Wednesday may 18, 2011

One typical day i was too tired after working all day long to ocok for myself, and i was very hungry. I really wanted
something to eat, so i decided to find a burger.

I ordened a half-pound burger and a lamb and chicken sandwich. I also had soma special requests about extra
cheese and vegetables.

Food arrived very fast (less than twenty minutes) and was hot and fresh. The burger was delicious, and left me
wanting more-fortunately i had the sandwich left it felt as if it was cut just a minute before i opened it-juicy, fresh,
and great.

Every single special request i made was completely satisfied, 100gr

And the best thing was that all of the above and some drinks cost me ONLY 10 dollars if that doesn´t say value for
money. I don´t know what it does.

in certainly feels great to find new excellent food delivery companies for whenever you don´t feel like coojing
youreelf, i recently had a sad excerience with my usual take away restaurant, so i decided to change a something
else-and on my first try i got what i wanted!

Order now from swift pizza and sandwich house.
