| - The weather was perfect for dining outside, so we did just that. At 11AM on a Sunday morning, the restaurant was sparsely occupied, and most of the other patrons at brunch were also seated outdoors.
This was our second time at Craftsman in a week, so we were pretty familiar with the menu (a nice variety of bar foods). My friend ordered the Cuban Pork Sandwich with the hand-cut fries, while I got the Craftsman Burger and substituted the hand-cut fries for sweet potato fries. If you are in the market for some protein&carbs, you really can't go wrong with either.
The Craftsman Burger was a basic bacon and cheese burger. I asked for it medium well, and it came out perfectly juicy - I think if I'd gone with medium it would have been a little too undercooked for my liking. I'm a huge fan of sharp cheddar, so I really appreciated that component of the burger as well.
The Cuban Sandwich was delicious as well. They were certainly very generous with the meat and pickles, and I loved the combo of the hot/cold deli meats! :9 I must say that the Craftsman's Cuban is one of the best I've ever had.
The sweet potato fries were another highlight of the meal. If you are already planning on taking the...less healthy route (fries instead of greens), you might as well substitute the regular fries (which looked like strips of fried potato skin) for a mound of sweet potato fries. You will regret it later when you need to loosen your belt by a couple of notches, but it's wellll worth it!
The portions were ridiculously huge and neither the sandwich nor the burger should have been consumed by any one individual, but we were famished so we had an excuse (yea right). A mid-day food coma courtesy of Craftsman was a great way to our Sunday afternoon. (:
