I work down Whisman near Central, so not far away. First of all, the fast food Chinese place at Whisman and Middlefield has gone downhill but upprice -- continue further to the one at Rengstorff next to Burrito Real (which is now the place that is owned by the guy who used to own La Costena). I find Burrito Real good but rather pricey and prefer Savor Mexico at San Antonio and California.

Not too impressed with the other places at Whisman and Middlefield either. Some like the Japanese place, but it seems to me that they don't replace their cooking oil often enough. Roger's Deli has been around for decades and I ask, "why?"

Takeout bentos at the Japanese Market at Grant and El Camino (behind Burger King) are a popular option around here. I have never tried the Indian place buried in the same strip mall.

Everyone has their favorite sandwich chain -- mine is neither Quizno's nor (heaven forbid!) Subway, but Togo's, with the nearest store on El Camino.

Report back on new places you find.
