Are Utica’s Downtown Lunch Options Better Than Albany?

I saw a statement posed on Twitter that made me wonder what you think of it. Is Utica's lunch scene greater than that of Albany's?

While I'm not too familiar with with Albany has for some downtown dining outside of Bomber's Burrito Bar, does our state capitol fail that badly when it comes to the midday meal?

Utica certainly does have some great downtown destinations for lunch. Roso's, The Dev, Gerber's Tavern, Pizza Classic and the restaurant row on Bank Place all come to mind for me. And then I got to thinking some more and remembered the roast pork at Joel's Spanish Food on Oneida Square and El Barajo and the Jamaican place on Steuben...I could keep going. I really could.
