What I Ate in a Week: Laura’s Food Diary

Here at Grubhub, our employees are pretty obsessed with food. Every day, weā€™re making sure

delicious food finds its way to your doorā€¦.and to ours. Say what? Correct, we too order from Grubhub (so meta).

With our ā€œWhat I Ate in a Weekā€ series, youā€™ll get a sneak peek into the lives of actual ā€”Ā never not hungryĀ ā€” Grubhub team members. A nice benefit that happens to come with our jobs is what we call ā€œmealperksā€ ā€” our weekly Grubhub stipend. Clearly, weā€™re using this to get the best bites in town each and every week.

On deck, we have:Ā Laura, a Senior Manager on our Brand Marketing Team. Get the lowdown on her delivery highlights of the week and top ordering hacks.

Letā€™s meet Laura.

Iā€™m a Chicago nativeā€“and yes, I love deep dishā€“now living in Lincoln Park with my husband. Some of my hobbies include: breaking a sweat at workout classes, trying new restaurants, binge-watching documentaries, traveling everywhere, and dogsā€“even though we donā€™t have one…yet. (wink)

And here are my top delivery eats from last weekā€¦

Mexi-Cali Salad from Mixed Greens

Call me creature of habit, but on Mondays, I really like to kickstart my week eating healthy. Itā€™s also a day I donā€™t want to think/make decisions, so the express reorder feature is my best friend when it comes to ordering my favorite salad from Mixed Greens. With one quick tap of a buttonā€“the Mexi-Cali Salad (chock full of corn, beans, white cheddar cheese and tomatoes) is soon at my office. Pro tip: always put in the instructions ā€˜chop & mixā€™ for an optimal salad eating experience.

Healthy Bowl from Protein Bar & Kitchen

Iā€™m a big fan of Protein Bar & Kitchen for several reasons. For starters, with their loyalty program (thatā€™s already integrated into the Grubhub app), whenever you spend $88, you get $8 toward your next order! Also, the spinach bowl there is so healthy, yet satisfying…since itā€™s packed with chicken and quinoa. Iā€™ll place an order for pickup when Iā€™m leaving the gym and just swing by and grab it off the shelf when Iā€™m done!

Egg Sandwich from Kanela Breakfast Club

I love preordering an egg sandwich and orange juice from Kanela Breakfast Club to round out my morning weekend routine. I time it so it arrives at my door right after my morning workout. Itā€™s the best thing to come home to after running a few miles on the treadmillā€“especially when youā€™re too tired to cook and have reached the end of your groceries for the week!

Tune in next week for the latest edition of ā€œWhat I Ate in a Week.ā€ Will it make you hungry? Probably...but, we can help with that.
