I had to find him. I got up this morning and couldn't help but think about how good this sandwich would be. I even lugged my big camera to work to take a picture to post on this blog. A noon neared, I grabbed my purse and as I was headed out the door I ran into my friend Chris and told him I had a date with the "Sandwich Man." "Oh," he said, "you mean the guy in the VW bus?" "Yes, you know of him?" My eyes filled with joy. "Yeah, he's great. You have to try the soups too, they're amazing!" Oh gosh, this was just too much for me. I headed out the door in a fast walking pace (and if I weren't 6 months pregnant I'm sure I would have run) with sandwiches, and now SOUP, on my brain. But alas, there was no Sandwich Man to be found. Just a parking lot with ordinary cars. With ordinary people leaving for their ordinary lunch break to some ordinary place. My heart sank as I walked back to work...empty handed. But, don't worry you all. I SHALL get to the bottom of this. And gosh darn it, that sandwich and that bowl of soup better be good!

Sandwich Mystery, Part I
Yesterday I was having lunch with a coworker who mentioned that she was bummed she was taking today off because the "Sandwich Van" was going to be about a block away from our building. Instantly I perked up and thought about this blog. "What Sandwich Van?" I asked, trying to mask my excitement. She explained there was this guy who sold scrumptious sandwiches out of his converted VW bus and he travels from place to place selling them each afternoon. I thought to myself: a mysterious sandwich man (or sandwich van or sandwich truck), selling sandwiches out of a VW bus...that's SO Eugene. I had visions of the Scooby Doo mystery van which made it all the more intriguing.
I had to find him. I got up this morning and couldn't help but think about how good this sandwich would be. I even lugged my big camera to work to take a picture to post on this blog. A noon neared, I grabbed my purse and as I was headed out the door I ran into my friend Chris and told him I had a date with the "Sandwich Man." "Oh," he said, "you mean the guy in the VW bus?"
