I would like to say a quick good word
For Le Muffin Plus in the World Exchange Plaza food court.
We went there for lunch after the Hill today and I was considering the soup and sandwich option, so I asked if they had an alternative to styrafoam bowls. The soup guy said no, so I said "let me think about this" and backed up.
While I was discussing alternatives with Cat, he called us back over.
They gave us, with *no need for us to ask further as we ordered more stuff*, a very nearly packaging-free lunch[1]: soup in ceramic coffee cups and quiche and salad on proper (fiestaware!) plates. And they were completely nice about it and treated it as a totally reasonable concern.
The food is "good for a food court": the chicken rice vegetable soup could have been spicier, Cat said the clam chowder (NE) was a bit meh, but the ham quiche and salad were "entirely decent" (me) "fab" (Cat) and the service was *definitely* impressive.
[1] the muffin had been baked with parchment linings and they only had plastic forks. I'm fine with this: parchment is readily compostable and next time I'll remember to put my knife/fork/spoon/chopstick set in my bag.
