You know, I really want to like this place...I really do....
That part of me that longs to like one of those err hipster places, hipsters right?
Came here in person finally and I have to say, I really REALLY want to like this place. There was a review by food critic Amy Pataki about the eggplant sandwich being so good. There was a reference to the Sopranos but I dun watch it cuz its too violent.
Anyways, I came here for the eggplant sandwich and got two of those bombalones. They were made fresh which was a plus. Asked for them with a light dusting of sugar.
Alright, onto the sandwich...now I really tried my best to want to like this sandwich. But I was hoping for something like egg plant parmasian, I knew it'd be fried but I was hoping that it'd be hidden from the goodness of the eggplant. Boy was I wrong. I found the sandwich to be tasteless, the tomato (a whole roma without the skin) but I didn't see any seasoning. The bread at the bottom of the sandwich was soggy. Even though the bread was tough as nails, it lost it's strong dryness after sitting there a while.
They do not reheat any of their sandwiches so it's served at room temperature.
Why did I get egg plant parmasian? I don't even like european egg plant....
Oh well...some of the prices may seem steep (if your buying for someone else, then definately) but if your just ordering for one it's ok.
The staff there (who are all tall girls, hmmm...are they related to someone) seem nice and are informative.
