just my 'magination. . .

So it's been hella long since I've posted on the blog about sandwiches. . .but word out on the street (specifically, 24th Street in old San Francisco) is that there is a cheesesteak place offering not one, not two, but three non-seitan vegetarian options.

There is a portabello (or is it portabella) mushroom sandwich that sounds insane.  A tofu cheesesteak that seems like it'd be worth trying is on the menu as well.  I'm not sure on the third one, as I have yet to go to this storied sandwich spot.

Oh, and also, there's a Newcastle cheddar sauce (kind of like when Bobby Flay made a provolone cheese wiz on the cheesesteak episode of "Throwdown", but less, I don't know, stupid?).  Tim, if you want me to wait to scope this place out with you, you have about two hours in which to contact me.

They're Back

The BRUNCH team at the Davis Farmer's Market expanded to five members this weekend, allowing them to pump out 3 types of egg sandwiches (the classic greens and goat cheese, the standard cheddar and bacon, and the NKOTB asparagus, bacon, and parmasean) and two drinks (muddled mint iced tea and Meyer lemonade). I went for the asparagus, sans bacon...because I wanted my mind to be blown. This happened. The aspargus seemed young; the pieces were slight and delecate rather than woody. They were halved lenthwise and then sauteed. The parm was not overwelming, and added nuttiness and depth.

They need to open a restaurant
