The Daily Press, a Monroe lunch spot brief review

Much like New York and Paris, Monroe likes to stay on the forefront of the ever changing culinary scene. And keeping with the current theme of converting failed gas stations into Haute dining destinations, The Mecca has rolled out its own version. The Daily Press is located in the old Chevron station at the corner of Forsythe extension and US HWY 165. Next to the failed Albersons. This joint here:

The Daily Press also offers a Soup De jour. Soup De Jour is apparently Spanish for Tomater and Basil soup, which is one of my favorites. I had that:

If you ever find yourself in North Monroe around lunch time, don't be a moran and pull into the Smitty's Philly Grease steak place. Ease up the road a piece and wrap your self in gas(pun intended)tronomic bliss at the Daily Press.
