233 E. Grand River AvenueThe thing about college towns…..you never know when restaurants are open. I’ve tried my last three trips to eat at one of three places. Everytime I go, the buildings are locked up and dark leaving me to scramble to find something else.
On my most recent trip to East Lansing, I just wasn’t in the mood to keep looking. There was a perfectly good sandwich shop down the street and that’s what I was going to have for lunch.
Potbelly Sandwich Shop is a Chicago based chain that has been around since the late 1970’s…well, the original shop on North Lincoln Avenue has been anyway. They’ve been in the expansion game for a little over a decade.
I’ve eaten at other Potbelly stores before, but never the East Lansing location which is in the heart of downtown on the corner of Grand River Avenue and Mac. The restaurant occupies the bottom floor of the corner building.
The decor of all Potbelly Sandwich Shop’s is an homage to the original store which took over retail space formerly occupied by an antique store. Many of the decorations were leftover from that store. I always get the feeling that I’m in an old carriage house or something. The floors are antique-looking wood and there’s a wood loft that runs along the outside walls that is home to antique signs and knick knacks. 
The order counter is a little wierd. You have to go all the way back in the corner to place your order. There’s a pop cooler on the wall and above that is the menu. Like I already mentioned, Potbelly is a sandwich shop that serves toasted submarine sandwiches. I ordered the Bigs Roast Beef. You can get the sandwich either regular or “Bigs” which is 30% more. You also get the choice of white or wheat bread. I chose the wheat.
The sandwich is piled up and toasted on a conveyor oven which makes the bread nice and crispy. When it comes out, there are a few choices of toppings. Not as many as some of their competitors, but they have one thing that really makes them stand out.
Besides the roast beef and provolone cheese that comes on the sandwich, the only thing I added were hot peppers. If you know anything about me, you know my favorite food outside of burgers is a Chicago-Style Italian beef with hot giardiniera. Potbelly was selling bottles of their hot peppers and while my sandwich was toasting, I picked one up and my mouth started salivating. It was a true, Chicago-style hot giardiniera with carrots, cauliflower, peppers and all the goodness I crave when I go home.
My sandwich was wrapped up and tucked into a little paper bag. I waited until I got back to my job site to eat. I was actually really happy with the sandwich. It almost tasted like an Italian beef. The giardiniera was spot on and provided most of the flavor. The other thing I really liked about the sandwich was the bread. It was so nice and crispy. There was a crunch in every bite which is something I really like.
Potbelly Sandwich Shop turned out to be a quick, cheap, delicious lunch. It wasn’t what I was going for when I left and I pretty much avoided the place when I actually lived in Lansing because I had eaten at a Potbelly in the past, but I’m glad I stopped in when I did.

What would Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez Say?
Well, He would probably say something like “No Soup For You!!!”. “Come Back 50 years”. Or something like for all those “Politicos” “Stay Away From Those Manholes” and he would say “Don’t Get None On Ya!”.
Anyway, we sure-do still agree with all those “Kutcharitaville and Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez Reports that everyone has been posting for the last 25 years or however long this internet thing has been going on. Captain Kutchie has been World Famous way longer than this stupid internet for damn sure. You can take that to the bank, Thats’ GOLD Jerry it’s GOLD! Or put it in your pipe and smoke it.
He would also say, All of today’s Anti Trumpers are mad because, they were promised by The Dragon Lady HerSelf “Hillary Clinton” a leading Membership in Hillary’s 666 New World Order!
What makes all these Racist, Commie Leftest Liberal Wannabee everything for nothing AssHoles and they’re Scum Sucking Pig, Fake News Chicken-Shit, Ass Licking Fake Reporters think that they can outsmart our “Lord Christ Jesus”? Hillary, your lord Satan was defeated way back on The Cross and yet, YOU, continue to deceive and recruit all those weak souls that you can fool too follow you back home straight too HELL!
Please don’t hold all this garbage against me and Captain Kutchie but It is what it is.
Bye, Bye, Y’all
Oh, One more thing that I have to share with all you, Hello Nice People, A very long time ago even before I had even got married and way before we had even heard about “Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez”or “Kutcharitaville” for that matter, That good looking SOB, my husband Stan told me that many years ago he had read an article in “Playboy Magazine” written by “The Infamous Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez.”In that article “Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez” was en lighting his readers’ about The Perks of being born in this millinimon, 1. The elixir of the human race “BUTTER”. Always add a good sized dab or two!
2. “PUSSY”. It’s what makes the world go around, get ya some today, it’s soooo GOOD! 3. “EJACULATION”…Now that’s the yummy-yummy sticky stuff better known as baby batter. Share some with the one you love. It’s also the stuff that we are talking about when we say “Don’t get none on ya.”. How’s hat grab you? How do you like them Apples?
And would someone out there, Please tell that “Moron” Tom Steyer the difference between a Democracy and a Republic. Thanks for that. He always wants to give head to head with the president, What? Donald Trump isn’t that kind of guy, perhaps he should get himself a date with good old “Mayor Pete”, I hear that his door swings that way.
I See you later alligators. Thanks for you’re time, it’s been a blast!……Patti
Always remember Chef Captain Kutchie Pelaez’s Homemade “Yummy Yummy” Sauce. It’s Soooo Damn Good!
