From October 1-15, Sandwhich in Chapel Hill is offering a prix fixe meal deal: $9.99 for your choice of sandwich, cup of soup or chips, bottled water or house beverage, and the restaurant's signature Antidepressant Chocolate Chip Cookie.
Not bad for a shop whose sandwiches have recently garnered praise from Bon Appétit and Vanity Fair magazines.
