New Discovery

On Wednesday Pat, Xander, Mara and I went to Draper/Sandy area for a little road trip. We went to IKEA and the Sandy WalMart so Pat could get his Live Wire Mt. Dew. We have never found the Live Wire down here, so we asked to find out that you can only get it in SL County :( So whenever we go north we always stop and load up on the Dew. On our way to WalMart, we were stopped at a light, and I was looking around at the stores and saw a sign on a building that said
"Schlotzsky's"
I immediately started freaking out and pointing and saying "Holy Crap, There's a Schlotzsky's!" Pat was just as amazed as I was! You see, we loved Schlotzsky's. There used to be one on State and Center in Orem, but it's now a Panda Express. When I was pregnant with Xander I craved their sandwiches! And then out of nowhere they closed!!!! I was heartbroken. We haven't seen one since! I thought that it went to the unknown land to be room-mates with Kenny Roger's Roasters, (which I so, so, so, so miss, sometimes I feel like Kramer on Seinfeld yelling out "Kenny, Kenny").
But anyway, I am glad to report that Schlotzsky's is still around!! We had lunch there and my Turkey Original was fantastic, just as I remembered!! They didn't have Pat's favorite Sun-Dried Tomatoes Pizza anymore, but he said their BBQ Chicken pizza was really good. When we got home I went to their website to see where other locations are, and apparently there are only 2 in Utah!! Sandy and SLC. So it looks like we will be going to Sandy more often now :)
It was a very nice surprise for me and now I can't get Schlotzsky's off the brain!!

But you guys still have Krispy Kreme! Not the grocery store kind, but the hot and melt in your mouth kind. Maybe SLC and Orem need to be a little closer!

I loved schlotzskys back in the day. I used to work for my aunt at her watch store in the ZCMI mall in SLC - I would go to Schlotzskys ALOT. Way to go finding it again! Oh and the turkey original was my favorite too!

I have found that Utah County is something of it's own being and you can't find a whole lot of what the human race "craves"

HI!!! How are you doing? I found your blog and I love it! Your kids looks so great...I can't believe how old Xander is now. Time flies, huh.

And I agree..Schlotzsky's DOES rock.

I enjoyed Schlozkey's but I have to admit, I REALLY loved Kenny Rogers Roasters. Let me know if you ever find one around here.
