I've been hearing good things about The Goodwich so I didn't know what to expect. The yelp reviews and pics seemed pretty standard (ie: like mine) but still had a certain appeal of "not just another sandwich." I decided to just wing it and pick something out when I got there. First thing I noticed was the soup special written in chalk "smoked cauliflower brisket stew." Sold. Now I gotta pick a sandwich, and the "Patty" was suggested.
Remember when u were growing up and made random sandwiches with whatever ingredients u had in the fridge and there was like 3 out of 100 of those sandwiches that were just magical but u could never figure out how to replicate that magic no matter how hard u tried... well that's the Patty. Ground beef, smoked cream cheese, onion, & pepperjack (I chose white bread, basically cuz I hate bread but I gotta choose one). The beef is seasoned perfectly, and with the mix of the melted cheeses and onion, every bite is better than the last.
The only thing that could've made the soup better would be a scoop of rice, but I'm not complaining because it was ultra satisfying, hearty but not too thick. Nice chunks of brisket and a good dose of cauliflower to balance the texture.
This is my new go-to spot for the good eats!
