Today I finally (I have been not so patiently waiting) had the opportunity to try out Noodles & Company a great alternative to fast food or should I say a fast-casual restaurant chain with 240 locations. Honestly, it was a huge upgrade from fast food. Our meal arrived in less than 5 minutes and was piping hot and fresh! My hubby had the Mushroom Stroganoff with Braised Beef which was delish. My son had the Wisconsin Mac & Cheese with Meatballs which was ooey gooey and wonderful (I am still working on the whole veggies with him but M&C is his fav!). I opted for the seasonal (through June) Asparagus and Lemon Linguine and it was wonderful. I couldn’t finish my meal because of it’s size but that may be my own fault because I had to try the Tomato Basil Bisque which my hubby says “it has to be the star item on the menu”.
I am seriously wishing that Noodles & Company would find a location near to home since I frequently find it a challenge to find a healthy option with great veggies in our northwest area of Iowa. On the other hand I guess it gives me something to look forward to when I travel to Illinois.
I really want to give all of you the opportunity to fall in love with Noodles & Company but instead I am just going to hold a giveaway and send someone with a guest to try 2 free noodle bowls. The coupons are good through 12/2010 so if you don’t live near a location see if you are planning to be in the general area of one of the 240 before entering the contest.

I wrote this review while participating in a blog tour campaign by Mom Central on behalf of Noodles & Company and received five Noodles & Company bowl cards to facilitate my review. Mom Central also sent me a thank-you gift certificate.
I absolutely love the Wisconsin Mac and Cheese bowl! I lived near a Noodles & Company during college, it’s the best! Now I’m about 4hrs away but my sister lives near one so I’m sure we will get there soon especially if I win this!!
Thanks for the giveaway!!!
