Between the Bread

In a rare move, I didn't bring my sandwich condo to work on Monday. But I wanted something healthy after a rather indulgent weekend. So I decided to scope out the vegetarian options at Working Girls Cafe.

In what might be called the veginator option, Working Girls lets you choose four different vegetarian toppings on any bread. I opted for sprouts, cucumber, roasted red pepper, and avocado, then realized it was lamely similar to the sandwich I eat every day. Plus, this one wasn't as well assembled as mine. But isn't it lovely to look at?

I often avoid meat sandwiches at Estela's for two reasons. One, because the sandwiches are so delicious, I always finish them even if I feel grossly full, and the meatless ones are less filling. But mostly because the veggies are just too fresh and wonderful to pass up. I usually order No. 24, the carrot, which comes with shredded carrot, dill havarti, and avocado. But last time, I got the more decadent No. 32, with the same mix of veggies but sundried tomato pesto (that orangey red spread on the bottom), cheddar, and smoked gouda. There was enough cheese on there for two more sandwiches. And yes, I ate it all.
