Outside of work, you can likely find her curled up on with a hot cup of coffee, practicing yoga, baking, or exploring the beautiful Lone Star State (in particular, the vast and mystical West Texas desert).
More often than not, the best food is hiding where we least expect to find it. That’s precisely the case when it comes to Miller’s Country Market in Lott, a neighborhood deli and grocery store tucked away in small-town Texas. Here, you’ll find homemade sandwiches piled high with fresh meats, cheeses, and lots of other tasty toppings. Although the store is little more than a blip on the map, it serves up some of the best sandwiches you’ll ever try.

If you're in the mood for a truly phenomenal sandwich, head on over to Miller's Country Market in the tiny town of Lott.
Nestled on a country road just off Highway 77, this small neighborhood grocer is unbeknownst to most everyone besides the locals - but it's sure to become your new favorite pit stop any time you're road-tripping through Central Texas.
Although Miller's is known for its homemade sandwiches piled high with goodies, it also offers several aisles of groceries. Stock up on everything from chips and soda to fresh deli meats and cheeses.
Of course, no trip to Miller's is complete without savoring one of the market's signature sandwiches. The Miller’s Special Chicken Salad with grapes and pecans is a house favorite, and for good reason. It's so creamy and delicious!
The Club Sandwich, which comes loaded up with ham, turkey, bacon, cheddar, tomato, lettuce, and mayo is my personal favorite. Other options include pulled pork, BBQ chicken bacon, chicken parmesan, and Philly cheesesteak.
Miller's also has a build-your-own option if a custom sandwich creation is what you're craving. With several different types of bread, meat, cheese, and dressings to choose from, the sky is truly the limit.
You can either take your sandwich for the road or enjoy it in the market's dining area. I recommend the latter - small-town restaurants are always buzzing with friendly locals, and you're bound to have some interesting conversations.
From pies, cakes, and cookies to artisan bread loves, everything is homemade with lots of love, and you can taste the difference.
