worth the wait.

so when deciding where to go for dinner tonight all i knew is that i wanted a really good sandwich with fresh ingredients. lauren told me it was my choice so when i thought sandwich.. automatically panera came to mind. but i wanted to eat at a local restaurant that is only found in lynchburg because i've been here for 4 years and haven't really tried many places. i decided on either magnolia foods or the fat tuna.. and then lauren suggested the new location of montana plains bakery. we ultimately decided on montana plains.. but when we got there we found out it closed in like 20 minutes.. not enough time to chat! so then we had to decide between the fat tuna and V&T cafe (i passed it on the way and remembered i had yet to try it). but we finally settled on trying the fat tuna. by the time we got there we were really hungry.. but like i said--worth the wait! i had the most perfect sandwich. just what i wanted! i had the 'made my way' sandwich. i chose the pita (but it was more of a flat bread) with turkey and i got to add all the veggies i wanted. and when i can do that.. i go all out and that alone makes me more than satisfied with a restaurant. it doesn't take much to please me.. just load up the veggies! and when i say that sandwich was loaded i mean it had.. romaine lettuce (so much better than iceberg!) onions, tomatoes, black olives, cucumbers, green peppers, alfalfa sprouts (yum!) and brown spicy mustard. did i mention i got feta cheese? feta cheese is basically the love of my life.

as if that wasn't enough to satisfy even the hungriest of girls. it came with a pickle (talk about yum!) and veggie chips! i grew up on veggie chips because my grandmother would always have them when i visited.. they remind me of my childhood and they are so de-lish! bonus: so much healthier than regular potato chips!

needless to say.. i'm glad i finally tried this place before i left.. and as i said before.. it was worth the wait and the trek around lynchburg.
