Is it a BLT or a BLTC?

Yesterday dad, my two little brothers, and I drove to Whole Foods Market for dinner. My dad saw a new “Eastern Market Café” section, and so I decided to try it out.

I ordered a BLT sandwich (Bacon-Lettuce-Tomato). Many other people were already at the counter, and I saw some woman carry away a delicious-looking sandwich. The chef, who was obviously a new guy – you could tell from his uniform – told the woman the sandwich was called a “Reuben”. I decided to let dad “test drive” the “Reuben”. We waited for a while, and then the chef handed me a sandwich. It looked good, but it had no bacon, lettuce or tomato. When I asked, he gave me bacon and apologized.

Once dad got his Reuben, he said he wanted some lettuce and tomato. The chef acknowledged it and went to work on some other sandwich. He must have forgotten – my dad asked him again after a while – and he apologized again and gave us the lettuce and tomato. Then, because he thought he had made us late (he looked like he was about to cry), he decided to give us a plate of free fries. Just then, another customer asked about his Grilled Chicken Club. I suddenly felt strange – my BLT had chicken in it… The chef recognized that my sandwich was actually a Grilled Chicken Club and a BLT combined, but let me have it anyway.

My experience at Whole Foods Market was pretty good – I got some fries, a good sandwich, and a great bottle of juice, but the bad part is that I couldn’t finish the last ½ slice of bread and the last 1½ of the chicken pieces (there were three). I loved the huge sandwich!!!
