I generally think that I'm not a fan of sandwiches. Then I have a good sandwich, and I have to rethink my thinking.
I swung by Vermont Sandwich Company today for lunch. It's a cool little sandwich shop. The inside is small, but there's a decent patio area out front where we sat to eat.
There were a lot of tempting options, but I went with a half Backhome Meatloaf sandwich, a cup of French onion soup and a side of macaroni salad.
The French onion soup was very good. It wasn't over loaded with cheese, leaving the actual broth and onions to take the lead role. I liked that. There were also bread cubes added which gave a nice texture.
The mac salad was awesome. Nicely cooked macaroni, not over done. It also wasn't swimming in dressing. Much like the French onion soup, it let its namesake (the macaroni) stand out rather than just fade in with the other ingredients. It wasn't too sweet like some mac salads either. Very good.
The meat loaf sandwich was good. It Did have a bit of sweetness to it which was probably from the balsamic maple vinaigrette. I wasn't crazy about that. The meatloaf itself was good, but the sandwich was struggling to keep itself together. It wasn't too big of a deal. It didn't survive very long anyway. I don't think I'd get it again, but I'm glad I tried it.
Lastly, I had one of their homemade cookies... the Classic Chocolate Chip. It was actually taken straight from the baking sheet and served to me. It was wonderful.
An excellent spot for lunch.
