I have fond memories of the 'wichcraft in Bryant Park from a few years ago. Maybe it was the sitting-outside-and-actually-being-outside that made the experience so enjoyable... but no, I really think it was the fresh, hot sandwiches that made it such a memorable lunch spot. It's too bad Vegas has Vegas-ized it into mediocrity.
The line was to the door at 4pm on a Saturday. I was surprised, but I guess I shouldn't be - I forgot how time means nothing when you're in a casino. Considering the sandwiches were pre-made and just needed to be plopped onto the panini-griller, it seemed to take a while - but I wasn't in a hurry, so I can deal.
I ordered the ham/cheddar/apple on pumpernickel and got it to go. I was so excited to savor the awesomeness remembered from Bryant Park that I ripped it open in the car to take a few bites.
Oooh, messy! I don't know what happened - maybe the water content of the apples was too much? - but half of the sandwich was so soggy, it was like it had just been bathed. The other half was just fine - so strange. I think cheddar was the wrong cheese choice on their part - it made the whole thing so bland, like it zapped out any flavor the apples and ham had brought to the table. I hate to say it, but I've had a Subway sandwich or two more exciting than this. Maybe their other creations are better?
