TOM COLICCHIO'S SANDWICH PLACE! I was really excited to see that it was one of tom colicchio's restaurants but it was pretty disappointing to me. My friend and I ordered the roasted turkey, avocado, bacon, balsamic onions & mayo, ciabatta sandwich and the blackened steak, white cheddar, romesco sauce & grilled scallions, country bread panini so we can both try half half. I wouldn't say it was horrible...but honestly it really wasn't anything special. If I was to pay that price for this kind of sandwich then honestly I'm just never gonna come back again. I mean there is another wonderful sandwich place that opens 24/7 at planet hollywood called Earl's so i might as well get their sandwich for $6 and it's around the same size.
Back to the point...I honestly liked the roasted turkey sandwich a bit more than the flank steak panini because i thought the turkey was pretty good. It looked pretty dry but i guess the looks is deceiving. I thought the turkey was roasted just right for it to have the right texture and it wasn't dry at all. Honestly it was the bread that totally turned me off. It didn't make sense to me...i mean if you give me a wonderful bread to go along with the wonderful toppings then I might just might...give it a 4 but the bread just make me kinda disgusted. I don't know what it was...but I feel like it was kinda powdery or something but I didn't like the bread at all.
The flank steak panini sounds a lot better than it actually was. I mean there wasn't anything wrong with the panini but it definitely didnt wow me for $10. I mean i guess the steak was pretty fresh and all but I think like they are missing a lot inside toppings. I think the panini only had the steak and grilled scallions inside besides the sauce...I think it could be a lot better if they added carmelized onions and it might just be wonderful but it was a panini full of disappointment.
