Finding Excitement in the Unexpected


The Sandwich Line. As we make our rounds about the dining hall, this line may seem slightly less than exciting at first glance. Thus, as we often times do, we may feel prompted to forgo this oh-so-familiar option for something more exciting- the Japanese style line, or the Bar-B-Q line perhaps. However, next time you’re making laps about the dining hall, look again. The Sandwich Line may have far more to offer than you’d expect.

The truth is, this line gives you so many options, you can make your meal as exciting as you want. The only problem you may encounter is having to deal with too many choices. The process starts out with your choice of bread, ranging from spinach and tomato tortilla wraps, to ciabatta bread or sourdough. Next you choose your meat and cheese, with options like simple sliced turkey as well as grilled chicken, and cheese as familiar as American to cheese that is completely foreign, such as feta. As I feel that I have perfected the perfect sandwich, I rarely drift away from my personal favorite. I start off with a spinach wrap, filled with grilled chicken and bacon, and topped with swiss and feta cheese. At this point, you have the option to toast your sandwich, which takes a bit longer, but I always highly recommend doing so. It can make the difference between an average sandwich a great sandwich. Once your meal comes out of the toaster, you can add a multitude of vegetables to it, like romaine and spinach, or corn and tomatoes. Personally I forgo this step, finding that vegetables rarely enhance the sandwich to my personal liking. And finally, you have a number of dressings to top you sandwich off with, my very favorite being the pesto mayonnaise. Regardless of the choices you make, you meal is sure to be anything but boring, leaving you far from being disappointed.
