This Happy Lady often wonders what other people are eating for lunch. Last night's leftovers, quick bodega bites, or a fave mid-day restaurant? So to quell my curiosity, I'll be asking various folks in the design and food world what they're having for lunch on any given day. It's a visual food interview of sorts paying homage to an often neglected, under-appreciated mid-day meal. Enjoy!
Who Christiane Lemieux - Founder, DwellStudio
Where At my desk in the office (always) and usually during a meeting.
Time 2:30pm...today was a crazy day, back to back meetings until now.
What's a typical lunch for you? Always ordering in...the great thing about working in New York {in Soho for that matter} is you can have anything. We all rotate between salads from Balthazar, Mexican from La Esquina {fish tacos pictured here and yes....they were delicious!}, Vietnamese from Viet Café or Olives {the local sandwich place}. Lunch is my favorite meal of the day because I don't have to cook it, and I can get whatever I crave! I also put hot sauce on everything. We have a whole fridge full at the office.What's your dream/ideal lunch? If work/time/geographical constraints weren't a factor, a leisurely lunch with my family at Le Comptoir du Relais in Paris on sunny June afternoon. Or, in New York I would choose a late lunch at Balthazar. It's so chic. And at lunch, it really is people from the neighborhood so it's not crazy.
Dessert with lunch? Sadly no - I am still working on the baby weight...but if I were to have dessert, I'd definitely have the amazing chocolate chip cookies from Birdbath!

This is such a fun series - I completely relate to her answers and can't wait to read more! Lunch is indeed quite underappreciated, yet I'd be lost without the daily, warp speed chow down at my desk.
