| - For a few bucks more, you can get a lunch that is clearly different. For example, take the Reuben sandwich I had recently. I would expect a couple slices of nice fresh rye bread, a stacking of hot corned beef, sauerkraut, mustard and Thousand Island dressing.
Cachet served me nothing that usual. This was a "deconstructed" sandwich. Actually, it was not a sandwich, it was corned beef baked in a puff pastry! On the side were little containers of hot mustard, sauerkraut and dressing. My job: put it together, one bite at a time.
This was a very non-standard interpretation, and I welcome the change. It made for a "fun" meal rather than just hoovering down a traditional sandwich. The price is higher, and the amount of corned beef was much less than a deli puts on a $9 sandwich, but it was a definite experience that I did not expect, and I enjoyed it.
