Which Wich?

So many delicious sandwiches to choose from! Today we made our whole line – Lemon Zest Hummus, Pesto Tofu, Curried Tuna salad – and they all turned out GREAT!! I was more than happy with them!

IMG_0025 (640x427)

Tofu in the oven!

IMG_0021 (640x427)

Plus PIKALS! [Pickle, I know, but ever since learning about the Mayan site Tikal, which is pronounced “tick-al” but I like to pronounce “tickle,” I now like to spell pickles, pikals!]

IMG_0019 (640x427)

IMG_0023 (640x427)

The crew took our sandwich orders today – I ordered Monicello’s Garden: Lemony Hummus, Kalamata olives, peppers, cucumbers, lettuce, tomato, mustard. YUM! The hummus turned out great!

IMG_0028 (640x427)

We also taste-tested the Pesto + Tofu and were also really pleased with how it turned out. I can’t wait to eat a sandwich for lunch everyday! (Or nearly every day..

Smile this !
)

We’ve got things to do and menus to hang!

    Lemon hummus sounds excellent – that’s my choice! [Mostly because I’m allergic to soy, so no tofu for me.] 🙁

    Sounds like everything’s going really well with the bread-making and sandwich-building. I would love to open a cafe or tea house one day, and I can use your posts as a reference for ideas.

    It sounds like you have an excellent sandwich menu! I went to my local Great Harvest today for lunch and got the California Cobb sandwich on Honey Whole Wheat. It was SO good. I also bought a loaf of raisin cinnamon chip…so excited! I think the Carmel Indiana Great Harvest should modify their sandwich menu to includes some of your variations!

    I had my first ever Great Harvest sandwich today… before following your blog, I had no idea that they even made sandwiches (maybe all of them don’t? This is my third city with a GH, and I never knew!!). Turkey on light wheat with roasted peppers and onions from GH Colorado Springs… my only qualm would be the onions. Lovely lunch!

    Hey Kath! I am loving the progress and updates with the bakery! That Monicello’s Garden sandwich looks right up my alley. I remember reading once that you usually eat vegetarian meals when eating at restaurants unless you know that the meat offered is organic/natural/grass-fed, etc. and have actually kind of adopted that (most of the time anyways!). I’m sure you’ve mentioned this before – but what kind of meats does Great Harvest offer for sandwiches?

    Reply
    • KathEats says

      May 24, 2011 at 3:46 pm

      We have searched and researched for a local pasture-fed deli meat in our area, but we haven’t been able to find one. We’re opening with all-natural meats, although I realize all-natural does not mean much. It will be a work in progress. We ARE using pasture eggs in our sweets!!!! I am very very excited about that. And local produce.

    Kath,
    What are all of the baskets for (lunch in a basket for customers dining on site)?
    I know you were delivering complimentary goodie baskets to local businesses, but when I saw them at the front counter I thought maybe they were there to be handy for regular serving. Just kind of curious.

      They’re for gift baskets and winning hearts deliveries – but we use them for other handy things around the store too like display
