Restaurant Review: William’s Gourmet Kitchen

William's Gourmet Kitchen on Urbanspoon

William’s Gourmet Kitchen is one of the best lunch spots in the Durham area! Since I was busy with studying and other weekend things, I was able to grab take-out from William’s. Here is my fantastic lunch!

The Garden Salad with mixed greens, romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, onions, cucumbers, shredded cheddar and slivered almonds, enhanced by Grilled Chicken with Greek Dressing on the side.

The grilled chicken was seasoned perfectly and the almonds complimented the salad quite nicely! All of the veggies tasted very fresh! I had two treat options.. sweet potato fries with brown sugar butter dipping sauce ..

and The Red Velvet Cupcake

 

…  I had both! I had the fries and a bite of the cupcake, nibbling on the rest of the cupcake after work that night was the ultimate treat! Another tidbit for “being healthier” is to never deprive yourself of treats! Try to do something for balance- eat half, exercise more, add extra veggies, etc.  I believe that a well rounded diet filled with lean proteins and lots of fruits and vegetables is what makes treats like this PHENOMENAL CUPCAKE a real “treat”!

It was a fantastic lunch at a fantastic price (~ $7) as are all of my meals from William’s Gourmet Kitchen so far! Thank you wgk!
