I had a few minutes to update my blog and wanted to tell you about a great place near my office in Kendall Square. I cannot believe I overlooked this place and their business model for 5 years while working at Akamai. For those who have not visited Kendall Sq or worked in Kendall Sq, aka the "Dude Ranch", there really is a shortage of good lunch places especially if you just want to grab a quick bite....
Zigo's tagline is "Good food for busy people" and I love it. No food court for this guy!
I have only been here a handful of times since starting my new job, but I am super impressed with the fact that they deliver on what they promise. In addition to being good, it is also pretty healthy which is something I find myself looking for especially since I am slowly being brainwashed by my girlfriend.
Yesterday I tried the Sesame Chicken over Soba noodles, added some soy sauce and was in heaven. I probably should have heated it up, but even cold, it was delicious. The food just seems so fresh.
As described on their website: Sesame crusted chicken, sliced and served over glass noodles, with napa cabbage, snow peas, broccoli, scallions, carrots, red peppers and a spicy Thai peanut sauce.
It seems Zigo really does well catering to local students from M.I.T and techies as they have 2 locations within Kendall Square. Speaking of catering, they also do that.
Ok, well as the tagline says, busy people......back to work now. If your not busy, get out there and try Zigo. http://www.zigo.biz/index.htm
