I've been on a desperate hunt for the perfect pesto chicken sandwich for years now. Every few months, the craving overcomes me, and I opt to try one somewhere in the city. Today, it was time for Jason's Deli.
I opted to build my own sandwich with chicken, pesto, jalapeƱos, and pepper jack on focaccia. All the sandwiches come with your choice of chips. I opted for the baked, but I didn't even eat them. I would much rather have fries.
The pesto was great. They added plenty to the sandwich. The chicken was also good. I wish the sandwich had been warmer - the cheese wasn't even melted. The jalapeƱos were pickled. I really only prefer fresh, so I took these off. My biggest complaint was the bread. It was closer to a ciabatta than a focaccia. The bread was a bit too crusty and chewy for my liking.
Overall, the sandwich was fine.
The service was a little bit rough. The staff all seemed super confused. Only half of a sandwich came out because they apparently forgot to put the other half on the plate...Oops.
This wouldn't be my first choice, but it wasn't a bad meal.
