I’m finally catching up on all the posts I missed while I was travelling. And this post on sandwiches reminds me of the blog The Girl who ate everything, by Robyn Lee. She loves her sandwiches (sammiches) and takes pictures of all the innards (bites into a sandwich and takes the photo). She’s made me want to fly to NYC pronto, just to go on an eating tour with her.

One sandwich I want to try in New York soon is the cubano, it sounds divine and deadly to the arteries. A trip to New York just for food! Heaven.

Will you post about Grom’s soon?

MM, those sandwiches look divine… Are there recipes of them in the cookbook? For a better chance at securing a table, drop by at off-hours like 3pm-ish. You must try the French Onion Soup, yum yum YUM!

Mikoy, I agree that Shake Shack burgers are better than Burger Joint (better ambiance too)! It’s surprising that new yorkers who always seem to be in such a rush are so willing to line up for up to an hour to feed their burger habits, but the burgers, cheese fries and frozen custards really hit the spot like no other burger can. Next time, try the Shack Stack: two thick beef patties, cheese and a huge thick, crispy-fried portobello mushroom.

Apicio, WHERE do you find these things?? It took a while to download, but yes, for readers curious about the interiors, the link is an interesting one…

For those of you who are curious about the simple interior of Balthasar restaurant when it is not packed, there is a snippet of it in this file, starting just past the one and a half minute mark of the flick.

Mikoy, we passed shake shack twice while on cab rides going uptown. We really wanted to try it but the timing was off. I like most of Danny Meyer’s restaurants and I am certain he did a nice job with the shack in the park… perhpas next time. Glad you enjoyed Daniel’s… we always seem to have a great meal there.
