Sandwich Planet

We're still in the process of unpacking and our apartment is full of stuff, so we have been getting a lot of takeout and delivery.  Last night we decided to order dinner from Sandwich Planet, a local place we've been to a few times.  Sandwich Planet also happens to be the first place we ate after moving in to the old unit all those years ago and now it's the first meal we ate (although this time, delivery) after officially leaving the old unit.  Don't think we planned it that way but it's a nice coincidence.

We ordered a fresh mozzarella caprese appetizer since we love caprese salads ($6):

The salad came with four large square slices of mozzarella, topped with slices of bright red tomatoes and plenty of basil leaves.  One of M's big disappointments with caprese salads is that sometimes there isn't enough basil, but this was not a problem here.  It was a generous portion for an appetizer.

We also got a side of potato salad ($4):

The potato salad was very creamy and, although you could taste some actual pieces of potato, much of it was just creamy potato mayo. It was almost like mayo mashed potato. The flavoring was pretty good, though, even if it would have been nice to have more potato.

M got the South of the Border Churasco ($9.20):

The South of the Border comes with jack cheese, salsa, guacamole, and jalapeno peppers, to which M added sauteed onions.  The chicken was a little too dry and the whole sandwich was a bit messy with the overflowing salsa, but it was a good combination.  The sandwich is on the large size so it's also kind of heavy.

A got a Reuben Sandwich with added sauteed onions ($8.50):

A loves corned beef in all forms and Reubens are always right up his alley. It's the mix of salty, cured meat and cheese with the tart sauerkraut and russian dressing that just seems right to him. However, this corned beef was a little muted with regards to flavor. It was nice and fatty, though, so that made up for it a little. The sauerkraut and russian dressing were virtually non-existent which was very disappointing. The onions added a little sweetness to the sandwich, but it wasn't enough to salvage the meal for A.

There are other healthier and better options for delivery, so we don't order often from Sandwich Planet, but it was nice beginning and ending our stay in the old unit with the same place, even if we didn't do it on purpose.  Ready for the next stage of our journey!
