| - This place is a Cleveland icon, and a definite stop if you're in the city. You'll have the best grilled cheese sandwiches of your life (sorry mom).
I've been to all three, and this one is my favorite. Since its the original, they have some different things on the menu (unless the menu has changed at all of them since I've been) and have bigger portions. Appetizers are good, but I always make the mistake of getting one and then only being able to eat a few bites of my sandwich. Ultimate fries are delicious, but make assure you have at least three other people to split them with. You'll still have leftovers. Buffalo tofu is excellent, with crispy breaded tofu in a tangy buffalo sauce. Portions are huge, just like the sandwiches.
I've had quite a few sandwiches here. The purple parma is great, as is the veggie burger. My all time favorite is the big popper. Its essentially a remake of a jalapeno popper. How much better does it get than that? Not much, I'll tell you. The sandwich is filled with herbed cream cheese, cheddar and fresh jalapenos and then is deep fried. As if it couldn't be better, its served with mixed berry preserves, which provide the perfect contrast between sweet, spicy, salty and crunchy.
I always feel awful after I leave though, and even the next day. Hence why this is a once-every-six-months kind of thing.
