It was a good time to go as it was a Saturday and it was around 2:30pm so we avoided the lunch rush and also avoided the weekday lunch traffic. It's a long narrow room and the waiters all look somewhat like 1920s newsboys with the hats. They have a large menu on the wall with the sandwiches, some snacks including the Truffled popcorn we got, desserts, drinks and breakfast foods. All of the sandwiches sounded amazing so it was incredibly hard for me to choose one. Chelsea has read that the Bahn Mie was great so she ordered that. I asked the girl at the counter what her top 2 choices were to which she replied the whitefish sandwich or the Reuben (the Reuben apparently has this cheese fondue spread over it...sounds delicious but messy). Then she said the turkey sandwich is another popular dish. As usual, I never pick the waiter's favorite dish, I have no idea why I ask them, because I went with the turkey sandwich.
Chelsea's Bahn Mie was huge and she said it was delicious, while I felt like my turkey sandwich was a great size (or maybe it's because I like to eat more). My turkey sandwich had candied yams, srujana, turkey (the good kind, not the lunchmeat kind), cranberries and sage mayo on a soft roll. It was amazing! We also ordered the Truffled popcorn with sea salt, pepper, chives and Parmesan. They were very liberal with the parmesan and it was very tasty!
I will definitely go back there as I'd like to try their whole wall of sandwiches (there were probably 10 to choose from) and it was delicious. Also, if you're every shopping off Michigan Ave, it's very convenient and is located on State Street between Ohio and Ontario.
