Satisfy Your Cravings With a Potbelly Milk Shake
My sister has sworn off bread and sweets this week. She needs to fit into her wedding dress on Saturday and decided this was the best tack to take. As a result she is craving malted milkshakes from Potbelly Sandwich Works.
I had never had a Potbelly milkshake, so felt duty-bound to give them a try. The shakes, made on-site, are thick and come topped with an adorable little daisy-shaped butter cookie that sits on the straw.
I am still mourning my favorite specialty milkshakes, the Tangiers Taxi, a chocolate-orange milkshake, from Seattle's long-gone Cafe Counter-Intelligence, and the chocolate mint Frango milkshakes from the long-gone Frederick & Nelson's department store. But I'm always game for a chocolate malted, though they're rarely available these days outside of traditional burger joints. So I was delighted by Potbelly's relatively inexpensive and highly recommended shakes.
Potbelly Sandwich Works began as an antiques store on Chicago's Lincoln Avenue in 1977. When the owners began selling sandwiches as well, their business skyrocketed and the antiques became merely a backdrop for the sandwich shop that emerged. The local shop was purchased in 1996 and has since expanded to twelve states and the District of Columbia. If there was one in Seattle, I think I'd be in trouble. Where do you go to satisfy your milkshake cravings?

I love Potbelly but haven't tried the shakes, but will do now!

I appreciate your honest post here on. As hard as it is to believe, it is possible you overlooked the few things in question. It would appear it has become a little out of hand with a so much of information to manage about. As a experienced person of nearly 15 years, i must say i totally agree with you on.
