16 Moments of Mediocrity in Albany

Ah, the lunch special. This can go one of two ways; you know, that great restaurant that you always have a great dinner at is doing lunches and it is great too OR mediocrity...

Well our tale of the lunch special is a tale of mediocrity. Nonnas in Albany, pioneer of the Albany lunch special is our star today with their $16 lunch special with 16 dishes to choose from served to you in 16 minutes or it is free. Catchy? Yes. Special? No

A chicken calzone in 16 minutes? Well apparently it can be done and served with a glass of a mediocre dry white. What a lunch. So how do you do this? Pre-prepare to death and this inevatably brings something that feels a bit dry and tired.

Our lunch also came with a forgettable pasta dish. We forgot the details but we do remember it was mediocre.

So what would we do in Albany next time? Go somewhere else.  Sorry Nonnas.
