“It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?'" - Winnie the Pooh

Today my colleague LF and I took lunch at one of my favorite chain spots, Seasons 52.  Seasons 52 touts a seasonally inspired menu on which no item has more than 475 calories.  I had the mediterranean gyro flatbread:


Essentially an open-faced gyro, the lamb was nicely cooked and the flatbread fresh but crisp.  My only complaint would be that the tsatsiki sauce fell a little flat (no pun intended).

LF had the grilled sesame chicken skewers.



I snagged a bite of the chicken and the teriyaki sauce was quite tasty.  To finish we indulged in a carrot cake each off the mini dessert tray (afterall our lunches were under 475 calories):


For a lunch time dessert the mini size of this cream-cheese-frosting-layered deliciousness was just perfect - any more than four or five bites and I would have been asleep at my desk for the rest of the afternoon.

If you're in the mood for a slightly more healthy spin on the typical chain, I'd definitely recommend Seasons 52 (I also hear they have great deals on bar snacks at happy hour).
