What’s your default food-court purchase?

Into all lives, a few food-court visits must fall. Food courts are not exactly at the forefront of culinary science — the pizza cones at Oak Park Mall notwithstanding — so your choices are going to be fairly similar regardless of the mall or office park you find yourself in.

There will be Chinese, dirty pizza, Mexican, a sandwich counter, a Cinnabon, some sort of juice or salad bar, a pretzel stand, and an ice-cream or yogurt shop. Now whether you succumb to the first toothpick sample or circle the food court several times hoping for new options, you’ve got to eat. What’s your go-to option when it comes to buying lunch at the food court?
