There's no sign on the building, but everyone seems to know about this place. When we stopped to get sandwiches before Mary's soccer game, there was a line of people out the door. Not a big menu  -- two kinds of sandwiches, strawberry shortcake, cookies, and a pie -- but what they had was flying off the shelf.  

At the soccer game, word spread among the other parents about our picnic fare. One of the moms even asked if we could please show her husband our sandwich. "He's heard all about them, but has never actually seen one," she explained. Poor guy. He is probably a hotshot lawyer or a Fortune 500 executive, but she made it sound like he's been living under a rock.
