Falafill

Those darn veggies!! Always trying to convert folks to their meat-free lifestyle! Sure, I experimented with hummus once or twice. It was college! But, to be walking down the street and to be *forced* into eating at a restaurant pushing a meatless agenda on the public...why, it's just shameful!!

Don't get me wrong. I have nothing against a vegetarian meal like you would get at Falafill. I mean, who hasn't thought about a warm pita filled with falafel, hummus and fava bean spread? And, I mean, could you *blame* me for wanting to fill it with dill, garlic *and* jalapeno sauces? The beets and pickled turnips just sorta *fell* in there. I..I...didn't know what I was doing. I thought it was chicken...or bacon. Yeah, I thought it was bacon.

And the taste...oh man...the taste. It was so familiar, yet so different. Full of flavor and completely filling, I don't know how to describe it. Ok, ok, I do! It was delicious! Is that what you want to hear?? I admit it. I ate some dill and I liked it. The taste of its veggie chapstick... Hey! What I eat behind closed doors is my own business.

A change to Falafill's to-go protocol will change this review from a 3.5 to something higher. I had to carefully balance my chick pea secret in some sort of french bread bag. Luckily, just a little sauce fell out. Additionally, the value meal doesn't add much of a value. $10+ for a sandwich, fries and drink doesn't strike me as a great deal. Fix this. And, if anyone asks, I didn't *really* like it. Weeell, maybe a little. Don't tell anyone, ok?
