I found sandwiches!!!! (In my head I said that in my Oprah voice so you should too for extra impact.) I'm just realizing that blog title would be a lot more impactful had Christmas not been just a few days ago. Oh well.
This is a fairly long story but at the end you'll be so glad you read it that you might want to read it twice. Probably not. I went to Jason's Deli once a long time ago when I was in Wichita taking one of my CPA exams (Have I mentioned I'm a CPA yet? If not, I meant to. It sounds really important, doesn't it?). Anyways, I believe that day I had a roast beef sandwich and it was good. Then I was in Wichita last Wednesday waiting for my sister and husband so we could check out the new IMAX theater (which is pretty cool, by the way) and had to eat lunch by myself. I didn't want to go to On the Border or someplace like that and eat alone so I thought I'd go back to Jason's Deli because they have soup. And I don't feel dumb eating there by myself. I had the broccoli and cheese soup and it was delicious. My husband and I went back to Wichita yesterday to do a little more shopping so we decided to go to Jason's again because it seemed like a light lunch and we ate a crazy amount of food over the past few days. So he got an Amy's Turkey-O and I had the biggest baked potato you've ever seen. It's the Potato Au Broc. It comes smothered in the broccoli and cheese soup and it's delicious, too. But it's a meal for like five people really. You should definitely get the smaller portion.
Review time: I've now been to Jason's Deli twice in one week. That's really important here. So Kent had finished his lunch and I was still barely 1/10 of the way into mine. He was looking over my should and he says, "Why didn't you get a sandwich?" In my head I'm thinking he's kind of dumb. I can't eat sandwiches, right? I don't know where he's been but we've gone over this before. And then he says, "They have gluten free sandwich bread." WHAT????? Yeah, there's a sign on the counter that says in big letters "GLUTEN FREE SANDWICH BREAD". I have now walked right past it twice in the last week and my husband once. That's three trips past the sign. You can tell we really pay attention.
So I'm curious about this, of course, so I go to the counter and read the sign. It says that they bake their gluten free bread in the same kitchen with their other bread so it's not suitable for people with Celiac Disease. However, people who have slight allergies, intolerances, or choose to eat gluten free for other health reasons can eat it. Then I asked the girl behind the counter and she says you can get ANY SANDWICH on gluten free bread. I about died right there! Sandwiches! I felt like this: (in your best Oprah voice) You get a sandwich! And you get a sandwich! And you get a sandwich! Everybody gets a sandwich!
Now I'm dying to go back so I can actually get a sandwich. See Subway, it works. You should really look into it.
Here's a link to the Jason's Deli website if you'd like to scope out the options. I recommend it. But they should really advertise this gluten free option more. Like a TV commercial during my favorite show. And apparently you should address me directly or I won't get it. They have a blog on the website. The posting from November 23, 2010 is about the new gluten free options with a link to a special gluten free menu.
In other news, I'm going to post another blog at some point about my Christmas eating experience. I know you're on the edges of your seats for that!
