Well, we made the drive to Milwaukee yesterday.
WELL WORTH IT!!!
The sandwiches were every bit as good as we remember.
We made a stop at the Potawatomi Casino which was a delight.
If you like casinos and are unimpressed with what is available in Indiana and Illinois, you MUST drive up and check this place out. It is beautiful, spacious, clean and the closest thing we have seen to a Las Vegas casino in these parts.
We went up about 9:00 a.m. and the traffic was fantastic (1hour, 10 min.) We played a few hours of poker, went to get some Capriotti's to go and we were home by 4:00.
What a delightful day!
The sandwiches were amazing, the gambling quite enjoyable
and who knew such delights were within a short driving distance.
Highly recommended!
info:
Capriotti's Sandwich Shop opened Monday morning on the lobby floor of the Chase tower downtown, and the latest Sonic Drive-in is open in Greenfield.
Capriotti's, a counter-service restaurant, serves subs and sandwiches, and its specialties include sandwiches made from turkeys and beef roasted overnight and hand-pulled.
Sandwiches come in three sizes, with 9-inch sandwiches starting at $6.75. A 12-inch sandwich is around $8.25, and a 20-inch around $12.50. Sandwiches come on a sub roll, but white or wheat bread is available. Vegetarian options include soy-based "turkey."
The Capriotti's sandwich that has won kudos is the one that Steve Chanos -- co-franchisee with brother Tom -- calls Thanksgiving on a roll: The Bobbie, with turkey, cranberry sauce, stuffing and mayonnaise.
The store's address is 111 E. Wisconsin Ave., Suite 130, off the Chase lobby, but it also has an outside entrance on Water St. just north of Michigan St. The phone number is (414) 223-2277. Hours are 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday.
