Do you remember what lunch was like before March 2020? It was about exploring restaurants near the office or sharing food with colleagues in a buzzing cafeteria. Then, the world changed. Like many of you, I swapped lively office chats for quiet Zoom calls and started teleworking full-time.
Suddenly, lunch felt a little lonely. I realized I couldn’t be the only one missing that midday connection. So, in July 2020, I launched this site to spice things up. What started as a side dish of recipes has grown into a full-course meal of stories, flavors, and management tips.
For me, lunch has always been about community. Growing up in Chomedey, Laval, Saturdays were special. My friend Stephen and I would catch a movie at the Loew’s and then treat ourselves to the classics: Woolworth’s Lunch Counter, the Eaton’s Ninth Floor, or our favorite—Murray’s Restaurant.
That nostalgia drives The Lunch Pro today. I want to bring that “diner happiness” into your home kitchen.
Lunch isn’t one-size-fits-all. I created this site to help three specific types of lunchers:
The Remote Worker: You need simple at-home prep hacks and mindfulness tips to refresh your routine without leaving the house.
The Social Diner: You are looking for crowd-pleasing recipes for family dinners, backyard picnics, and potlucks.
Nostalgic favorites and comfort bowls with a healthier twist. Clear steps, make-ahead tips, and easy swaps.
Not forgetting, DESSERTS!
Strategies to reclaim your break, manage hybrid teams during lunch hours, and build morale in a remote world.
Honest takes on bento boxes, insulated bags, and kitchen tools and appliances so you know exactly what’s worth your money.
