A Potbelly sandwich consists of soft warm wheat bread, a load of meat, a little bit of cheese, and then a veritable shmear of assorted olives and peppers. The first time I went to this place, I thought, wow, that little bit of heat from the peppers is nice, a fresh take on a sandwich. But this week! Good Lord! Those peppers were hot. My lips were burning so hot after finishing that baby off it looked like I was wearing ball-buster-red lipstick. It really made my day.
Google lets me know that my readers in DC and Minnesota will have no trouble finding a location near them, but my loved ones in NYC are going to have to venture out into the greater Tri-State area. I'm not going to say its worth a 45 minute train ride, as only few things are, but, if you find yourself in the neighborhood and work up an appetite (knocking on doors, perhaps) you might find one in Philly and chow down.

I live in Brooklyn and I am going to Philly this weekend. What a coincidence. I'm going to get out the vote for all those Barack supporters who may not make it to the polls without a cheerleader.
I think that this great sandwich is just what I'll need after walking around in the cold all day.
I'll report back.
You should also have the milkshakes. They're thick and adorned with a mini cookie on the straw. (You can add a healthy twist with banana, too.) Peggy, you forgot to mention how dirt cheap Potbelly is!
Why did you tag it as Tex Mex? That's a liberal usage of the genre.
I'm going to have to speak out against Potbelly. I agree that the milkshakes are yummilicious, but I'm not a fan of the sandwiches. The bread is blah, and the spreads are overwhelming. I vote no for Potbelly.
Sorry, I didn't mean to tag this texmex. There is nothing texmex about Potbelly except that it's spicy hot!
Also, Shirley, maybe you just ordered the wrong thing there. Robin's right: at a price like that, you can afford to find something that suits you.
