Saw a man walk into the restaurant today that looked much like Morgan Freeman.  After resisting the urge to ask him to say "march of the penguins" I had the idea of starting a wall of fame at the shop.  Granted I may never have any actual celebrities walk in but, I'd love to take pictures of some of my most loyal customers.  Cause you're all the real celebrities in my book.  I think it would be a real great opportunity to build some community spirit.  So the next time you're in, look to getting your picture taken, and be a part of the sandwicheries wall of fame!
Strange thing happened at the restaurant today.  Some guy giggled when I asked him "How do you like your buns"?  After fondly remember many great immature jokes from High School, the encounter made me beg the question "what foods form the best innuendos" and "Can you sexualize food"?  Yes, I've seen many commercials, especially with Hardys, where they blatantly show sexy women or men eating food, but i'm talking about the food itself.  Maybe I'm just spit-balling here, but if the food looks good enough to sell itself, then they'd be much easier to market.  To be fair, we've already sexualized everything else in ads, why not food?  Just as long as it doesn't look so good that people start making out with my sandwiches....that's just weird.
Everyone loves puns right? Being so close to Halloween would anyone be angry if I changed the name of the restaurant to Simon's Sand"WITCH"erie. You roll your eyes now, but lets see what happens after I break a record for sandwich sales.  Although the more I think, the more I realize that it would probably cost me a fortune in printing cost for new banners.  Gotta at least give me credit for trying at least.  Gotta think outside the box when thinking of promotions.  Happy Halloween!!
Seeing as it's the month of October, every single food item has to have pumpkin in it in some form.  Unfortunately I can't think of any way to properly integrate that into my sandwiches, but how about outside the sandwich?   I may or may not be experimenting with a pumpkin flavored bun right now.  So only time will tell if it ever makes it to the menu, but until then I guess you'll just have to enjoy the aroma of pumpkin spice anywhere you're in the vicinity of a restaurant.  Just thank goodness we carve pumpkins instead of grapefruit, no one wants to eat those under any circumstances. Bleh.
Glad to finally have a blog going for Simon's Sandwicherie.  Come here every week for updates on the shop, and whatever else I'm compeled to talk about in the vast and amazing world of making sandwiches.   I'll even make it toasted, if you like it like that.
