I’m a person that can appreciate good, clean design. That’s the first thing that drew my eye towards Hannah’s Bretzel with their bright red awnings off of LaSalle. I was on my way back from a small victory so I needed to celebrate, and with the slogan "the Über sandwich makers" how could I resist?
You may ask about the victory in which I'm referring to so I'll quickly share that I passed my Illinois driving test without even studying, acing the vision test and walking away with my new license while shedding a tearful goodbye to my last bit of legal Texas identity which recorded a weight my Illinois ID will probably never see.
I walked in alone and overheard the group in line behind me chattering about their sandwich of choice. One recommended the Italian Parma + Goat Cheese which reaffirmed my sandwich choice when she said she had never even tried anything else. The formula includes baby arugula, rosemary infused asparagus and white truffle oil on an organic bretzel baguette. I don't quite know how to describe the bretzel and give it justice, but just know it has a history of its own. I was initially sold with the truffle oil because I can pretty much drink that stuff and at 463 calories for a fairly decent sized sandwich it seemed like a no-brainer.

And not only does your sandwich taste good, it's also good for you and the environment. My particular sandwich was 47.1% organic, whatever that means. But, I can appreciate a restaurant that wants to serve "fast" food in a healthy manner. You have your choice of healthy sides, fresh soups, salads and good for you desserts with an array of every kind of chocolate bar you can imagine from all over the world.
I sat watching the city life pass me by as I savored every single bite of that sandwich. It was amazing: fresh, full of flavor and the perfect prize for my successful feat. I look forward to making my way down the menu.
