Today was lunch with Liz in IV. Silvergreen’s is probably one of the more healthy options for Isla Vista, and usually house-made fresh breads mean recognizable ingredients used to baked them, which is also good. Too bad they didn’t really taste that good. The half and half option is what I got. The chicken ranch sandwich and a garden salad. And a cookie with about 6 chocolate chips in it. It cost about $8.50 after tax. I also got my sandwich on the baguette and I will never do that again. Perhaps the honey wheat bread next time. The baguette was huge, and hard. Ultimately I deconstructed my sandwich and ate it open-faced as that was the only way I could wedge it in my mouth. And even then I kept getting the chicken salad on my nose, like a naughty puppy. Glad to have provided the amusement to people watching through the window. Liz got a half and half chicken, mozzarella and basil sandwich, on a more chewable bread. Lucky.
I can’t give much loyalty to a place that looks and acts like a chain restaurant, and uses vibrating buzzers to announce that your food is ready. The place operates like a well-oiled machine, and I felt like I was in a cafeteria. But when they cater lunches for bigger events, I think they are quite decent. Big salad bowls and small sandwiches that you can eat just one of for a sensible lunch, or grab a few more if you’re still hungry.

It’s another lunch with McMarko. He’s lived out on the east coast and misses a good Philly Cheesesteak. So while the lambs are on summer break, we cruised out to IV for some gut busting sandwiches. We got their sandwich specials, called the Mambo Combo, which is any sandwich, with fries and a drink for $9.
The sandwich comes bundled up in paper, like a cute little basket packet. Then you open it up and surprise! Sammie! The staff are super extra nice! They will offer to refill the drinks for you. Thanks, guys. Past entry: McMaster’s Steak and Hoagie
Lunch with McMarko, and we have Indian food. Because his wife hates Indian food so he has no opportunity to eat it with her. He got a combination plate, I got a rice bowl and samosa.
I have little verbage for this. It was good. Better than many other IV options. And a good price, ranging from $6-8. Naan Stop |
