@Chinaski Okay. It wasn't fresh enough, but not stale. Meat was good, but again, not great. They did wrap the provologne up in the meat before heating, which was a nice touch. The aus jus was solid as well. I'm starting to get angry about this.
ok ok one last question.. and this may intensify the anger... at this place, is there something on the menu that you usually go with that's 'old faithful' and 'great'?
@Chinaski Yeah, the cute bartender. Half kidding. I wanted a couple of beers and a burger/sandwich, and I hit it off with the bartender when I was there on Saturday (out day-drinking with friends; moseyed on in for a beer). Had seen her at a real niche concert a couple of Saturdays before, so I figured it was fate that she was the bartender a couple later. Random, then Fate, then Light Stalking. That's the natural progression, right? She wasn't even working tonight. Man, fuck that French fucking sandwich.
BLT on sourdough with a fried egg is up there with my favorites. But as much as I'm a very pretty man, I'm not "egg yoke dripping down my face" pretty, so I only get to eat those at the house.
@Freddy - that sir is a helluva sandwich. this pretty man will do that open face, with a fried or pouched egg on each side, with a knife and fork. gotta keep it classy my dude
i had a thinly sliced tri tip sandwich today, with bbq steak sauce, fried shallot strings and smoked cheddar that pretty much set the tone to my weekend.
I live on Mass Ave in Indianapolis and a pizza joint called Bazbeaux has this killer fresh mozzarella sandwich. It's fresh mozzarella, mixed greens, vinegar and oil, sun dried tomatoes and prosciutto on baguette bread. It is straight fire. best sandwich I've ever had.
Their chips were fantastic, as far as sandwiches, it is hard to beat that Roast Beef 1000 (slow-roasted beef, crispy shallots, 1000 island, sharp cheddar, brioche). I'd get an order of chips, the RB1000, and their homemade Limeade.
Oh that reminds me of a place I can't believe I didn't mention before.. Salumi in Seattle, which is run by Mario Batali's dad and sister (I think). They make their cured meats and have legendary sandwiches. It's a hole in the wall with a LONG ass line and you basically have to fight for a table if you want to eat in haha.
I cried a little inside when I saw the Caprese on this list. My wife just found out ~3 weeks ago that she has a severe gluten allergy, a severe dairy allergy, and for the kicker a severe coconut allergy (and she was a pescatarian to begin with (really a vegetarian by nature, but her doctor said that it would be in her best interest to try to get some meat protein into her diet so she reconciled the fish thing) so in essence now everything we used to eat is off the table. Anyhoo, she would have died for that sandwich a month ago. Oh man, it looks good.
That said, with this being the sandwich thread. We've been rocking a lot of classic PB&Js on gluten free bread recently and it has been amazing. They kind of fell out of my mind for about a decade and a half there, but goddammit PB&J is amazing!
Same for me 2 weeks ago. $1.99 for a classic PBJ at this grab-n-go deli in my neighborhood. First time I noticed them. Looked so damn good cut in triangles with the cut side PBJ pressed against the Saran Wrap it was in.
I forgot how good they were but I also forgot how much peanut butter fills you up. I was so stuffed after eating just a plain ol’ PBJ, I couldn’t believe it!
