We’re not a cult

Hey there PAgent – Thank you so much for the link, and I’m glad you are enjoying the lunchbox. I really do think it is one of those little things that can have a bigger impact over time.

Best to you, and see ya around Twitter -

I think I've stumbled into some kind of cult. There's a Mr. Bento flickr pool. Wow.

Tinymeat, why use a bike when I can walk?

I had the same experience! A few months ago, I was in a lunch funk. My motivation to bring my lunch was going down. One reason was that I had an insulated lunch box that was just too big, I hated carrying it on the bus. I thought that buying a cute lunch set would help. I went to Uwajimaya and found a set that included a little bag with 3 good-quality, no-spill containers that fit perfectly inside. It was cute and functional. And it really did work. Having the 3 containers made it easy to pack the lunch, and I felt good about having such a cute lunch bag (I have received many compliments). Mine is similar to this, but with 3 big containers (rather than a drink container):

Yes yes the fry shack featuring signage/graphics by Grass Hut co-proprietor Justin "Scrappers" Morrison. Dieselboi I see a folding bike in your future. Ride it to work, throw it under your desk. If the weather get's nasty, hop on MAX. If you're out gettin' your beer on and, ahem, "unable" to ride home, throw it in a friends trunk and hitch a ride. Your mobile lifestyle is begging for a Brompton!

Good luck on the healthy eating. My work lunch consists of an apple, a banana, two tangelos and a golf ball-sized serving of smoked almonds. I get teased by my pizza and Subway eating co-workers, but *my* muffin top is receding. Theirs? Not so much. They kid, but they do root for me. Keep up the good work; you’ll be having Jenny Craig moments in no time!

But you are so close to the lunch carts on 12th/Hawthorne right? Isn’t there a Fry shack there?

True about the burritos and bento bowls (and brats!) but at least you have the Schnitzelwich! We’re sorely lacking a lunch cart corner on lower E. Burnside. Hmph

I once saw an item on CoolHunting that was similar to this, but 2 bowls put together to form a carrying case. Yet it was a concept, not actual production.

I’m gonna look into this. I’m getting quite tired of the offerings downtown these days. One can have only so many burritos and bento bowls.

Thanks for the recommendation.
