I finally got around to trying Laduca's, this is after being a frequent visitor of Minuto's which was formerly in its spot. I'm not a fan of Boar's Head meats which is what they serve so I opted to order an Eggplant Parm sandwich. I was told it'd be up in 5 minutes, it actually took 25. I took the sandwich to go, along with 4 links of hot Italian sausage. By the time I got back to my office to eat my lunch (less than 10 minutes) my sandwich was a soggy mess. This can be a good thing, but in this case it wasn't. This became a greasy disaster. I dislike when eggplant is masked by fried flavor. This was just that. I couldn't taste the eggplant at all, it could've been fried anything buried in acidic tomato sauce.
I took the links home to grill. I haven't had much luck finding tasty sausage since Minuto's closed, I was hopeful Laduca's would be good. They were actually spicy, which was great because far too often "spicy" is purely mild. The sausages were dry and had a really chunky texture. I prefer a finer grind of the meat, and I assume more fat, because I like them juicy and bursting with flavor. Aside from the spice these lacked any rich flavor. I guess my search continues...
