Also, thanks for the thread, Cal.  It reminded me of Potbelly's Sandwiches which was one of my favorite chains in the Loop.  I knew that they had opened locations in New York last year and turns out they opened one just a few blocks from my office. So excited!
Off-topic, but they worth it?  There's a Potbelly's close to the girlfriend's place in Philly, and we've been debating off and on whether or not to give it a try.
Experience bij!

Well I can't speak for everyone's tastes but me - one of my favorite chains. I think the only sandwich place I've ever been where I enjoy ordering it with everything on it.  I was excited when my hotel was near one in Philadelphia and similarly in DC.

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

A number of Chicago hot dog vendors do not even offer ketchup as a condiment while ones that do often use it as a litmus test.

That's right, bitches.

lol, that's how they tell if you're a commie fag or not.

Nobody over the age of 8 uses ketchup on a real hot dog.

Well maybe who lack taste don't use ketchup. It's one of the basic housekeeping items like bread and milk.

It is, and I am a big fan of ketchup.  It's liquid Americana. BUT IT DOESN'T BELONG ON A HOT DOG.

Sometimes you are just wrong and this is one of those occasions. I feel free to be American all over the place.

I'm not sure I understand these exclusivist stances. You can and should have more than one condiment!

By no means did i mean to imply you could have only one, just that my favorite standard is Relish and if anything else I'll use hot sauce or BBQ. I used to love Ketchup as kid, but just don't love it anymore.

Potbelly's is, in fact, awesome.  Downtown meeting attendance swells when people find out lunch is getting catered from Potbelly's.  Awesome sammiches.
