I went to The Bread Company for dinner last night, and after sitting down, getting water and finishing the bread basket, I ordered a sandwich, only to be told that sandwiches were “closed” for the evening.
Closed? It was 6:30.
They serve cold sandwiches at lunch and hot sandwiches at dinner (usually), but last night they didn’t let me order either. The latter is displayed prominently on their evening menu — which is only used on evenings since you order off the chalkboard during the day — and regardless that they take up about 1/4 of the entree space on it, they’re now unavailable for ordering at dinnertime. The waitress also didn’t tell us until we ordered that there was a sandwich embargo occurring, as though it would be blasphemous to order something other than the Lamb Filet or a blob of Fettuccine Alfredo.
So, riddle me this: If you only have hot sandwiches on your dinner menu, and your dinner menu is only used at dinner time, then why can’t I order a hot sandwich off of the dinner menu at dinner time? And don’t make me look like an idiot for ordering one too, Bread Co. — your only other options are a slab of meat, a tiny salad, pasta or pizza. You know who will feed me a nice big sammy for dinner? Seven Saints, my new replacement for your anti-food-between-bread establishment.
