| - I can't say I was too thrilled when my friend Stephanie told me that she was taking me to a place called the sandwich box, the place just didn't sound very sophisticated.
I've never been too inclined towards food stuffed between slices of bread, the idea just seems too lazy. The menu was as foreign to me as the writings at Starbucks. Gourmet names for stuff in containers, I didn't bother reading it..my pointing finger was good enough to direct the people behind the counter.
I got the smoked salmon with whatever bread I ordered, in some sauce I've never seen before. The whole thing was too fancy for a place that served sandwiches, and called itself 'Box'.
There was a giant communal bench at the 'dine in' area with a giant bouquet of branches in the middle, so the anti-socials can hide behind it. The idea is as dumb to me as having dividers split down a single toilet. A huge canvas hung from the north wall with what looked like a giant broccoli painted from the puke of a hundred vegans. What's the big idea? First it's a sandwich store, then it's a trendy hipster diner, now it's a vegetarian gallery? This place tries way too hard, I think they feel the pressure of setting up a location at Yorkville so they thought they'd pull out all the stops.
So let me make it loud and clear.....IT'S A SANDWICH STORE CALLED BOX..!!
The bread I ordered almost broke my jaw, I was constantly in fear of cutting my lip on the sandwich. Stephanie was happy with her order because she didn't get bricks for bread. There's a salad station which sells packaged salad...and a cooler with plenty of drinks that most people who don't drink garlic juice would have never heard of. It's too much for sandwiches....too much.
I wonder what name they would have if they expanded their business?
Maybe; hotdog ball, salad cubicle, coffee bag....burger cup!
