| - It took them that long to open its door. I remember seeing just the Lee's Sandwiches sign in ages every time my family wanted some Pho instead of the casinos' buffets.
Finally, we had a chance to step in its big huge doors last weekend. They make sure you get in the store or what, they don't have just one entrance, but two over sized double door entrances. Feng Shui?
It's a WOW. I am used to the small sandwiches shops, or even other Lee's I've been to, not as huge, nice, clean, quality constructions as this one. They don't have the typical tables and tables next to each other, whatever you say, the next table can hear you all. It's spaciest but private feeling. I guess 'cause of the expensive glass dividers? Very good for hang out. That's probably why they have the yogurt station. The yogurt station wasn't ready when I was there. So I can't tell about the yogurt. They will have their Grand Opening on March 25, 2011. Hopefully, they can get the supply from Pinkberry.
We ordered the typical Lee's, iced milked coffee, combination sandwiches, they have on their bags, baked every 30 minutes. Their bread really fresh and baked within 30 minutes. They must make their biscotti from their over 30 minutes bread then. How in the world they throw out all their over 30 minutes breads. My kids love their biscotti. I ordered their chicken wings, and chicken nuggets for my kids to bring back to the hotel for after swimming snacks. Also you must try their green coconut waffles. Very gooood. I've been to other Lee's and bought the ready packed food. For those who want some French taste for a lazy morning, or a late night, try the French pate on the selves if you can afford a little bit more than the Lee's fast food prices Pate. My cousins from France used to sneak in her suitcase and through customs for me the pates, can't bring meat products to USA. Heat the pate a little bit on a skillet, with fresh baked bread, and a little bit of the Maggi soy sauce (they also sale the very good kind Maggi there). Out of this world. Don't forget the tin boxed cookies also on the shelves, make a very good gift. Very fine cookies. I don't like the Frentel Butter on the shelves though. It's a wanna be Beure Bretel from Normandy, France, but nothing like Bretel.
Well, at least now we can bring quality food back to the hotel and munch. My kids love the snacks after swimming and I don't have to pay the ridiculous hotel prices.
