In brief: You can count on Pret for a fresh sandwich. Everyone has a favorite, ours is the roast beef, parmesan and arugula on a baguette.

I'm kind of a sucker for anything labeled "new flavor" or limited edition. It must be the Japanese in me. This morning, leaving behind some sick family members at home, I decided to pick up a quick lunch so I could get home early. And this was one of the limited morning offerings. The guy at the register mumbled, "this one is really good", so I was pretty hopeful. And nice it was. It's called Maryland Spiced Shrimp and Spinach and has a light dusting of Old Bay seasoning on their bread, and the shrimp texture was right on. Impressive for a pre-made chain sandwich.
