May 20: Dining at Cosi

A few weeks ago, my wife and son took the bi-weekly shopping trip to Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Market. Upon returning home, they brought with them carry out from Cosi - the Cosi T.B.M., in fact. It was a delicious blend of sliced tomato, basil and mozzarella cheese slices on their signature flatbread with house vinaigrette dressing. Magnifique!!! It was the first time I had tried food from Cosi, but, unfortunately, I had something else to blog about that day. So, today the entire family made the trip and we opted to dine in at Cosi. I wasn't about to let this experience go blog unnoticed! For the very first time in my life, I stepped foot into a Cosi restaurant. And, shortly after I stepped out. Somewhere in between I ate, drank and shared some family time, but that was just it....nothing memorable about the place to leave me yearning for more. True, they have unique sandwiches, such as the Steak T.B.M. that I selected, but otherwise it reminds me of combination deli/Panera Bread. Good thing today was a slow day for new experiences. Otherwise, Cosi may have not made the blog a second time.
