To me, this is like if KFC started offering Frappacino's and Lattes.

 

[Soma]

oh yeah we've been sampling these at work all week.

not bad

mfw I rung it up on the register to see the price:

 

[Bodacious]

Not even w/ tomato soup???

 

[BattleMonkey]

Do they use that plastic knife to spread the meat on also?

Starbucks sandwiches aren't made to order, they come premade in plastic bags, they just open and toss in the toaster before serving.

Not gonna lie, I was heading to Starbucks to do some work and get a coffee... And 30 min in, I got kinda hungry. This might have hit that spot

 

[border]

Obviously all Starbucks' business is pretty front-loaded. They sell a million drinks in the morning, and then the rest of the day is a dull by comparison.

I imagine their thought is that if they can get a decent food menu together, they can bump up traffic during the lunch and dinnertime hours.

I think the problem is that all their food is just as shitty and unhealthy as fast food, but twice as expensive.

Seems like Starbucks is turning more into a fast for chain that has collection of coffee than a dedicated coffee hub.

I tried this yesterday and it was pretty tasty. Not something I'd have often though, for my health's sake. I work there so I got it for free, but I probably wouldn't get it otherwise.

 

[NipplesAndToes23]

Nah I can't trust BBQ coming from Starbucks. I'll just stick to those nice Cheesecake Factory cheesecakes they sell.

Do you get those cheesecakes for free too?

KFC Krushers

 

[Risible]

Could there be LESS meat on that sandwich?

 

[abstract alien]

Braise it, put sauce on it, add cheese. Serve with coffee.

Smoked barbeque sandwich. This is what we've come to.

 

[lightus]

I've heard it's decent. Definitely costs a bit for what you're getting though.

I only eat food there if I have a free reward saved up. Might try it the next time I get one.

Looks fine to me. What were you expecting, this?

Also it looks delicious.

 

[PeregrinSe7en]

lol thats hilarious

all these big fast food chains trying to be something they're not

cant wait to hear the next zany food idea

 

[abercrombie]

Looks edible...

Brisket shouldn't be shredded IMO.

 

[iMax]

Not even w/ tomato soup???

Maybe. At a push. Would have to be mozzarella or pecorino though.

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

BBQ with coffee is.. Eh..

Putting cheese on it is flat out disrespectful to a good BBQ sandwich.

 

[entremet]

People actually buy Starbucks food? Stuff is just sitting there--I'm sure it's safe to eat as they're refrigerated cases.

It never looks appetizing and it's overpriced to heck.

I remember their egg sandwiches. Precooked eggs. Gross.

the pastries are good, though a bit pricey. i tend to buy the rice krispies squares whenever i visit my local barnes and noble.

FYI the barnes and nobles ones aren't even Starbucks, just Barnes and Noble's 'Cafes' that sell Starbucks coffee. Hence why they have a better selection of pastries.

I need my sandwiches to have a little more protein. Like this:

 

[forms]

Added smoke flavor for that fake BBQ feeling. Nope.

 

[CrocMother]

That looks like a grilled cheese with some meat inside.

Don't Starbucks employees get treated pretty well? I know at the very least they get access to free education which is massive this day and age. Up to them if they take advantage of it I guess.

Customer-wise we get treated like dog-shit but if you're looking corporate-side there's a lot of nice benefits and programs that the employees can use to their advantage, including vision, health, typical bullshit.

The tuition program only works through Phoenix which leaves a lot to be desired since there's not so many programs to get involved with through them.

I will say though that the sandwich is pretty damn tasty, at least one of the better ones through my store.

If you're making brisket in 7 hours, it's not BBQ. No thanks. Also, cheese with brisket? Bleh.

Yep. Crazy stuff.

Just tried this since I usually go to Starbucks during lunch for tea anyway:

Didn't taste all too bad but it wasn't amazing either. The sauce is a little sweet, barely smokey, and not very complex. I do like how they toast the sourdough since it provides a nice textural contrast. I didn't detect any cheese whatsoever. I'd pay maybe $3-4 for it at most. Very messy.

Looks like cat food.
