Thanksgiving Day Brunch-Atlanta Bread

California Avocado Sandwich

Bagel from Atlanta Bread


We had a short layover in Atlanta on our way to Mississippi on Thanksgiving Day. We walked the terminal briefly, and elected to stop at Atlanta Bread for a snack. There was a very long line and lots of employees were working hard to make the experience speedy. They were very kind considering they were stuck at work on a holiday. We were amused by their uniforms. Each shirt had a word on the back that was a play on words; for example: Teashirt. It was very cute.

To prove either how popular the restaurant was or to prove they weren't prepared for the holiday crowd, while we were waiting after placing our order, we heard that they had run out of sesame bagels. Luckily, I had chosen a cinnamon raisin. I ordered it with butter and to my shock, the answer was to spray Pam on the bagel before toasting it. I was very disappointed in my bagel. I also was disappointed because I wanted a smoothie, but they were out.

However, Paul's California Avocado Sandwich was really good. It more than made up for the bagel. I especially enjoyed the dill dressing on the roll. Some people might not think it was worth $6.99, but considering most airport prices and the quality of fast-food in airports, I think the price was totally reasonable. I probably wouldn't pay that on a regular basis, though. I would go back to Atlanta Bread for the sandwich and do not hold the bad bagel against them. Too bad we don't fly that trip more to take advantage the restaurant.
