                <title>Aug 26,  2007 at 08:08 PM : I have not tried that...</title>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#3366ff&quot;&gt;I have not tried that place out yet but I did try the new Primo&#039;s and was very disappointed. Maybe after some time they will improve and then I will return. What type of food does Edelwiess serve? &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <title>Aug 29,  2007 at 12:08 PM : I just got a sandwich...</title>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Comic Sans MS&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;I just got a sandwich from Edelweiss because your post made me curious enough to go. In my opinion they will have to step it up to compete with Kohnen&#039;s, one location will be a factor, two they are a bit pricey for what you get. Now I have to say the sandwich was good it doesn&#039;t lack taste, but thats all you get-- a sandwich for---$6.95. I would have liked to see a choice of a side item like, maybe German potato salad or 4 bean salad as well for that price, but they don&#039;t even have things like that.  I bought a water which cost me 1.75 but there was a limited selection of drinks too. They do have ice tea but it was one of those little 12oz cups and I made the comment that I could down a 44oz ice tea so I&#039;ll just get the water. It took 20 mins for me to get out of there and I was 1 of 2 customers I would hate to see a rush the poor kid got all kind of confused when the register wouldn&#039;t make change for him--but he was new. I like the little side room which is for dining in and they have a variety of imported beers and they also sell some items you can&#039;t get easily. I think they could have a good thing if they just add a little more to the menu, serve a side dish and speed up a bit.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <title>Aug 29,  2007 at 01:08 PM : Luv, I must have...</title>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Luv, I must have missed you by mere minutes. I quite agree with everything you said and when I got home I sent this e-mail to the owner(s) of Eidelweiss and just read your post. It seems they do no cooking on premises. Only slicing and making sandwiches. They are missing out if they do no home cooking. I think you will agree that we are both on the same page here:&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt;Congratulations and best wishes on your new business. I just returned from my first visit with a Pastrami sandwich and it was good, although a bit too lean. I frequent a lot of Jewish Deli&#039;s in L.A. and Beverly Hills where they cook it, and Corned Beef,&amp;nbsp;on premises and contains a bit of fat for the flavor, which I prefer and always order it that way. The shrink wrapped ones are all too lean...which makes them dry.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt;Also, I asked your clerks if they had Pumpernickel bread and they said no, only the small party packs. This is one thing that even Kohnen&#039;s does not offer and I wonder how anyone can possibly eat a good liverwurst sandwich without it being on pumpernickel bread? I mean, it&#039;s a German tradition isn&#039;t it?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt;Also, I looked for home made hot German potato salad and Soups of the Day, but did not see any offerings on your menu. Are these items you plan to offer in the future?&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt;I will certainly return to sample more of your products but am looking for the above items and would appreciate your reply.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial&quot; color=&quot;#000080&quot;&gt;Thanks and best wishes,&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;Thank you all for the good information; I was looking forward to trying this new place after reading about it in &lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;The Loop&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;,&amp;nbsp;however,&amp;nbsp;it seems as though &lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Edelweiss&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;might&amp;nbsp;want to consider&amp;nbsp;stepping it up a notch or two, like a two for one coupon (new customers, etc.).&amp;nbsp; I didn&#039;t notice the e-mail address in &lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;The Loop&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;, Jim; it must be on their menu, and good for you to give them helpful hints.&amp;nbsp; The write-up was a good one, but if it does not agree with how it really is, what good is it?&amp;nbsp; Gourmet deli, etc. definitely has guidelines, &lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;a la&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt; Jewish deli&#039;s in L.A. (especially those near Fairfax)&amp;nbsp;and Beverly Hills (&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;Nate &#039;n Al&#039;s&lt;/font&gt;, for one); am getting in my car now to drive there now (&lt;em&gt;just kidding&lt;/em&gt;).&amp;nbsp; Also, Luv has another good point:&amp;nbsp; the price of a sandwich&amp;nbsp;and there is&amp;nbsp;no side item, especially when they are just starting out; you only get one chance to make a good first impression.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;4&quot;&gt;We will need more iced tea to go with the mouth-watering description in &lt;em&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot;&gt;The Loop&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;; time will tell and I hope this place does well, even though it is in out of the way location.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <title>Aug 30,  2007 at 05:08 AM : I think it only fair...</title>
                <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#333399&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;I think it only fair that I post this reply to my e-mail from the owners of Edelweiss. Alas, the Corned Beef and Pastrami will never be the equivalent of Cantor&#039;s, Nate &#039;N Al&#039;s, Greenblatt&#039;s, etc.I pulled up an authentic Jewish recipe off the Internet and will try making it myself, one of these fine days. It takes all of 3 days to complete. As a funny sideline, one of the ingredients calls for (blush) Salt Peter. I had to get it from a local Pharmacy and I took the recipe with me (blush, blush) to show the Pharmacist what I was going to use it for. He was quite suprised, but I got it. Now, all I have to do is MAKE IT!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#333399&quot; size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Jim Richards&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;2&quot;&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jim,&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thank you for your congratulations and best wishes on our new business. I want you to know that it is very much appreciated.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;While I understand your feelings and tastes for a Pastrami with a fair amount of fat, I must inform you that we have tried that in the past and found that most people these days (at least in California) prefer the more healthy and lean variety. Please also note that we do NOT use the &amp;quot;shrink wrapped ones&amp;quot;! We are proud to offer FRESH&amp;nbsp;&amp;quot;Boar&#039;s Head&amp;quot; brand which offers, in our opinion, the best meat in the United States,&amp;nbsp;on a wholesale basis. In fact, it has been approved by the American Heart Association and contains NO fillers, by-products&amp;nbsp;or preservatives of any kind. As such, it does NOT come cheap. We have chosen to offer this quality meat to our customers at NO additional charge - even though it decreases our profit margin by a BIG bunch!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Regarding Pumpernickel: Jim,&lt;/font&gt; &lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;Pumpernickel is not so much a German tradition as it is a Scandinavian one. In fact, most Germans eat Liverwurst on traditional German &amp;quot;Bauernbrot&amp;quot; (Farmers Bread).&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/em&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;In addition, it is impossible to obtain a traditional Pumpernickel in the United States, due to the fact that the flour is very different from the European variety. We have yet to find a Baker that will bake a good one. They all cite costs and length of time to make and, as we all know, everything is bottom-line oriented now.&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;font size=&quot;3&quot;&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Jim, our &amp;quot;Weekend Specials&amp;quot; consist of hot home-made Sauerkraut, Red Cabbage and German Potato Salad, combined with a type of hot meat (such as Bratwurst)&amp;nbsp;which may vary from week to week. Due to the fact that the meal varies, we have decided not to include it on our daily menu. We do, however, have it advertised in the store a day or two before Saturday. It has been such a huge hit that we have run out of Sauerkraut and/or Red Cabbage just during Saturday, eventhough we keep making double portions from the week before. We will continue to double these portions until we have enough to last all weekend. As for soups, we plan to offer them as soon as the weather turns colder. There seems to be not very much demand for hot soup when it is uncomfortably hot outside.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;We hope you will&amp;nbsp;come back&amp;nbsp;to try some of our other products and look forward to your return.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div&gt;&lt;font face=&quot;Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif&quot; size=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thank you again for your best wishes.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

                <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000ff&quot;&gt;Bigdog I ordered a bbq beef sandwich and specifically asked if they added anything to the meat and was told no it was only the meat and bbq sauce. I got my sandwich and it had some green stuff mixed in with the meat and hardly any bbq sauce. So I complained about it and they exchanged it with a hamburger ( half the price) and the hamburger meat was like rubber. &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#0000ff&quot;&gt;I will just give it some more time to work out the kinks before I return and hopefully it will get better with time. I do plan on going back in for their breakfast burrito&#039;s which they are great in Mojave!!&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

                <description>eekitsaspider&amp;nbsp; oh ya that would of made me mad. I hate it when restaurants put extra stuff in their food. Like a&amp;nbsp;tunafish&amp;nbsp;sandwich to me should be tuna and mayo only.&amp;nbsp;No onion or pickles and such. Heck I hate onions so I always ask if they put them in the food and now and then I bite into onion and man do I loose my apatite. So I do know&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;what you are saying. Next time try the pastrami its good.</description>

And I haven&#039;t had a burger from Primo before, but my husband and I used to always share the breakfast burritos.&amp;nbsp; They are the best thing on the menu.&amp;nbsp; I wait for burgers until the times I am in Lancaster or Bakersfield, when I can go to In N Out!</description>
