Golden raisins, basil. $14
Rose’s Luxury, Washington DC

It’s cool that a simple ingredient like golden raisins can totally change the game for a pasta dish like this. That simple addition enlivened this dish and made it interesting and new. Very cool…

Roast beef, pepper jack cheese, pastrami, pepperoni, turkey, ham, bacon, lettuce, jalapeno peppers, tomato on Dutch crunch bread. $5.99

This sandwich was good, but not as spectacular as Ike’s. The Dutch crunch bread that I got was also a bit stale. I did like the combination of ingredients for this specialty sandwich though.
