So much more than peanut butter and jelly

My last few posts haven't really been about travel. Sorry  if you really missed hearing about my adventures. Here's one just for you.

I REALLY want to go back someday.
In New York, Mommy and I went to a restaurant called Peanut Butter and Company that specializes in--surprise!--peanut butter sandwiches. If you think this sounds boring, IT WAS NOT. It was very good. There were more types of peanut butter sandwiches than I could imagine. They have some normal stuff, like PB&J, and some weird stuff, like the Pregnant Lady, which has peanut butter and pickles. That is crazy. And strange.

When you order a sandwich, they bring it out to you with carrot sticks and potato chips, "Just like Mom used to do." Interesting. My mom almost never allows potato chips in the house.

They have all kinds of peanut butter, and by "kinds" I don't mean texture like crunchy and creamy. (Although those are offered.) I'm talking flavors. There is a white chocolate peanut butter, and a cinnamon raisin peanut butter, and some spicy peanut butter made with chili powder. And a lot more types. Of course, you can have just the regular, unflavored stuff, but it's more fun to try something new.

I chose a Fluffernutter sandwich made with dark chocolate peanut butter and marshmallow fluff. That was wonderful--how could anyone have something against peanut butter and marshmallow, unless they're allergic? 

Mommy decided on peanut butter BLT made with maple peanut butter. She said she was surprised at how good it was. I was surprised too!
Scrumptious. No other word for it.

They make the best peanut butter sandwiches I've ever had. If you ever go to New York, make sure you stop there for lunch.

  1. Yum! I tried eating a peanut butter and pickle sandwich when I was around 13. I think I did it to freak out Aunt Uyenthi. It was actually quite tasty. My favorite is peanut butter and honey though.

  3. i do enjoy peanut butter and also pickles, but never did have them together, especially on a sandwich.

    we did not have many potato chips around when i was growing up in my house, either. hmmm.

    i love noodles with spicy peanut sauce, so i think i would go for the chili powder. but then i would want it on noodles instead of bread. or maybe on cabbage. great - now i'm hungry again!

    oh, d & i got takeout from california tortilla last night. it's new and near our house. they have a "wall of flame" with 75 different hot sauces with varying flavors, heat levels, and outrageous names, some of which i am embarrassed to repeat so i won't. maybe that would be worth a visit and blog entry?

  4. Hi Taryn,
    That sounds like my kind of restaurant:) Years ago, in California, I went to a restaurant called Hamburger Henry's and ordered a peanut butter hamburger. I don't remember liking it too much, but your flufernutter sandwich sounds yummy! Your mom's sandwich does too:) Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting!
