| - Having just moved back to Phoenix, I was glad to see that they opened a Potbelly on Camelback. I have loved Potbelly since I was a kid, when my family and I used to frequent the original sandwich shop on Lincoln Avenue in Chicago. While I think they are still working on establishing the menu (I asked for their chicken and cheddar sandwich and they weren't serving that yet), this Potbelly succeeds in meeting the same high standards as all of the Potbelly locations I have enjoyed back in my hometown. I ordered their turkey and Swiss cheese, with lettuce, tomatoes, oil, and Italian seasonings, and I was relieved that they serve Chicago-style giardinara (hot peppers) at this location, too, and so I added extra hot peppers, all on toasted whole grain bread. It was delicious. I also used to order their meatball sub with hot peppers, which is also very good. I didn't get the chance to see if they serve breakfast, but Potbelly's breakfast sandwiches are great. When I used to fly a lot, I would order their bacon, egg, and cheddar breakfast sub at Midway Airport, with mushrooms and hot peppers, and it was always excellent. Anyway, I am glad to have another piece of Chicago right here in the Valley!
