Great Harvest

Grreeeaaat Harvest. Mandy had come to this place years and years ago when her family came to Lexington to watch a re-enactment of the "shot heard 'round the world" (i.e. the battle of Lexington). She talked about how amazing the bread was and all the baked goods. I was really excited. And they didn't let us down.

I got one of my favorite sandwiches -- the Thanksgiving sandwich (roast turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, etc). It's hard to go wrong with that. Mandy got a turkey sandwich with cheddar and a heap of veggies. Sandwiches were excellent, bread fresh, all in all a very good experience. To finish things off we got a giant cinnamon-swirl bread:

"The bites that were good were really good." -Mandy

Unfortunately, some bites were kinda dry, too. While not a complete knockout, it was still pretty good overall.

We could definitely come back here -- but we don't have to.

Marrett Square Deli

This deli is fine, the sandwiches had a lot of meat, the pickles were tasty, the bread wasn't anything special. It definitely feels like a family run sort of place - cash only, etc. There is one bench in the store and several high tables. Nowhere to really sit and eat though.

We don't have to come back here.

(Apparently this place is closed now though, so we don't even get the chance.)

Bruegger's Bagels

This kicks off the start of our great adventure -- to eat everything that Lexington has to offer us. Although, technically at this point we didn't know what we were starting, this was the beginning, the spark of it all.

It's hard to go wrong with a bagel sandwich, and we liked Bruegger's a lot the first time we went (especially the cinnamon sugar bagels), so we decided to go back. The first time we both got hot panini's and cinnamon sugar bagel, and we were both really looking forward to cinnamon sugar bagels again. But to our dismay, there was only one left when we got there. Being the gentleman that I am, I let Mandy have it. We both ordered Bruegger's special Maple & Sausage breakfast sandwiches -- mine on a french toast bagel and Mandy's on the cinnamon sugar bagel. They both were good, but Mandy's was better (she was good enough to share a bite of her's with me). The cinnamon sugar bagels are so soft and chewy and perfect; it went perfect with the Vermont Maple cream cheese in the breakfast sandwich. A+, Bruegger's. Nice work.

We definitely have to come back here (for the cinnamon sugar bagels).
