Very rarely do I visit a new town and eat at the same place twice. But the Brown Bag is no ordinary place.
It's sandwich nirvana.
Top quality, homemade ingredients combine to elevate an ordinary cobb salad to something else entirely -- roasted chicken, homemade blue cheese dressing, bacon, fresh tomatoes, lettuce -- I have never eaten a salad this satisfying.
The Dagwood. The Missie. These sandwiches are truly spectacular.
And don't miss the row of "free condiments" on the counter. The pickles are out of this world.
Seriously. It's 8 a.m. on a Tuesday morning and I just HAVE to log onto yelp to write about the pickles? This place is that good.
And then there's Harlene, who owns the place and takes your order. So much personality. I feel like I need to go back just to say "hi."
If you're anywhere near Monticello, stop by the Brown Bag!
