| - Can we just say AH-MAZING.?
Amazing to find that one of San Francisco's BeSt sandwich shops has not only expanded throughout Northern California, but found a home not far from the ASU Campus...
Okay, when I first stepped into the Ike's on 16th Street in the City, I didn't. I actually stood in line OUTSIDE the small shop for a while before ordering. Yes, it's THAT popular.
And when I did, i fell in love with the menu. Sandwiches with fun names, some silly, some famous.
I ordered for our group : Barry Z., Barry B., and a Lincecum!!!,
I ask you, how could I not love a place that names sandwiches after iconic SF Giants players?
Flash forward a few years. Here we are in Arizona to visit family AND watch the World Series together. Wouldn't it be great to have some yummy San Francisco treat? I'm not talking Rice-A-Roni... Low and behold, Ike's has a shop on Mills Avenue.
I got to meet Chase, the person bringing this little piece of sandwich heaven to Tempe. What a nice young man. Instant adoration since we were both sporting our Giants gear. Too fun. And when my order proved too big for me to carry, he helped me out to my car. Great service!
I do hope this shop becomes very successful. The sandwiches are very Yum. Too many to describe. Check out their website for sandwich descriptions and know that no matter what the location, they make ANY sandwich on all of their menus....
Next time we are in Tempe, we will be back. And of course during Spring Training, when we are in town to cheer on our Giants! I fully expect to wait in line, once the locals and college kids discover this new treasure....
