in love with slim 2

it's been my longstanding opinion that jimmy john's is quite possibly the best sandwich place in lincoln. reasons for this opinion:

a) they are fast. so fast you'll freak, technically.
b) their bread is perfect.
c) they give you free Hellman's mayo packets.
d) you pay less for a plain sandwich (i always get it plain anyways. but anywhere else, you pay the same price).
e) they deliver.
f) they have funny signs.
g) some people i know work there.
h) the roast beef is perfect.

and i hate to admit this because i just made a far-reaching statement about the general best-ness of jimmy john's. but i am not a qualified evaluator...because i've only ever had one single item from the menu. it's a Slim 2, meaning plain roast beef, on that unbelievably good bread that i could just eat plain, with mayo on the side. the slim 2 is the first jimmy john's sandwich i ever tried. and it's so good, i can't pass it up when i go. i can't believe anything else could be better. you know...if you're completely satisfied with what you've got, don't waste time trying to improve. and if i did go and get something that wasn't better than my Slim 2 with mayo packets, i'd feel like i wasted that precious opportunity to indulge. not to mention the money.

i always savor those last few morsels of the sandwich...when i am getting full but still wish i had an extra few bites. the bread is extra crispy at the ends, and i always have to smush the mayo packet to get the last few greasy blobs out, and i just want the taste to last forever. i think i get a slim 2 at least once a week. sometimes twice. you'd think i'd get sick of the slim 2, but i don't. i can't imagine not liking it.

Did you know Lizzie works there? Isn't that awesome, she might actually be my hero now... I'm also rather hungry now, gee, thanks :P

p.s. I saw you on the news... you made me laugh, good job!

I've never eaten at Jimmy John's, believe it or not. Does that make me a bad person? You make it sound like quite the treat, so maybe I'll have to try it sometime.

You need to stop putting two posts up at a time, I almost didn't see this one down here. ;)

oh nikki, i couldn't disagree with you more. so many new things to try! now, obviously, you know what you like (and don't like), but there have to be some other menu items that at least interest you a little bit. and shoot, why not try some toppings? have you ever had cucumber on a sandwich? i hadn't until a couple months ago. now i always get it on my subway sandwich (note: i go there because it's close, not because i think it's great).

that is all.

just for the record, i tried provolone on my Slim 2 last week. i ended up peeling the cheese off, because it wasn't that good. as i suspected.
