| - In my quest to continue trying different places for fast lunches in the financial district, I found some rave reviews of this place.
I'd say this place is average.
I got the eggplant and chicken sandwhich $7 and change
Let me paint you the picture. Long line up but the people behind the counter are quick. Once they say yell "next order" at you, you better yell your order right back, followed by a "please"
The woman slaps on a mixture of tomato sauce, onions mushrooms and then 1 breaded chicken+ 2 breaded eggplant. It's massive. 2 meals for sure.
While the poeple behind the counter aren't especially nice, they do have an Italian charm to them that makes you smile
Now you unwrap your delightful sandwich, but the flavour is less than a taste explosion.
Maybe I'm too spoiled with the ridiculously fatty sauces they put on EVERYthing these days, but there's something very bland about the toppings.
However, if you pick apart the sandwhich and eat it one ingredient at a time, it IS rather good. the chicken ad eggplant? fab. the bread- I never order white bread anymore, let alone a kaiser bun..but i have to say the pedestrian nature of it was a pleasant experience.
The tomato sauce is good. and they don't load any spices (not even pepper or salt) to season any of the toppings/ingredients.
It's a simple and decent sandwhich. That being said, I would not go again.
