#63 Expensive Sandwiches
February 11, 2008 by clander
Having already covered breakfast and dinner options, the question remains: what do white people like to do for lunch? The answer: expensive sandwiches.
In most cities, if you need to find a cache of white people get yourself to a sandwich shop. Generally these places aren’t open for dinner, have a panini press and are famous for their bread. There are always vegan options and the selection of meats and cheese are strongly European.
The waiters and waitresses in these places are highly coveted by the white population. They are not quite as cool as bartenders, not quite as snobby as coffee shop workers, but still artsy, young, and more than likely to be a musician/artist/writer (since they only have to work from 11-3).
If you are in the position where you need to take a white person to lunch for business or pleasure, saying “I know a great sandwich shop,” will always bring out a smile. The white person will then tell you about the great sandwich shop in the town where they went to college and how they had a crush on a waiter, or that there was some special sandwich that they always ordered. This will put the person in a good mood.
It’s important to note that this type of restaurant is best for business or friendship situations as it is very neutral and does not carry connotations like Sushi or Breakfast.
These sandwiches generally start at $8.99. Remember that whenever a white person says they wants to go to a sandwich shop you are looking at at least a $15 outlay after tip and drink, $20 if the place has a good selection of microbrews.
Also note: white people will wait up to 40 minutes for a good sandwich.

ok ok ok ok…
get this….
i used to work at panera. ya’ll white ppl is some cranky bitches. put too much sause or if you don’t ask how exactly they want their sandwich and make it wrong, ya’ll thro a shit fit! i got cursed out on practically a daily basis. can’t you guys just come up and ask me to make it again with out the attitude?
you really should. know why? becuz bitches! me and my whitey white co-workers will spit in yo food!! HAHA!! Mmmm Good sandwich huh?
Anybody dumb enough to be hostile toward a food preparer, deserves it. Just don’t do it to me. I keep my mouth shut. And throw my change into the jar.
To the topic in general- it’s disheartening to hear about $8 sandwiches. Thank God for Potbelly (no plug intended)… I’ll stick with their somewhat undersized $4.20 sandwiches.
Uh Yeah, What *IS* with this? Don’t get me wrong! I have been guilty of eating a *haute/uberchic/upscale sandwich or two* myself! The sandwiches CAN taste good and tastes good but for $20 dollars a sandwich it should! I guess I just find it “a little funny” that white people have an uncanny ability way of making things that are normally simple and cheap complex and expensive! It is not necessarily a bad or good thing- it’s just an observation!
You’re right. One word: coffee. lol.
What really upsets me is that if you want a mug of tea with milk… VITAL to life in Ireland… in an American chain, its a ‘chai latte’.
give me a break! and its not an americano… its coffee, black, nothing fancy nothing strange. get over it!
It has to be a great business idea, making a full day’s profit in 4 hours. White people are definitely suckers for this stuff. It costs about $0.07 more to make a ‘fancy’ ham sandwich, but getting $9 must be sweet! The shop owners must close at 3 so they can 3 full hours to finally get their laughter under control before they get home for dinner.
[...] I heard that they served great overpriced sandwiches, and we all know white people love those, see this post from my fave blog for further information on the [...]
Based on where I work, white people love to spend all morning talking about the newest soup or sandwich at Panera, PotBellies. etc.
And then they go there.
And they come back from lunch to talk more about how great that soup or sandwich was.
And it’s rinse, lather, repeat. By the end of the week, they’ve spent 200 dollars on lunchfood.
I’m a white girl, and I won’t pay anything less than $100 for a burger.
I’m a 53, no, I just turned 54, a proud, black American and I’d like to share a story with you white Americans. My husband and I were visiting Luray, VA about a yr after 9/11. We stopped at a Pizza Hut for an early lunch and it was completely empty except for 3 or 4 white waitresses sitting at a table. One of them took us to a booth where one of the seats had a hole in it so large, an elephant could have fallen into it. Mind you, the place is completely empty. I looked at the waitress and without a word, I walked out. Mind you, during my earlier yrs, I would have called this hussy every name in the book but now that I’m a born-again Christian, my attitude as well as my actions have changed. Now tell me, what kind of service do you think we would have gotten? A tip anyone?
One last thought: American ain’t ready for no black President, period. When will the color of one’s skin not matter in America? IF our REAL ENEMIES ever succeed in dropping that nuclear bomb on this great country, the color of one’s skin will finally not matter ’cause we wont’ have any. May God bless us all during these last days and times.
Well, as I always say, “Assholes come in all colors and both genders.”
And I’m happy to adopt Dr. King’s maxim that people should be judged not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Conservatives don’t dislike Obama because he’s black; we dislike Obama because he’s a Marxist. And possibly the Antichrist.
I think you’re probably old enough to remember that all the great segregationists were democrats. Al Gore’s father, for example.
If John McCain has the good sense to pick say, Michael Steele or Condi Rice as a running mate, I’m sure you would be pleasantly surprised to discover just how willing conservatives are to embrace a qualified black candidate.
Apparently my idea of what ‘born again Christian’ means is completely off target….
Wanna be even whiter? Go to a creperie and get prosciutto and Emmental Swiss cheese and baby spinach in a crepe. (Oh, man, is that good.) There will be a nice long line too.
There are some new sandwich places in nyc that fit into this category. In my humble opinion, they aren’t even all that good.

Nothing better than roast beef with American cheese, real mayo, on sourdough French roll. or mortadella, salami, with jack cheese on sourdough French, or chicken salad on sourdough French. Anything on sourdough French is good I guess.
