I have lived and worked in many cities in California, and everywhere I go I find a sandwich place. I can't always find a good one, but I can generally find one that is good enough. I am a big fan of good sandwiches.
Of all those sandwich joints in all those cities in California, there is only one that I still miss. I think about it at least a few times a year, the memory sweetened by the pink colored lenses of nostalgia, the taste hyperbolized by these past 13 years of longing. Every time I think about them I decide, "I'm going to go back there one day."
If, for some reason I can't imagine, you find yourself passing through the small, tucked away community of Alamo, CA, I highly recommend the sourdough roll for your choice of bread. It is their sourdough roll that I've crave the most. Man, I hope it hasn't changed. You can never go home again, you know.
I cannot testify to the quality of the Walnut Creek location, or their sourdough roll. I assume, since it is a chain, it is all the same. But you know what happens when you assume.
p.s. still not my tweets. the torch is running out for you, twitter gadget...
