I SO wanted to go here after word of mouth and fellow yelper reviews had me super excited. So we went after our Wigle Whiskey tour and WOW! Am I glad I did!! I knew that the owners were classically trained and had worked at one of my favorite top end restaurants, Isabela's on Grandview, but didn't know that level of sophistication could be applied to the common sandwich. But oh, my friends, these are NOT common sandwiches! I was blown away! Temptation stares you in the face as you look at the chalkboard menu complete with scratch outs as items sell out.
I was fortunate to have had the wisdom/luck to order the Korean BBQ Beef brisket which has haunted me ever since. Can a sandwich really be that good?? I'm ruined forever! Tender BBQ Korean brisket, pickled bean sprouts (you read that right) and snow peas and a fresh baguette - it put a smile on my face for days. And left a craving for more I can't quite satisfy.
My wife got the Sweet and Sour pork with roasted apricots, honey and thyme which was good but not as good as mine. My daughter got the grilled paneer with green mango and coriander chutney on a pita. I had some of that (naturally!) and can say it was AWESOME!! Next time I'm gonna get the Il Bastardo cause I love fresh mortadella - that is, if I can exercise some restraint and not get that brisket....
