Okay, so this picture is horrible. I realize that. I was running late for work and snapped it as I was walking past. However, the awesomeness of this place still stands. That concrete grey building has some pretty awesome history. When I first got here, it used to be a type of hall of sorts, I think either part of Yonsei or separate. It was not open to the public it seemed, but none of us really knew what it was. Then about two years ago (maybe 2.5 years ago) I saw some construction work being done on it and before I knew it, the words 'Lord Sandwich' with a silhouette of a man were plastered on the front. For the longest time I wondered what it was, and also how to get into the building as it was no ordinary building. Once I finally uncovered the door and went inside, I saw that they made sandwiches (duh) and other stuff (not as good as the sandwiches though). In Korea, there are two types of foods that are quite difficult to find decently made for a decent price: a salad and a sandwich. In America, you can head over to Panera, ABC, or even Publix and get a nice salad or sandwich for a good price. But in Korea, the sandwiches are abnormal and the salads are, in all honesty, crappy. So when I stumbled upon this place 2 years ago and their amazing selection of amazing sandwiches, the light inside my soul sparked on once again. Make no mistake, guys and dolls, nothing makes me happier than finding a decently made sandwich. I'm still working on the salad, though I must say Au Bon Pain has helped).

Day 81: Lord Sandwich and Lady Bread
