DH came to take me to lunch to celebrate a new job in a new city (oh....this burgh girl isn't too sure about this yet...). I had heard about the Sugar Bowl from some locals and it was only a block away - I thought why not? \n\nIt is definitely retro.And pink. Very pink. Way too pink.  The only thing missing is the hair nets.  I don't think they have remodeled since opening 58 years ago and, according to DH, they haven't cleaned the men's room during that time either ;)\n\nWe didn't do dessert and maybe we should have because lunch was not anything to write back home about.  They advertised corn chowder as the soup of the day - and I was so ready for a good bowl of soup. It just wasn't happening. It was - and I am ready to bet the bank on this - a can of creamed-style corn with some diced boiled potatoes and a few sprinkles of bacon. That was it. Corn chowder? Not even close. No white sauce. No cream base. Nothing. A can of cream-style corn.\n\nNow, I am the first to admit - you can make a good quick chowder out of that can - but you need to do a little white sauce, a little butter, some seasonings. Just dumping it - no, that is not acceptable.\n\nAnd not even hot -\n\nAt $4.50 a bowl, you got less than a cup of soup as measured in any other restaurant. It was in a shallow tiny bowl, almost monkey dish size.\n\nDH order the turkey sandwich. Meh. It was turkey and bread and lettuce and mayo. No tomato.  Served with chips. Not worth the $8 price tag for sure.\n\nI ordered a side of their nut bread with cream cheese. It was okay. Not bad, not great, Ok.\n\nFor $18+ for a sandwich, a Diet, a cup of soup, and nut bread, it was not worth it at all. \n\nAll in all, not worth a lunch trip again - although the place was slowly filling up with locals (mostly older).  Maybe I will try dessert there some time but as far as food goes....these boots will keep on walking....
