Joe Butler: My favorite local medical-oriented dining spot is KMC, hands-down —
I’ve eaten there as a patient, as a family member of a patient, and
just for fun (it’s good, it’s healthy, and it’s cheap).They cook warm
stuff to order, always have a wide selection, different daily specials,
and you can get a complete meal or a snack almost any time of the day,
plus decent free coffee ‘round the clock.
Question: How many days in your life total have you spent in a hospital?

One day per child and one day when they yanked my tonsils.
Remember tonsillectomies? When I was a kid it seemed like everyone had their tonsils removed. What was up with that?
I’ve got four kids. Nobody wanted to yank out any of their tonsils, nor do I recall any of their friends have the surgery.

Interesting sidetrack about tonsils, Cindy H. I’m in my 30s, and my parents have told me all about having their tonsils out. But I’ve still got mine, and so do my children. I think my wife may be missing hers…

Joe, I think you’ve spent too much time at KMC, to think that hospital food is actually good?
My favorite thing to do now, is to get a $5 pepperoni pizza from
Lil’ Caesars to take out.I just had one for lunch, maybe I’ll get another for dinner? ;-)

I’ve got to concur with Joe. I’ve eaten at KMC many times, some as a patient, some as a visitor, and I’ve never had anything that I didn’t like. The setting is nice, it’s quick, and the prices are fair. Granted it may not be the first place you think of when trying to figure out what to do/where to go for lunch or dinner, but it’s good stuff and healthy for ya.
