Earl of Sandwich

Im breaking all the rules.

Im going to talk about our old friend, Thanksgiving. If you work in the retail marketing world, it is THAT holiday that you curse with a vengeance. Black Friday and Cyber Monday... I hope you stay in your graves!

You can argue its a complete faux paux, but Im not over it just yet. I know youre screaming "Christine! We're on the Christmas bandwagon now! What is this turkey you speak of? Who are these cranberries?"

Well, hold on one sec. While there is this whole love/hate relationship with me and Thanksgiving, there is one thing I sing sweet words to and am completely engulfed in at first sight. Let me tell you a little something known as the post thanksgiving sandwich. A joyous marriage of stuffing, cranberry relish, sharp cheddar, lettuce and turkey on a toasted multigrain. This sandwich is no ordinary sandwich.













It's franchise worthy where it deserves a prime spot on the Panera's menu. Make it, the 2nd Avenue Deli menu. Although... pastrami is up there, but thats a whole other story. With a side of iced tea, I was a happy woman.
