Togo's Disappoints
I've been a fan of the Togo's #9 since sometime in the mid-80s. Sadly, my fandom ended today. I was home at lunchtime, and had a craving, so I walked over to the local Togo's (passing up the recently opened Quiznos and lacking in atmosphere/manners Subway).
There was a sign taped to the door - "we're sorry, for health reasons, we will not be using tomatoes." Two problems here:
- Tomatoes add flavor; I learned first hand today that the #9 is not so great without tomatoes. That might be because the sandwich barista overcompensated with lettuce though;
- The FDA has said that tomatoes from California are not linked to the Salmonella Saintpaul outbreak
Sorry Togo's, you're on my boycott list, along with Canada and Noah's Bagels. We had a good run though.

Have you checked recently? California IS on the list.

On the list of states with reported cases, yes. On the list of potential sources for defective tomatoes, no. Hence my conclusion that they get their tomatoes from someplace other than the state of California.
