Well, not at a DD's in Newton, NJ today. My mouth watered for the ham and cheese flatbread sandwich in the menu photo, with stacks of ham and melted cheese right up to the edges of the bread. What I got wasn't worth half the price. A few thin slices of ham and what might have been a slice of white cheddar cheese, only showing along the short edge. A lot of bread along the other two long edges. Too hot to eat without pulling apart and cooling off- hardly "toasted to order." And the flatbread tasted like spongey matzoh crackers, which don't taste like anything. Hardly multi-grain. I know because I had several bites of flatbread only, no ham or cheese.

I didn't know that you can actually paint these on! Oh boy, the maddening insanity of the fast food industry!
