Earl of "Slow" Sandwich

I can make a good sandwich in about 10 minutes.

Earl of Sandwich takes almost a century crafting their work of sandwich art.

You get a good taste of the looming service disaster when you first enter the store. They have intelligently designed their service system into a three line waiting period.

Upon you're arrival you are instructed to walk to the opposite end of the dining room to get in line to place you're order. Estimated wait time: 5 minutes.

After you confuse the server with your order you then proceed to a line to wait to pay. Here you stand and watch the servers make the meals as you crawl along to the cash register. Estimated wait time: 10 minutes.

Congratulations, you have successfully made it through the second line. Now you can pay for your $8 sandwich. Take your receipt and order number and proceed to line three.

The third line, technically isn't a line, it's more of a waiting group of angry customers. Stand among the masses waiting for your "freshly heated sandwich" and listen closely for your order number to be called. Estimated wait time: 15 minutes.

30 minutes in the making, you now have your Earl of Sandwich. Try to find a place to sit in the dining room with only four tables.

  1. I hardly ever post stuff on the internet but the Earl of Sandwich by my House (I-10 and Dezavala) is quite efficient. you order and pay in the same register and the wait time has been about 4-5 minutes for me. I am a alwasy on the run so this is one of my top picks for quick food that is better than fast food.
