Notes:
I worked at ThunderCloud, way back when.  It was my third job ever, I worked there for 7 years and had a ton of fun doing it.  ThunderCloud holds a huge place in my heart.

The food is pretty damn good, too.  As an employee, I got 50% off.  Being a young, on-again-off-again college student working a slightly-above-minimum-wage job, 50% off = I lived on ThunderCloud, and it was awesome.  My "favorite" thing there morphed from one wacky thing to another, depending on my mood.  When I was feeling "healthy", I made a crispy, crunchy, all-veggie sandwich I insisted on chilling in the fridge for hours before consuming.  When I needed something "big", I went for a tuna salad sandwich with bacon, jalapenos, and avocado (I highly recommend you try this combination sometime).   And then there was that summer of exceptionally good tomatoes which required ham, mayonnaise, mustard and pickles (and nothing else) on wheat.

One thing I rarely ate, though, was the turkey sandwich.  By far the most popular thing on the menu, generally employees steered clear of it - too boring, or maybe we were just tired of it.  Now, whenever I go back, that's all I want.  Funny how that works.

Patrick humors me.  He's not so into sandwiches, but he knows I love ThunderCloud, so he comes along and orders something for himself.  He likes their sandwiches well enough, but he's just happy to watch me bounce up and down in my seat with my first (and second, and third...) bite.  It does that to me.


I love Thundercloud so much, I'll even eat it at the (Austin) airport on my way out of town if I didn't get my fix.
