Fortunately, lots of food carts out in London that'll benefit.
I associate Pret with airports for some reason.
I’ve eaten at several Pret a Mangers in London and they were ok, nothing to write home about but not bad. Better than a grocery store sandwich. Similar to an Amazon Go sandwich. Better than Subway. Here in Chicago we have a chain called Potbelly that’s pretty good and Pret is definitely below them. (Also it seems the only Pret still open in the US is the one on the UChicago campus)
wonder how many of the people claiming Pret a Manger is worse than 7-11 have actually ever eaten at Pret a Manger
What killed them? We lost ours just about 18 months ago.
They seemed to be in a perfect spot, too. Only restaurant in a 20 floor office building. We used them for lunch when customers came in all the time.
How could you screw that one up? Or was it that all their leases expired simultaneously and they just couldn't pay the now-expensive rent?
That seemed understandable, until I learned a lot of them had been replaced with other fried chicken places.
I never understood the allure, especially in a city with so many other options. It was a reliable place to get in out of the cold during our trip to London.
My kids loved it, though ;)
If you stack toast, the moisture from the toast below in the stack makes most of the stack soggy. Racking it lets the steam escape. You still eat the toast warm, just not wet.
If you find yourself without a toast rack, you can lean them against each other as if you're starting to make a house of cards to keep them crisp.
