2 strikes and you're out

I've been going to Jury's in Lincoln Square for years now. I've taken my parents there, gone with co-workers, friends, etc. The past two times have really bit. They claim to fame is there burger, which is good, but why does everything else on the menu have to be so mediocre, or worse yet, just downright awful? I'm the adventurous type. I tend to order something new from everywhere I go, searching for that perfect meal I guess, or just wanting variety all the time. The risk is, 66% of the time, I'm disappointed in what I order. But yet I still search. It's not that I'm complaining. I've had many many wonderful, memorable meals in my 39 years of life. (My earliest food memory: eating cream of wheat in the dining room in a tupperware plastic bowl, and my mom put a pat of butter in it...warm and cozy!). Back to Jury's. I ordered the beef au jus sandwich. Mostly cuz I like to say "au jus". It was awful! The bread was stale (my BIGGEST pet peeve), there was a slab of swiss cheese thrown on that wasn't melted and the beef was not tasty at all. I could barely eat it.

I hate to bash a place, but come on. We all work too hard to put our money towards disappointing dining experiences. Sorry Jury's...you lost me...at least for a while.

Some might say "Laura...just order the burger there...you know it's gonna deliver". I'd rather have the adventure.
