Welcome Surprises

There are few surprises that I enjoy more than getting Jimmy John’s sub and discovering that the bread was warm and just out of the oven. I already consider Jimmy John’s as my number one sub (an honor it just barely won over Potbelly’s*), but to add warm crusty bread to the equation just blows the competition out of the water.

We tried figure out the best time to get warm bread at Jimmy John’s in college, but never really got there. Unless we went there right as it opened, we almost never get the warm loaves and that was impossible because of class. (What? I went to class. Seriously, I did.)

Anyway, I was fortunate enough to get a warm french loaf today. Add that to the beautiful weather and my boss being out sick today, and you’ve got the makings of a perfect work day.

So here’s to you Jimmy John’s! If only I could decipher your warm, doughy mysteries, everyday would be as good as today.

* Now, for the ultimate sandwich one would need to combine the bread from Jimmy John’s, the recipe for a Wreck from Potbelly’s using Jimmy John’s meat, and a splash of Sbarro’s marinara sauce. Add curly fries from Arby’s and a vanilla coke from Steak ‘N Shake and you have the perfect storm of fast food meals.
