  Damned, it was good!  It was moist, fresh-tasting and good.  The fries were fresh-cut and brown.  

But I won't be going there again anytime soon.  Even with the 20% off coupon, it wasn't worth the 30min dent in my lunch hour.
