Give an image makeover to your eat-at-the-desk luncheon. For a change, walk out of your cubicle, take a cab and reach Nungambakkam. And if you happen to be in the area then just stroll down the road and hop into New Yorker to be welcomed by friendly waiters. The place has a certain warmth about it that makes you feel comfortable, from the moment you ensconce yourself in the cosy red sofa. And oh, did we mention, it’s going to be sizzlers for lunch.

Order a glass of iced-tea to while away time as you await your order. Mexican sizzler, onions rings, American corn cheese balls, and baked jacket potatoes are the favourites. Don’t forget to sample their sizzling brownie sundae, a heavenly experience in itself. As you walk away, you are sure this place will be seeing more of you.

Another funky restaurant that is renowned for its sizzlers is Tangerine (Alwarpet). Hidden in a narrow lane, with a green coloured board and a bright yellow light glowing in the dark, this place is hard to miss. Their wide array of sizzlers, both vegetarian and non-vegetarian, is sure to cheer you up after a long and tiring day.

Dig into their crab cakes or spicy vegetable soup. Watch the steam rise from your sea food sizzler, served with boiled vegetables, and a jacket potato with sour cream. If sizzlers are not what you fancy, order the fish n’ chips instead. For dessert lovers, there is Death by Chocolate and lemon cheesecake.

Burp.
