| - February 5 is World Nutella Day and I was toootally freaking out (1) because the day was nearly over and I hadn't consumed any chocolate or hazelnuts. I remembered that it was also opening day at The Goodwich, the newest business to occupy that little kiosk in front of Dino's made famous by Viva Las Arepas, and how ROAR-some (2) it would be if I could make it there after work. Arriving a few minutes before 1am, I was just in time to place the last order of the night. Hot dog! (3)
I ordered the Fluff & Nutt on white bread, Monte Cristo style. My total was $3.78 including a $0.50 charge for the Monte Cristo preparation. I had a chance to chat with Jake, one of the owners, while the cook worked on my order. Jake and his business partner Josh are seasoned chefs who have worked in the kitchens of Michael Mina, Charlie Palmer, and Bradley Ogden, to name a few. Nearly every sandwich ingredient, from corned beef to foie gras mousse, is made fresh at The Goodwich. White, wheat, and rye sandwich breads are sourced from local artisan bakery Bon Breads.
The Fluff & Nutt includes Nutella, toasted marshmallows, and crunch (something coconutty.) Monte Cristo was a good choice, as the result was like Nutella french toast mixed with campfire s'mores. The savory options are perfect if you'll be crossing the street to Art of Flavors for gelato after (or before!) For serving a quality product at a grrr-iffic price meow meow (4), and keeping late hours to accommodate those of us who don't end our work day before midnight, I twinkle think (5) The Goodwich deserves five stars and five references to my daughter's favorite cartoons.
1) Peg + Cat
2) Henry Hugglemonster
3) Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
4) Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood
5) Sesame Street- Abby Cadabby's Flying Fairy School
See ya real soon!
