House made morcilla, cebolla escabeche, spinach, fig, herbed cream cheese, fried Coulter Farm organic egg. $14
Pepe, Washington DC
This sandwich was delicious! But then I would expect it to for fourteen bucks (even from a food truck). It certainly was a fancy food truck sandwich though. The fried blood sausage was delicious and I loved its texture. And of course the runny fried egg just put it over the top.
National Harbor, Maryland.
Rare roast beef, ranch mayo, house made atomic cheese whiz. $9
Red Apron Butchery, Washington DC
Mmm, this sandwich was delicious! This was a fancy version of the Arby’s beef and cheddar sandwich (which I love, btw) and it was done right! I loved the cheese whz and the ranch mayo, and the beef was superb. Well done Red Apron!
Eisenhower Executive Office Building.
Pulled pork butt, buttermilk slaw. Happy hour $7
The Pig, Washington DC
I wasn’t expecting such a large sandwich for happy hour so it was a nice surprise. The pork was tasty as was the slaw, and I love the egg bun that it was served on. Yummy!
Eight Weeks ‘Til the Slaughter: eight week aged Manhattan. Happy hour $12
Washington Monument.
Fried chicken breast, bread and butter pickle, bacon, lettuce, cranberry relish, mayonnaise, toasted bun. $9.95
Woodward Takeout Food, Washington DC
This was a damn delicious sandwich! Maybe fried chicken and bacon aren’t the most healthy lunch options but they tasted so good together, and the fried chicken breast was tender and juicy. I also love the soft brioche bun that they used. Noms!
Little Dancer, Degas, National Gallery of Art.
$7.79
Cafe Phillips, Washington DC
I was visiting one of our other offices near Union Station and needed a place to eat lunch. I was told that this Cafe Phillips location was recently penalized by the Health Department for unsanitary practices, but I went anyway, lol! The person who told me said that they still recommend the place regardless of the violation. I actually liked this sandwich. It was warm and gooey and the turkey slices tasted great.
Hall of Nations, Kennedy Center.
House pickles, cayenne aioli. Served with French fries. Happy hour $10
Pearl Dive Oyster Palace, Washington DC
This place was jammin’ during happy hour! I was lucky enough that a gentleman was leaving the bar shortly after I arrived so I squeezed myself in. Thank goodness I’m small, hehe. I wanted to try more food than I did, but I wasn’t yet hungry. The shrimp po’ boy was very tasty though! The shrimp were cooked nicely and not greasy. I liked the flavors but thought that the bun was too thick and dry. It need more aioli or something to add some moisture. The fries were lovely though!
Sobieski vodka martini. Happy hour $7
Vodka cranberry. Happy hour $7
Lincoln Memorial.
Roast beef, pepper jack cheese, pastrami, pepperoni, turkey, ham, bacon, lettuce, jalapeno peppers, tomato on Dutch crunch bread. $5.99
Miss Tomato Sandwich Shop, San Francisco CA
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.
Union Square.
Corn beef with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing on grilled marble rye.
Royalicious Bagel Bakery, Charles Town WV
Mmm, this sandwich was delicious and really big! The corned beef tasted great and they certainly didn’t skimp on the meat or the sauerkraut. I also liked the marbled rye bread.
Nationals Park, Washington DC.
Egg, ham and cheese on a jalapeno cheddar bagel. $6.49
The Great American Bagel, Seattle-Tacoma International Airport (SEA)
The sandwich was ok. The bagel was a bit dense and chewy for my taste and I wish they could have added a bit of cream cheese or something. The ham was also of low quality.
Provolone cheese on sourdough bread. $8.50
The People’s Pub, Seattle WA
Mmm, there’s something about a warm, melted grilled cheese sandwich and tomato soup that is just SO comforting! I guess anything with that much fat, cheese, and cream is gonna be satisfying. Noms!
Lemon aioli, lettuce, tomato, avocado, served with chips. $16
Chippy’s Fish & Drink, Seattle WA
Yum, this sandwich was very tasty! The crab salad was fresh and flavorful. It was heavier on the mayo than I would have liked, but it was so delicious that I didn’t mind too much. Noms!
Ham, whiskey cheddar, apple butter and stone ground mustard on focaccia, served with side salad. $9.45
Whiskey Gulch Coffee Co., Port Orchard WA
This sandwich was good, but there was A LOT of cheese. I like cheese as much as the next guy, but there has to be come balance when it comes to a sandwich (except for a super cheesy grilled cheese perhaps). The flavors were good though and the salad was great.
