A Tasty Sandwich from Flour (ok, i can't come up with witty titles. sorry.)

Leah and i both got into work early today. so we decided to go for a quick breakfast. normally we go across the street to the brazilian place, but i had my car, so we decided to go somewhere we typically don't go. unfortunately, we didn't know where we should try, not normally having the option of a) eating breakfast, b) cooked by someone else, and c) outside of kenmore square. i said we should try flour bakery in the south end. i had read a review of them serving dinner, so why not breakfast? when we got there it was packed. but after a quick survey, leah pointed out that there were no eggs. everyone was eating pastries. so we decided to try somewhere else. luckily a woman overheard our dilemma and suggested mike's diner, just two blocks down. now, this is a not a review of mike's. cause i have no photo to accompany a review. but suffice it to say, it was definetly tasty, cheap and well worth a visit for breakfast. who knew there was a diner where the waitresses calls you honey and gives free coffee refills located on washington st, just two blocks from mass ave.

anyway, i digress. back to my sandwich. after mike's, leah suggested we go back to flour and buy sandwiches for lunch. excellent idea. she got a lamb sandwich (which hopefully she'll find the time to review) and i got a chicken sandwich with avocado and jicama. while we were at flour, we saw joanne chang, the owner. i gotta say, it's always nice to see a successful business owner with a huge staff still working away at their store. i hope i can do that some day. anyway, when we got our sandwiches, we noticed that they were kinda small for $8 sandwiches. but i suggested that they could be the greatest sandwiches ever. so off we went back to work.

ok, so now i'm on lunch break. and leah was right. the sandwich is damn small for $8. mine's pretty tasty though. the jicama adds a nice crunch and sweetness to the sandwich and the avocados (which i adore) adds moisture and another texture to the sandwich. plus the chicken is well seasoned. often when you don't add condiments ie. mustard, mayo, etc. to a sandwich, it just feels too dry and lonely. but this one doesn't need any. however the bread is a little dry along the edge. overall pretty yummy. but for $8? i think i'll save that for a breakfast at mike's.
