No More Yellow Mustard

Honestly, why is it that some eating establishments don't understand the benefits of spicy brown or Dijon mustard? Today I decided to give DC Hot a second try. My first foray into the local precursor to Potbelly Sandwiches was quite enjoyable so I figured, Why not? (Sidenote: I must admit that while I am adverse to chain establishments, I really have a weakness for the toasty goodness that Potbelly turns out. And they're always so friendly...Not the norm in DC)

The San Francisco turkey sandwich I ordered was not bad. But as I watched the toppings being added, I cringed when I saw the sandwich maker squirt a heavy glob of yellow mustard onto the sandwich. At this point, I felt it too late to intervene. I ate the sandwich and tried to enjoy it, but honestly the yellow mustard overwhelmed all of the other flavors.

Even now, hours later, I can smell it on my hands. I, personally, believe there is no place for yellow mustard besides, possibly, on a hot dog. But even then, brown mustard is just so much more enjoyable and let's face it, doesn't cost more.

So a note to eating establishments: No More Yellow Mustard!
