Angela Does Everything

Last month, a new Noodles and Company location opened up in our area. I was lucky and snagged a seat at their soft opening event (thanks to a facebook ad).  If you have never been to a soft opening, it is basically when a restaurant is just about ready to open, they have a day or two when people can come and eat (usually for free) to give the staff practice before they are officially opened to the public. The soft openings I have been to in the past usually are "invite only," but when you can get an invite, it is a neat experience. For Noodles and Company, I quickly had my friend Savannah sign up too.

I kinda envisioned a bunch of donut booths that would be handing out samples. Nope. It was waaaaaay cooler than that. When we arrived we were seated at one of their long tables (I like sitting).
