Counterpoint: Ike's Place is Fucking Awesome

My esteemed colleague (see "Point" review below) purports to be an expert on sandwiches, and claims his "thoughts" on Ike's Place's Meatless Mike is the end-all, be-all in sandwich reviewery. And though Ed attempts to provide comprehensive insight, he just plain misses the mark. Here's why:

1. Ed writes, "The "meatballs" seemed house-made, the bread was flavorful, spongy, chewy, the cold toppings worked wonders with the hot sandwich filling and bread." True the meatballs seemed house-made and the bread was flavorly, spongy, blah blah blah. But what he failed to denote is that the meatballs and bread and toppings were fucking awesome. Seriously FUCKING AWESOME. Even those deprived of taste would agree. Yet Ed, for whatever reason, neglected to point this out. Hiding something, sir?

2. "Ike's is just like living in paradise. . .and I don't wanna go home," says Ed. Ike's is not like living in paradise. It isn't like anything. Ike's is paradise. Ike's is, even after eating just one sandwich, without a doubt the most fuckingly ridiculously awesome fake meat sandwich purveyor in these United States. And I lived in Milwaukee for 6 years.

They also give you a Tootsie Pop with your meal. Did I also mention that it was the perfect amount of food? Because it was. The only thing I wished for was my sandwich in my face faster. Considering that, on a scale of 1 to 2, 2 being "totally awesome" and 1 being "so not awesome," I give it a 2.
