Thanksgiving food is my favorite. It’s warm and comforting and generally full of carbs and it makes me happy. Also, one of the best parts about Thanksgiving is eating Thankgiving leftovers.
This week Aroma Café has a Thanksgiving leftovers inspired lunch special entitled: Not Your Mama’s Leftover sandwich, and it’s amazing. It’s a “turkey sandwich with housemade bacon stuffing, brie cheese, and cranberry compote.” Then it’s toasted, with a healthy amount of butter (you can see evidence of that in this photo).
It is surely not low calorie, but it’s okay to live a little. The flavors meld nicely, and the meltiness of the brie makes it the perfect addition to the traditional items on the sandwich.
The special is $10.95 for a substantial sandwich, a side, and a drink.
Pro tips: Best to wear stretchy pants if you’re going to consume this, and probably also best to clear your afternoon of all responsibilities because frankly, this one has the potential to be a day-ender.
