| - Kneader's has been on my radar for awhile, and today was the day I finally got to experience it for myself. My understanding is that it is based in Utah and is somehow affiliated with the Mormon church, which is all I needed to know; I'm not Mormon, but some of my best friends are and I trust their "brand'. Basically, if it has to do with food and Mormons are involved, I'm there!
So today I met my (Mormon) friend at Kneader's for lunch. Here's the problem: I had my wisdom teeth extracted less than a week ago, and today is day two of trying to eat solid foods. Because of this, I order the soup and sandwich combo, and got a chicken salad sandwich which comes on a big, beautiful, fresh croissant; otherwise I never, ever would have ordered chicken salad (boring! bland!) when there are so many amazing choices.
Much to my surprise, this was THE tastiest chicken salad sandwich I have had in my LIFE. Honestly. The turkey dumpling soup was also delish and tasted homemade. It also came with a little side salad, but my jaw was not up to trying to deal with that.
I could go on and on, but I have a large selection of assorted pastries on my kitchen counter to sample. So far, I can tell you the chocolate dome cake is moist and extremely chocolatey and meant to be shared, and the eclair is top notch filled with plenty of creamy, not-tasting-like-it-was-from-a-powder-mix, custard.
I will be back, with my friends and family in tow. You should go, too, and you don't even need a Mormon friend to get in.
