My Go-To Food Spots
10
items My rotation of food spots, from quick healthy bowls to sit-down dinners. As a software engineer who meal-preps during the week, I know good food when I taste it. Everything here has earned a repeat visit.

Healthy & Fast
Quick spots that don't sacrifice quality. My go-tos when I want something healthy without the wait.
CAVA is my healthy fast-casual go-to. The bowls are actually filling, the ingredients taste fresh, and I can get in and out fast between work. My usual: grain bowl with chicken, all the toppings.
CAVA
Sweetgreen is my salad upgrade. The ingredients taste premium and the app makes ordering fast. I get the Harvest Bowl when I'm trying to eat clean. Pricey but worth it.
Sweetgreen
Chipotle is the reliable burrito bowl. I get the chicken bowl with extra rice when I'm bulking, or the salad when I'm cutting. Consistent, fast, and the app skips the line.
Chipotle Mexican Grill
ON Gold Standard is my protein powder. Mixes well, tastes good, and the price per serving is solid. I do a scoop with milk after lifting. Double Rich Chocolate is the flavor.
Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey Protein
RXBARs are my grab-and-go protein. Simple ingredients, no junk, and they actually taste good. Chocolate Sea Salt is my favorite. I keep a box in my desk drawer.
Shop All Protein Bars
Sit-Down Favorites
Restaurants worth the time. Where I go for dinners with friends or when I want a real meal.
Panera is my soup-and-sandwich comfort spot. The broccoli cheddar in a bread bowl is elite, and their app has good rewards. I go when I want something warm and filling without the fast-food guilt.
Panera Bread
Five Guys is the burger joint that does it right. The fries are endless, the burgers are juicy, and the peanuts while you wait are a nice touch. My order: bacon cheeseburger all the way with Cajun fries.
Five Guys
Domino's is my pizza night default. The app makes ordering stupid easy, and the stuffed cheesy bread is elite. My order: medium pepperoni, extra cheese, thin crust.
Domino's Pizza
Coffee & Treats
Cafes and sweet spots. For work sessions, post-run refuels, or just because.
Starbucks is my work-from-cafe default. The app lets me order ahead and skip the line, and I know exactly what I'm getting. My order: iced coffee with oat milk, no sugar. Basic but reliable.
Starbucks Coffee Company
Krispy Kreme when the Hot Light is on. There's nothing like a fresh glazed donut. I don't get them often, but when I do, it's worth it. The app tells you when they're hot.
