Dinner at Starbucks isn't so bad, says food writer

Award-winning Chicago Tribune food writer Monica Eng says Starbucks "has moved firmly in to the restaurant biz" with the introduction of Bistro Boxes. She writes:

Maybe it's because we were sure these meals would taste like "healthy," last-resort fare meant to sit around in refrigerated case for days, but we were pleasantly surprised.

We especially liked the sesame noodles with their crunchy Japanese style peanuts and shockingly good baked tofu cubes. The lettuce wraps blend nubbily bits of chicken with peanut sauce and the brightness of fresh cilantro, cabbage and carrots.

She says the salumi and chipotle chicken plates "were also fine," and adds: "I hope I won't be in a position where I HAVE to eat dinner at Starbucks very often, but it's nice to know that I could--and not hate it." || Read "Starbucks offers fancy dinner and lunch entrees"
