This week, after a bit of convincing from a coworker, I finally gave the "Unwich" a try. Why, you ask, was this so hard?? Well....I'm a bit of a
carbaholic bread-lover. Have you ever walked into a Jimmy John's?!?!? It smells like heaven...
Anyway, I was hesitant and pretty sure that my "unwich" was just not going to satisfy me like my good ole #4 Turkey Tom normally would. I looked up the nutritional info...which made my decision for me. Say what?!?! Under 300 calories!! Shoot...Go For It!!

Less calories actually, because I always do E-Z mayo

Like always, Jimmy never disappoints when it comes to speed. I swear that sucker is at my office front desk before I have a chance to go to the kitchen to get an accompanying beverage!

Here she is! #4 Unwich |

After a few bites of turkey yumminess |
Eating the unwich is kind of like eating a big burrito...only more
slippery delicate. For
under 300 calories though, I found it pretty dang tasty and fulfilling! I had to grab a yogurt snack about 3 hours later, but that didn't bother me at all.
Advice
- I found a great image online from inside a Jimmy John store that said "Don't unwrap it". In hindsight, I think that is the BEST advice for eating this puppy...unwrap only enough to not get a mouth full of paper.
- Do NOT order this if you're on a date or eating with someone you don't mind looking a bit sloppy in front of. (why are you on a date at Jimmy John's??) There is no way to eat this and look lady-like. Period. I'd compare it to eating ribs...
- Add veggies. Might as well and it gives it a little more substance!
Here in CA we have an awesome burger place called In N Out. You may have heard of it...it's legendary. They only sell burgers, fries and shakes...and they're amazing! I order the "protein style" burger which comes with no bun and even though it's a little messier...I get to go to my favorite burger joint way more often without the guilt of a bun.
ReplyDeleteHang in there...I bet the lettuce wrap will grow on you!
