| - OH MY GOSH!!! If I could write this review in all caps and guarantee that A) people would keep reading, and B) I wouldn't be irritating the crap out of everyone, then I would, cuz that's how excited I am about my first time experience at the Sandwich Box, at their Yonge & Eglinton location.
First off, the place is clean, immaculate, pretty, appealing to the eye, I'm impressed as soon as I walk in the door. Secondly, if you have not yet been to the Sandwich Box, YOU MUST GO!! You just must! It's THAT GOOD!
Onto the sandwiches! These gourmet sandwiches are like the best made to order sandwiches I've ever experienced, accompanied by the most exquisite choices of toppings!!!
The concept is delightfully simple, but variety is diverse and plentiful. You pick your bread, and I'm not talking white or wheat here folks, my choice was the "rosemary foccacia" (Yum-O!) Then you pick your spread, again, not just mayo, or mustard, I chose "basil pesto" ...aahhh!! (mouth watering, yet?? Huh?)
Next, you pick your meat, I chose the roasted chicken breast. And believe me, I was mighty fearful, coming from Subway and Quizno's that I was going to be sorely disappointed with some poor disgusting processed chicken crap that they try to pass off as meat...but oh no!! This was the real deal! Yippee!
After the meat, you pick your cheese and vegetables. You have the choice to forgo either and get 2 cheeses, and no veg OR no cheese, and 2 veg. But I was sold when I saw they had boccacini mozzarella!! So I chose that, along with some roasted red peppers, yummy.
They put in on the grill and brush some olive oil on top to make quite the nice little warmed grilled sandwich for you. After which, they pack it neatly in a little box with a small amount of spring mix on the side, which I thought was soooo considerate!! Everyone knows if you put lettuce on a sandwich and grill it or heat it, the lettuce wilts! (yuck!) So now you can take your sandwich, eat there or take away, and then assemble it with your fresh, and cold spring mix and still have the fresh, cold, bite from the crisp mix that they have provided for you!!! I thought that was the greatest idea!!! Huh?!?
As it turns out, that sandwich was so big, I actually got 2 meals out of it too! So I guess it depends how big your stomach and/or appetite is, because my girlfriend was with me, and she ate all of hers in one sitting.
So, in conclusion, I will be making another trip back to the Sandwich Box, probably within the week, they have definitely found a loyal customer in me. I think the sandwich was around $7.50, and totally worth it, as far as I'm concerned. And lastly, in my humble opinion, if you have not yet made it to a Sandwich Box, YOU MUST GO AND TRY!!!!
