Lunch Is Where It’s At

Lunch time is always an important time at a WordCamp. It’s time to take a break and process what you’ve heard so far. It’s time to meet new people, re-affirm friendships, and discuss why San Diego is the greatest.

Lunch is included with your ticket on Saturday. It will be provided by The Wild Thyme Company and will be a boxed lunch.

Each lunch will include fresh fruit, kettle chips, dessert, and an all important mint. Choices will be:

  • Black Forest Ham Sandwich with Spanish manchego cheese, caramelized onions, arugula, & roasted garlic aioli
  • Lemon-Thyme Chicken Sandwich with organic lettuce, tomatoes, havarti cheese, & sun dried tomato aioli (there will be a Gluten Free version of this too)
  • Roast Turkey Sandwich with applewood-smoked bacon, lettuce, roma tomatoes, & Dijonaisse
  • Thai Chicken Wrap with soy-ginger chicken, carrots, cucumber, jasmine rice, lettuce, & peanut sauce
  • Grilled Vegetable Wrap with seasonal grilled vegetables, arugula, & white bean hummus (This is the Vegan, Vegetarian, Dairy-free and Lactose-free option)

However, if that doesn’t get you excited there are plenty of other options nearby. Within 5 minutes walk, there are places like these:
