Great Harvest = Great Morning
Last Thursday, Heather and I met for our lunch at Great Harvest Bread Company in Snider Plaza for sandwiches. Forget Central Market and Sam's Club for samples, Great Harvest offers enough samples for a week's worth of carbohydrates, albeit mostly complex. I had the Spicy Turkey Panini: turkey, spicy mustard, pepperjack, lto on wheat. When I return, because I will be returning for my daily bread (Dakota whole grain), I will not order that sandwich again. The spicy mustard overpowered the entire sandwich and the employees struggle to do anything in a timely matter, thus the act of making a panini turns a 2 minute task into 5-7 minute chore.
Anywho, the counter displays at least 10 styles of bread to be sampled, varying from strawberry shortcake bread (glazed and super sweet) to the hearty whole grain varieties like my dear Dakota and the popular High Five (five grams of fiber per slice, that's what I'm talking about!). Beside the breads is a display box of sweet treats and breakfast goods, a "fruit pull apart" muffin looked heavenly and not nearly as healthy as it sounds. The sweet (still moving at a glacial pace) ladies behind the counter are grandmotherly and by grandmotherly, I mean they try to stuff your mouth with wonderful, free food and will act like their feelings are hurt when you deny them the pleasure.
The point of all this rambling- brevity is not my strong point- is to tell you that you must go to Great Harvest Bread Company and buy a loaf of their "Dakota" bread. You will not be disappointed. It is 100% whole grain with poppy and sunflower seeds, sweetened with just a touch of honey. It is perfect plain or toasted as I had it this morning, with a smidge of fresh blackberry jam from the Anderson Family Farms.
I will close with a detailed diagram of a wheat kernel.
Everyone should familiarize themselves with wheat kernels and their wholesome goodness!
"glacial" is spot on. we walk to GH from the law school often, but not so much for lunch anymore because my hummus sando takes about 20mins to make. it's a good, but messy, sandwich. (they don't skimp on the hummus). now we just stick to samples and some of their coffee. do make sure to try the fruit pull apart muffin though, it's ridiculously heavenly and not at all healthy. in other words, perfection.
