Side salad along with sandwiches and quiche at Lakeside St. Coffee House.
Sandwich or quiche with side salad
Lakeside St. Coffee House, 402 W. Lakeside St.
Look for the curried chicken salad on a fresh roll, or choose from two daily quiches. The salad side is a generous helping of mixed greens, fresh carrots and a house vinaigrette.
Caribbean carrot soup
Mermaid Cafe, 1929 Winnebago St.
Long a house favorite, this soup could convert even carrot haters with its notes of coconut (from coconut milk), fresh ginger and curry spices.
Hot sammie and a wealth of sides
Prairie Cafe & Bakery, 3109 Pheasant Branch Rd., Middleton
Your choice of nine hot sandwiches — we love the Prairie Cheesesteak. We also love the many choices of accompanying sides: potato salad, black bean-corn-pepper salad, chips, fresh fruit or yogurt.
