Whole Foods Chicken Sandwich

I love their chicken sandwich.  I think the killer ingredient is the carmelized onions.  Jane makes some awesome quesadillas with carmelized onions.  The "Austin Grill" chicken sandwich is not on the menu but the people there know it by name. In case they forget, here are the ingredients:

Grilled Chicken
Monterrey Jack Cheese
Carmelized Onion
Lettuce
Tomatoe
Cooked Red Pepper
Chipotle Mayo
Toasted to melt the cheese.
Served with tortilla chips
Yummy!

ask the individual to smile.
ask him or her to raise both arms.
ask the person to speak a simple sentence.
If he or she has trouble with any of these tasks, call 911 immediately, and describe the symptoms to the dispatcher. Researchers are urging the general public to learn to ask these three questions quickly, to someone they suspect of having a stroke. Widespread use of this test could result in prompt diagnosis and treatment of a stroke, and prevent permanent brain damage.
