Togo's - Pastrami Sandwich

Tacographics hadn't been to Togo's before, but was hungry in a shopping area and wanted a sandwich.

Luckily Togo's has daily specials, so it made it easier to decide on the Pastrami (it was on a Monday).

I got the 6 inch with lettuce, mustard, and tomato on wheat.

I'll have to say, it was a good sandwich.  It was thinly shredded pastrami with a good blend of toppings.  You know when you eat pastrami you're bound to have bites of fatty meat that are awful, with this sandwich I only had two.
 
Overall, it kicked Subway's Pastrami sub's ass, and was cheaper (at $4).

McDonald's Chicken Sandwiches DOUBLE REVIEW

Hadn't stepped in a McDonald's in years, but hey - you give me a buy one get one free sandwich coupon and I'll buy your food - this goes out to any restaurant representative reading this, you want me to buy your food GIVE ME COUPONS, AND NONE OF THAT HAVING TO BUY A DRINK WEAK SHIT. I'M NOT BUYIN' THAT.

Onto the sandwiches.  I got a crispy and grilled version of the ranch club (I think it was called) with no ranch.  The crispy fillet was generic white meat chicken breast.  Not bad but nothing great, at least it's white meat.  The ingredients were surprisingly fresh, I just took off the lettuce though because I've never understood leafy textures in a sandwich and never will.  Yeah it makes things look nice, but food is there to be eaten YOU KNOW.

 I've also not understood bacon on a fried sandwich, but hey, it was solid.  Thin and crispy and not greasy. The swiss was real and worked well with the bacon.  The honey wheat bun containing everything added a sweetness to the sandwich.  Overall a lot of flavors and textures working together to equate to a good sandwich.  Definitely inferior to Chick Fil-A.

The grilled version was the same ingredients but with a moderately juicy "homestyle" marinaded grilled chicken breast. It was slightly lemony but more sweet than sour and a hint of pepper.  This would go great with some fries, maybe next time.
