Ryan met me at work and we walked a block or so to Jimmy John’s, possibly my favorite sandwich chain.
Today I opted for the Bootlegger Club… a turkey and roast beef “unwich” (aka a sandwich with lettuce in place of the bread) with all the veggies and avocado spread.
It was delicious and really filling. I am always surprised at how filling this sandwich without bread can be, but I think the double portion of meat and the avocado spread really help make it a more substantial meal.
Ryan ordered a beach club sandwich on 7-grain bread.
“#12 Beach Club: Fresh baked turkey breast, provolone cheese, avocado spread, sliced cucumber, sprouts, lettuce, tomato, and mayo! (It’s the real deal, and it ain’t even California.)”
JJ’s really knows how to make amazing bread. I ate a few of Ryan’s crust scraps and enjoyed the fresh, doughy goodness.
Wanna know what else I like about Jimmy John’s? The fact that they cannot seem to let go of the holiday season either…
This weekend I am making a promise to myself to actually get around to taking down the holiday decorations.
Is it weird that I’m still plugging in my Christmas tree every night?
How long do you wait before you take down holiday decorations?
Kelly says
I love Jimmy Johns! So good!
That is funny that you are still plugging in your Christmas lights. I actually took my stuff down the day after Christmas. Does that make me a scrooge? Actually I took everything down early because we left for the beach the next day and I didn’t want to do it when we got back…but usually I wait until after New Year’s to pack everything away.

I’ve never tried the unwich before. Actually I never knew it existed until a few months ago. It looks delicious. I’ll have to try it soon!
