| - Okay, yes. Perfection. Why aren't there more places like this? All a starving bitch wants once in a while is a well priced sandwich that isn't from Subway that you can eat in without feeling awkward or take out like a bandit and scarf down in the car, making humming sounds while chewing.
My stupidity here was that I read about this place back in January during the Polar Vortex Redux and super excited to try the place, I drove over, parked the car around the corner and whipped in to get the po boy which was the star of all the reviews, except it wasn't on the menu...wtf? "There's no po boy," said the girl adamantly. I argued to no avail: "IT'S IN ALL THE REVIEWS, ARE YOU SURE?" she shrugged and I ordered a sandwich, any sandwich, I don't fucking remember what was in it but it went in my mouth and eventually out the other end without fanfare. I ate in, with a bunch of Riverdale ageing saggy titted hipster types, drinking coffee while their dander had formed stucco patterns on the walls, I was suspicious something was wrong...THEN! When I left the place, bundling myself back up in my goddamn feather shedding parka that I've since burned, I looked to the east and saw the Sully's sandwich board two doors over and I realized I WAS IN THE WRONG FUCKN SANDWICH SHOP. I was so mad that I filled myself up with another sandwich without my intent that I blocked the whole thing out of my mind and went home and watched a bunch of Netflix for 6 months.
It was like I banged some dumbass roadie instead of the rockstar.
Anyway, I remembered yesterday while driving along Gerrard. Must try Sully's, the reminder app in my brain tweeted. Parked in front of the joint so I wouldn't get confused again and ordered the po' boy AND the fries and sat inside. Great service (so cute were the guys), sandwich is HUGE, the battered shrimp is succulent and the slaw inside is fresh and crunchy, the bun is fluffy and fresh with NO sesame seeds! (please all sandwich joints need to stop with sesame seed buns, those little seeds ruin everything)...the fries are skinny French frite type, very elegant. So happy it's warm out now because there is a patio.
I will come back and try every sandwich except for the tofu one, because no.
