Jimmy John's Vito Italiano is the bomb! And their barbecue potato chips are one of a kind. There was a time that I could eat their sandwiches everyday, but then their delivery service quality diminished and now I only eat them 3 times a year. They ...
This a great place for Dessert, but if there's a particular item you want, then get there early. Towards the evening, they let the stock run down (and try to use all their inventory), and then you can only pick what is available. And sometimes that dess ...
