cblj_backupI've been hearing about this sandwich shop called Grahamwich since it opened on State Street near my work a while back, but I've never been in because I've always either been too broke or in too much of a hurry to get home. It's a weird little boutique kind of place, sort of like a cafe without the coffee. They do a few sandwiches, a few salads, gourmet chips and popcorn, and sell weird beverages. Also greek frozen yoghurt, which is apparently the big draw.
Anyway, I finally decided to try it out because I had some shopping to do in the area anyway, justifying the expense because I'd saved ten dollars on said shopping, and also because I'd heard their grilled cheese sandwich -- made with cheddar, fresh cheese curds, and tomato relish -- was outstanding. It's a pretty good sandwich, but for $8 I expected more than I got. It tasted like a nice hot grilled cheese sandwich, but that was all. I will say that tomato relish is a lot more to my taste than the usual tomato slices that gourmet places insist on ruining good grilled cheese with.
IT TURNS OUT I HAVE STRONGLY HELD OPINIONS ABOUT GRILLED CHEESE.
They do have delicious ranch-bacon potato chips, though.
I kind of had the same feeling about Grahamwich that I had about MBurger -- it's a decent enough meal, but there's more food for cheaper and with better ambiance nearby, in this case a block south at the Weber Kettle Grill. Or a couple of blocks east at Burger Joint, my beloved hamburger speakeasy.

Date: 2012-08-09 02:07 am (UTC)I hate their website. Granted, I hate most restaurant websites. Just show me the menu without a bunch of other crap or flash stuff or other animation.
I am cranky tonight, if you couldn't tell.
Oh, and I have strong opinions on grilled cheese, too. American, sourdough, and lots of butter. That is all.
