Lunch Goodies

Top Ten Tasty sandwiches (aka samwich)

Ah, lunch, the sweet (and savory) science. It was not until I became a member of the full time work world that I found out just how important lunch is to my everyday life. Lunch divides my day, and keeps me sane. Lunch cheers me up when I'm down, and keeps me warm on a sub-freezing afternoon. Lunch has some many key components, it's hard to single out just one. But I have chosen the samwich as the subject of this, the first food CSS blog.

*My definition of a samwich is as fellows, two pieces of bread and some kind of filler in the middle. Under this set of rules burgers are indeed samwiches, while hotdogs and tacos are not.

10.) Peanut butter - HOME - I love peanut butter, there I admitted. I may even love it too much, to the point of having a problem. Oh and jelly is for biscuits, NOT samwiches.

9.) Grilled Cheese - HOME - melted cheese and a toasted piece of buttered bread. This is the samwich that will save you in the winter months when you work out of a 100 year old house.

8.) Turkey and Ham (toasted) - Subway - All I can say is, 5 dolla, 5 dolla foot long. I know their turkey is boring, but that's a lot of samwich.

7.) Fried Baloney - HOME - Fry some baloney and throw it on some bread. A southern favorite that will not disappoint.

6.) Stack Attack - Wendy's - This is my value selection, if you want some lunch without a lot of hassle, then this is your choice. It's actually a lot of meat for 99¢ (that's what she said). Wendy's is the best fast food burger out there. There are others that come close, but you'll end up spending more money.

5.) Spicy Chicken - Wendy's - What can I say, I like Wendy's. While their chicken can be hot or miss, the spicy is always right on. This samwich will also help you out in the winter time, but at much higher price.

Now here is where the list starts to split hairs, one can not go wrong with any of the top four choices.

4.) Roast Beef - Jersey Mike's - num num num are the words that come to mind when thinking about this samwich. Jersey Mike's makes their own bread and roasts their own beef. Throw some pipping hot roast on some bread, still warm form the oven, and you have one winning samwich. BTW you have to get it's mike's way, at least once.

3.) Turkey Bravo - Panera - This one holds a special place in my heart. This samwich brought me out of the dark ages. Before I tasted one of these, I thought all turkey samwiches had to be boring. Oh and this was my lunch spot pre CSS.

2.) Original Chicken samwich - Chick fil a - this is one unbelievable samwich, so light and crispy. The brightest star of this samwich is the chicken, but don't overlook the bun. Their bread is high quality, which it needs to be because this is the most simple samwich on this list.
1.) Bacon Cheese Burger - 5 Guys - The best burger I have ever paid for. It was everything one would want or need in a burger. It was juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. They even put the cheese on the burger while it is on the grill. The toppings are so fresh too. All around, it's so hard to find faults with this burger.

So, there we have it, my first CSS blog. I'm so happy, I'm going to put my head on my desk for the rest of lunch break.
