Quizno's Subs in Glenview: DELICIOUS, friendly and clean!!!

Quizno's in Glenview is a great place to have a sandwich, chips, cookie and drink that will satisfy any hungry person. This location is owned by Anil and Nita Patel who have alot of experience in the food business and previously owned a convenient store. Quizno's offers everything from salads, sandwiches, soups, top line chips, cookies and outstanding soft drinks. This store is in a great location,  is very clean and the food is fresh and of top quality. Quiznos will be offering a special of a small sandwich, chips and a drink for $2.99 from June 7th to June 20th. This offer is only good with a coupon that can be printed online at http://www.quiznos.com/.  There are also trays of sandwiches that are available but you have to call ahead and arrange any catering orders.

Quizno's is a great option because of the vast offerings they have of all of their products.

I had the pleasure of sampling the Double Cheese Cheese steak, a bag of chips and a double chocolate chunk cookie. All of these selections were so tasty, fresh and hit the spot for a summer afternoon. The bread was very tender and well baked as was the cookie. The beef, cheese, onions and spread that was included were tasty and well seasoned. The sandwich was above great and I highly suggest it to everyone. The chips were from Lay and as usual, were tasty and very well put together.

This location is just a treat and great for grabbing a bite with a friend or bringing the kids after a game!!!

Jimmy John's in Glenview: A great sandwich and catering stop

Jimmy John's in Glenview is a royal sandwich treat.  This is a franchise store that is owned by Faisal Ghani and is managed by the wonderful Neal who makes this operation move and hum. The Jimmy Johns idea came from a college kid named Jimmy John who graduated from Eastern Illinois University and opened a sandwich shop. All of the recipes belong to Jimmy Johns and have been implemented in all of their stores.

This wonderful destination has some great employees with great energy that can make a sandwich in 30 seconds and keep the shop in immaculate condition. They have a ten page list of items that need to be cleaned daily and there is someone from the corporate office who comes and inspects them on a consistent basis. They also offer catering in an hour but they prefer to have at least twenty four hours notice.



They are always searching for different way to improve the concept and operation and have opened their 1000th location. Faisal also owns Olive Mediterranean Grill in the Loop which offers pan Middle Eastern cuisine and is flavorful and tasty.

I had the pleasure of sampling the "Vito" sandwich which were supreme cut Italian meats, cheeses, oregano, Italian dressing on their famous eight inch bread which also came with chips, a whole pickle (which was a treat) and a great chocolate chip cookie.

Jimmy Johns in Glenview is a great destination and a treat to stop for which you're craving a great sandwich, chips, a cookies and soda.  It's clean and very well managed by Neal and Faisal.

Einstein Brothers Bagels

Einstein Brothers is Corporate America's shining gem of a wonderful bagel, lunch, coffee and catering destination. They are not only producing wonderful products but they serve it with gracious, swift and friendly service and treat their employees like family.

Below is the history that we pulled from their website to share with you. After the history is the contined glowing review that we gathered for Einstein Brothers Bagels.

***************************************************************************************************************
History
Rising to the Challenge


In our early years, we operated and franchised specialty coffee cafés in the northeastern United States under the brand names of New World Coffee (New World) and Willoughby's Coffee and Tea (Willoughby's). In addition to coffee, we also served fresh, high quality gourmet foods and pastries. Our business strategy in those years was to be a franchisor and grow through acquisitions. With the acquisition of Manhattan Bagel Company, Inc. (Manhattan) in 1998 and Chesapeake Bagel Bakery (Chesapeake) in 1999, we became a significant franchisor of bagel restaurants and, to a lesser extent, of coffee cafés. In 2001, our strategy evolved to include company-operated restaurants as well as franchised and licensed locations as we completed the acquisition of substantially all of the assets (the Einstein Acquisition) of Einstein/Noah Bagel Corp. (ENBC) and its majority-owned subsidiary, Einstein/Noah Bagel Partners, L.P., which operated 2 brands: Einstein Bros. Bagels (Einstein Bros.) and Noah's New York Bagels (Noah's).
The Einstein Acquisition in 2001 was accomplished by issuing a substantial amount of short-term debt and mandatorily redeemable preferred equity, which have since been refinanced and restructured.

Office Talk
Our principal office is located in Golden, Colorado.

*************************************************************************************************************

We were able to chat with Ryan who is the Manager of the Glenview, Il location and is very experienced in the food business. Ryan came from the Rock Bottom Restaurant Group and was interested in this position because the hours fit his schedule with a new baby at home and Einstein Brothers is very accomodating of their employees and the life that they have outside of work.

Their products and ingredients that are used  are freshly sourced and hand picked for their customers. They are able to stay ahead of their competition because they are innovative with their menu, offer lunch and also have catering services that are available.

The food is kept fresh and clean with good refrigerators and a truck that comes three times a week with great new product.

The future of Einstein Brothers is to grow the business and become the largest fast casual restaurant empire in the country and world.

I was able to sample a wonderful Spinach Bagel with a melted cheese and garlic cream cheese, a apple pecan coffee cake, a plain bagel with strawberry cream cheese and a dutch apple bagel with plain cream cheese which was just delightful. All of these delights were very moist, the bagels were well put together, tender and the cream cheeses were very authentic.

Einstein Brothers is one of Corporate America's shining examples of what it is to be good to the customer and the employees with the ability to still make money!!! Every corporation should replicate this model of capitalism.
