I'm going to let you in on a little secret: I quietly live for Thursdays at OB when Chicken Piccata is the lunch special. For me, it's either Piccata or nada! I bet some of you feel the same way. Imagine tender, breaded chicken paired with a zesty lemon-caper sauce, complemented by savory mushrooms, green onions, and roasted red peppers.
