| rev:text | 	Capriotti's is OK, I guess. It gets constant hype here in Las Vegas, and they definitely have some good sandwiches.
But I'm from Jersey. And when I think of a submarine sandwich, I don't think of turkey and stuffing, or pastrami and cole slaw.
Ask me to imagine a sub and I'll close my eyes and picture a Jersey Mike's #13.
I've said it before and I'll say it again - a great sandwich starts with great bread, in this case a soft, crusty roll dusted with a ton of cornmeal.
Meats and cheeses are sliced to order, cut thin and piled high. In the case of the #13, we're talking about ham, prosciuttini, cappacuolo, salami, pepperoni and provolone.
There aren't a ton of veggie choices, "Mike's Way" is the traditional lettuce, tomato, onion, spices and oil and vinegar, aka "the juice." This is definitely a place where sticking to tradition pays off.
That's it - no gimmicky sauces, no toasters. Just a great, authentic Jersey Shore style sandwich.
Their cheesesteaks are also pretty fantastic, a much more moist and well-blended steak and cheese mix than Cap's steaks. It's not a POP'S whiz wit, but it doesn't claim to be.
The sandwiches are fairly expensive but so, so, so good - and I get coupons in my inbox and mailbox every month. And besides, for a taste of home like this? Well worth it. |
