Spit roasted porchetta sandwich – Split Bread

Spit roasted porchetta sandwich - Split Bread
Crispy cracklings, balsamic onion marmalade, arugula on toasted ciabatta. $11.95
Split Bread, San Francisco CA

This sandwich was really dry! The ciabatta was dry, the pork was dry, the undressed arugula was dry, the cracklings were dry. 😦 They really need more sauce on this thing, or at least dress the arugula lightly. I liked the balsamic onion marmalade though, and the overall flavor of the sandwich was good besides being super dry.

Fried shrimp po’boy – Southern Comfort Kitchen

Fried shrimp po'boy - Southern Comfort Kitchen
Golden fried shrimp on a French rook, vinaigrette cole slaw, tomatoes, pickles, and original remoulade sauce. $12
Southern Comfort Kitchen, San Francisco CA

Mmm, this po’boy was really good! I liked everything except for the bread that they used – it was so thick and kinda difficult to chew through. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and I loved their remoulade sauce. I also like that they added pickles to the sandwich. It really gave the slaw an added acidic punch.

Mary’s spicy fried chicken sandwich – Red Dog Restaurant

Mary's spicy fried chicken sandwich - Red Dog Restaurant
Habanero-honey sauce, creamy coleslaw, served with fries. Restaurant week lunch $15
Red Dog Restaurant, San Francisco CA

I didn’t realized this was going to arrive was two sandwiches, score! The fried chicken tasted great. I loved the slight spiciness of it and the batter was nice and flavorful. The chicken was a bit greasy and soggy, but the flavor kind of made up for it. The sauce was wonderful though and I got a side of it just to dip my fries into. Noms!

Crispy coronation chicken sandwich – The Cavalier

Crispy coronation chicken sandwich - The Cavalier
Spiced curry aioli, gem lettuce and coriander sprouts, served with salad of seasonal greens. $15
The Cavalier, San Francisco CA

This sandwich was pretty good, but I was so appalled by the horrible service that I could not enjoy my lunch. I literally ate about half of this sandwich and left. Bad service doesn’t deserve a return visit. Way to go, Cavalier! 😦

Madison Bumgarner sandwich – Ike’s Place

Madison Bumgarner sandwich - Ike's Place
Thinly sliced ribeye, Ike’s yellow bbq sauce, light habanero salsa, pepper jack cheese, American cheese, banana peppers, pickles, and onions on French bread. $12.21
Ike’s Place, San Francisco CA

I usually love sandwiches that are stuffed with A LOT of meat (because I’m a pig), but I can honestly say that I still like Ike’s sandwiches that overdo the meat filling. It’s actually a nice balance of protein, bread, veggies, and sauces. Ok, maybe they overdo the sauces but that’s just how I like it! 🙂

Prosciutto and mozzarella panini – Boxed Foods Company

Prosciutto and mozzarella panini - Boxed Foods Company
Prosciutto americano, fresh mozzarella, lemon zest, arugula, citrus-garlic aioli. Served with side salad. $11
Boxed Foods Company, San Francisco CA

This sandwich was pretty tasty! It was filled with plenty of prosciutto and mozzarella, and the arugula was a great addition. The exterior was also wonderfully buttery and grilled. Noms!

Lox sandwich – Hilton Seattle Airport

Lox sandwich - Hilton Seattle Airport
Cured salmon, scrambled eggs, red onions, tomatoes, Swiss cheese, bagel. $5.95
Hilton Seattle Airport, SeaTac WA

This sandwich was on the dry side, but it was free so I can complain too much. I liked that you got to choose items from their coffee shop for complimentary breakfast items.

Jim Bean manhattan - Hilton Seattle Airport
Jim Bean manhattan. Don’t worry, I didn’t have this for breakfast, lol! I grabbed this at the hotel bar the night before. 🙂

Ham and jack panini – Il Canto Cafe

Ham and jack panini - Il Canto Cafe
With honey mustard and sliced tomatoes. Served with Italian wedding soup. Combo $8.55
Il Canto Cafe, San Francisco CA

This lunch combination was pretty good! And nicely priced. The panini was served hot and melty, just how I like it. The wedding soup was good, but it was served WAY too hot. I still could eat it very quickly towards the end of lunch because it somehow stayed hot the entire time. This place is definitely worth a re-visit.

The Cuban panini – Atlas Tap Room

The Cuban panini - Atlas Tap Room
Rosemary roasted pork loin, smoked ham, Swiss cheese, garlic aioli, burgundy mustard, pickles and marinated onions served on rye. With potato chips and pickles. $12
Atlas Tap Room, San Francisco CA

This sandwich was ok. Their bread choice definitely wasn’t hefty enough to hold up to the amount of filling in this panini. The sandwich ended up feeling very limp and sogging in my hands. I liked the overall flavors, but there wasn’t much finesse.
