| - Wow...my God...what on earth did I just stumble upon?? So, I was flying over late from Denver to Phoenix and just wanted to grab a quick bite on my way to my hotel. KA-BAM! Why is it I continue to find these great little nuggets around the Tempe area?? Every time I visit here, I keep finding these amazing local little places serving up incredibly delicious eats!!
And dear God...Ike's is quite possibly one of the best sandwiches I've ever eaten!!!
No lie.
So I must add...the three young kids (youn adults...forgive me) working at Ike's tonight we're beyond incredible...in fact, let's just call them awesome. They all, and I mean all three of them added a bit of warmth and sincerity to my experience - something you just don't see very often...(right Aldo?). Lol
Anyway...Ike - please give these kids a raise!! Well, not to assume you're not paying them well- just recognize that you are very blessed to have such an enthusiastic and creative crew of workers. I really can't get over at how frigg'en friendly and helpful they here to me tonight...seriously. They came out from behind the counter, went over the menu with me, made solid suggestions but only after qualifying me (again, another anomaly) and then, they all did their part making me this amazing amazing work of art - wow. I'm so mad at myself for not getting their names - they truly need to be recognized!! They were just great kids - period!
I went with a homegrown half pastrami and half turkey sandwich on their French Roll...one side was dressed with their god father sauce and the other had this garlic aioli...both extremely yummy and All homemade of course. A little tomato and onion and trust me, this ship just found its harbor...into the belly it went!
I'm stuffed, I'm happy, my belly hurts cause I ate waaaaaay too much but again, I'm very very very happy!! That was a great sandwich - thank you Baby Jesus...
This is the type of sandwich and experience that one just doesn't get very often, or ever...for that matter - I can't wait to go back!!!
Please open one in New Mexico!! Please??
