Lunch and Dinner | Entrees | Lunch Specials

Lunch Specials are the 2 "special" entrees available per day, but only on that specific weekday. 

Monday

All American Burger

It's basically a bacon cheeseburger with fries. Unfortunately, by the time it got to your room, the fries will likely be soggy, and buns soggy as well. They at least...tried.  Personal rating: 😐 (neutral face)

Cilantro Pesto Pasta (vegetarian)

Pretty tasty, the cilantro pesto pasta. I am not sure I tasted the cilantro, just that it's savory and not bland pasta (like penne w/ meat sauce). I had to use some of that to help eat that vegetable medley on the plate, LOL.  Personal rating: 👍 (thumb up)

Pork Chili Verde (and veg medley)
Tuesday

Turkey Avocado Flatbread

Unfortunately, never ended up trying this one (the day I was going to order, they wheeled me off to surgery)

Pork Chili Verde

Looks pretty darn good, by the photo (see right) ,and it's decently savory. Great to accompany that vegtable medley (that's completely tasteless), good chunks of meat and peppers and the sauce is thick. Highly recommend this one. 

Personal rating: 👏 (clapping hands)


Wednesday


Chicken Salad Plate

Never ordered this one either. Was in liquid diet for previous and that day, LOL. 

Rigatoni Pasta with Meatballs

The tomato sauce is decent and there's barely enough to make sure all the pasta get some, but you may need a bit of that soup, or even the Caesar dressing if you think plain pasta is bland.

Personal rating: 😐 (neutral face)

Rigatoni and meatballs w/ sauce

Thursday

BBQ Chicken and Cheese Sandwich

Somehow I ended up never trying this one either. 

Tilapia with Lemon Butter

Well, it's hard to mess up a simple white fish like tilapia. And indeed, this doesn't disappoint.  There's enough flavor here to enhance the fish, and make the veg medley edible. 

Personal rating: 👍(thumb up)

Tilapia w/ Lemon Butter // Vegetable Medley

Friday

Tuna Salad Plate

Well, that plate in the middle is it. And yes, that little tub is all the tuna you get. It is pretty savory tuna though, good for all those bland veggies you get on the plate.  

Personal rating: 😐 (neutral face)

Tuna Salad Plate

Beef Goulash

I could have sworn I tasted this, but I have no visual record of it, so I guess I didn't. 


Saturday

Tomato and Cheese Flatbread 

Somehow I keep missing this one. 

Turkey Chili

Pretty tasty, great for washing down bland veggies and tastely mashed potatoes. 

Personal rating: 👍(thumb up)

Turkey Chili // Cauliflower+mashed potatoes+brown gravy


Sunday 

Cheese tortellini with spaghetti sauce

Kept missing this one too. 


Chicken Marsala

Frankly, what I got more closely resembles "chicken with mushrooms" (roasted sweet potatoes next to the chicken).  It's kinda tasty, but I'm pretty sure chicken marsala doesn't look like that...

Personal rating: 😐 (neutral face)

Welcome

Welcome to Picky Patient's Guide to Sutter Health Patient Menu!  Click on "Start Here" in the menu bar if you are not sure where to go.  As a former patient, I took some photos, and decided to rate the individual items.  This is meant to be a totally un-serious look at "hospital food", and no infringement or disparagement was intended. I understand it's difficult to make meals for hundreds, if not thousands of people at a time. And the ratings are a bit of... tongue-in-cheek. Any way, on with the guide.
