The Food:
This is what the review is all about, and this is where WBC really shines. For the remainder of any additional WBC reviews I do, I can skip all of the introductory information and link back to it, because the food is the only thing we mix up.
WBC uses very fresh ingredients. Obviously any dishes that have a bread component to them is baked fresh in their bakery daily. Sandwiches come with crisp lettuce, fresh tomatoes, delightful cheeses, etc. It seems like when the owner or head chef of the WBC was creating the menu they really believed in the old creed that "Fresh ingredients make a fresh taste."
In the most recent visit, I ordered the Turkey Pastrami Sandwich with the mixed chips and honey mustard on the side.
This particular sandwich is a "hot sandwich" the thick layer of Swiss cheese comes melted and layered between succulent pieces of 99% fat-free turkey pastrami. Served on a piece of caraway rye bread, I found this sandwich to be one of my favorites. I order the honey mustard on the side, but I feel the need to explain that I do this because I love it so much.
The WBC honey mustard can only be described as the thickest and tastiest combination of flavors you will ever try. They make real honey mustard (none of this high fructose corn syrup stuff), where you can see the honey in the honey mustard. I usually get it on the side because I am a dipper (both my chips and my sandwich) and it makes each bite have a rush of flavors.
My wife ordered the Caesar salad (dressing on the side) and their famous Potato Cream Cheese soup.
The customary procedure for our meals is that I sample some of her food, and she samples some of mine. In this particular case I have actually ordered this exact meal before, so I can describe it pretty well. My wife usually finds this to be her favorite soup. Served just hot enough (not scolding, and not cold) it comes with a piece of bread for dipping and usually in a cup or a bread boule. The soup has a creamy cheese taste and each bite is overflowing with soft pieces of potato.
The salad is crisp and delicious and is served with pieces of thinly cut fresh Parmesan cheese, which I promptly steal from my wife and eat for myself. Muaha!
After our meal there is a 99% chance we've already ordered some sort of pastry to nom on, so BEHOLD: 2 Chocolate Chip Cookies.
Alright, let's just everybody relax. These cookies are gooooooood. Freshly baked, always soft, bitter-sweet chocolate chips. I am strong enough to admit that I don't love these as much as Paradise Bakery cookies, but my wife does. I think it's the semi-sweet chocolate chips they use. But I can admit, these are damn good cookies. Good enough that I order one with every meal (except breakfast).
