There’s something about a loaded sandwich that is just so satisfying for lunch, and they don’t get much more loaded than the ones you’ll find at My Piknic, a new sandwich café that recently opened in Brentwood. Sandwich options range from the BBQ beef galbi sandwich to the spicy crab, or you can opt for one of the many loaded salads. Pair your choice with one of the smoothies, slushes or fruit juices available here.
