Not so Lucky

Location: Lucky's Cafe, Grove Street, Worcester, MA
Meal: Lunch

I've never been to the Blue Cricket on Chandler Street in Worcester. Mom and I tried to go there on a a Monday at about 1:45. It was closed. The door was unlucked, but the sign said "Closed". At 1:45. It seemed a little early to be closing for the day, but we actually don't know if they're even open on Mondays because their hours aren't posted anywhere.

We ended up at Lucky's Cafe, because they still had a half hour left. I'd been there before and remembered it being pretty good. This time, not so good.

I had the special sandwich: 3 cheese pita melt with onions, artichoke, and tomatoes. There was way too much cheese - it was like all melted cheese, which made it hard to choke down. And they forgot the tomatoes.

Mom had the ham, cheese and asparagus wrap (lettuce, tomato) and a tea. The sandwich was way more substantial than mine, and I actually had the leftovers. It was good but I think the asaparagus was a weird touch. The bad part was the tea. The presentation was awful. It came in a tiny cup, without a saucer. It just looked awful sitting there, tea bag string hanging down to the table, a little water foam on top, since the tea hadn't steeped or been stirred yet. So with no saucer, where does the used tea bag go? I guess wrapped up in a napkin. Ick.

They did have some really beautiful photographs displayed, taken by Don Bullens in Key West.
