Check yourself before you Wreck yourself

Usually (read: always) I’m all about free food, especially when the free food is sandwiches
Today, however, I discovered I must say “NO” to a particular free food sammie: The Wreck from Potbelly’s

As previously discussed, I prefer the sandwiches from local, mom and pop type establishments, but not really a food snob, I’ll dabble in the chain gang of mass produced munchables

I’ve never had an issue with Potbelly’s before, but then again, I usually (twice to be exact) order the chicken salad salad so I guess I never knew much about their sandwiches

My workplace had me order a variety of sandwiches for training that’s taking place today, and as a perk, I get first dibs at the sandwich tray.
*Note: I think dibs is less perk and more due to my love of sandwiches
I chose THE WRECK

It sounded very unhealthy and very delicious with its promise of salami, roast beef, turkey, ham, and Swiss tucked into warm wheat bread

Doesn’t that make your mouth water?
Tell your mouth to knock it off

My sandwich came as a few layers of meat slapped on a piece of bread with entirely too much mayo. I couldn’t even taste the rainbow of meats; the mayo, lettuce, and tomato were surprisingly overwhelming.

The only bite I vaguely remember tasting was that of the Swiss.
That was nice.

I’m not going to let one bad tomato kill the vine, but I probably won’t be going to Potbelly’s for a long time… unless there’s another free food day, because even if it sucks, it’s still free food.
