$5.50 for a Peanut Butter Sandwich?

I just found out about a *restaurant* that serves nothing but peanut butter sandwiches. It's called P.B. Loco (www.pbloco.com), located in Scottsdale.

Now, I don't know if I would spend $5.50 for a PB&J sandwich, well, maybe just once.

According to the article, the whole thing started in Minnesota by three lawyers, who set up shop in with the first P.B. Loco in the Mall of America. Arizona alert--two more are planned for Chandler and Glendale later this year. Goodie.....Glendale would be closer.

There are a dozen kinds of PB. The two basics, smooth and crunchy, but then the weirdness comes in with raspberry white chocolate, dark chocolate, creamy white chocolate, raspberry dark chocolate, banana, cinnamon and raisin, apricot, Asian curry spice, sun-dried tomato and cafe mocha. Now, the add ons start. From the old favorites like grape jelly and raspberry jam to the more *exotic.* Spread on marshmallow spread and Nutella (an Italian chocolate-hazelnut spread). You will also find some *off the wall* stuff like bananas (well maybe this one's not *off the wall*), pickles, cream cheese, carrots, lettuce, bacon, potato chips, raisins, apples, pretzels, cucumber, chocolate chips, chedder cheese, coconut and M&M's.

There are 16 sandwiches on the *menu* $4.95 to $5.50, but you can build your own too for $4.50 plus .50 for each add on. You can pick your own kind of bread, white, wheat, multigrain or tortilla. You can also have your sandwich grilled. But wait, there's more......each sandwich comes with animal crackers.

Guess what this sandwich is called. Creamy PB, banana, honey and bacon bits and grilled. The Memphis, as tribute to Elvis.

Well, that's pretty much the *spread* on P.B. Loco. I would probably build my own of crunchy PB, grape jelly, potato chips and chocolate chips, on white bread ($6.45 plus tax). I do live on the wild side sometimes, so I might do something really crazy.
