Portobello Mushroom Mood Lifter

02/05/2010 - 5:42AM · Posted by nancyeinhart

Sometimes, when I'm in a bad mood, all it takes is a good sandwich to make me feel better. (In extreme cases, I turn to the PMS muffin 'wich.) Often, this sandwich needs to be obtained right away, but sadly, my neighborhood is lacking in sandwich destinations, especially compared to my old place right next door to Estela's.

In search of a mood lifter, I recently turned to the Bean Bag Coffee House, which I've lived within a mile radius of for like five years and never been to. I ordered the grilled portobello mushroom sandwich, expecting it to be mediocre. It was actually quite lovely! The perfectly marinated mushrooms came with tomatoes, caramelized onions, spinach, roasted red peppers, and gorgonzola cheese, all warm and melty. 

My only modification was getting it on a roll instead of focaccia, which I usually find too oily to serve as a sandwich vehicle. How do you feel about focaccia as sandwich bread?

I feel that any sandwich bread is okay unless the sandwich bread is actually pancakes -- thus I advise all of you to not make the same mistake I did at the McDonalds drivethrough and accidentally order the McGriddle. Focaccia would have been like heaven compared to that monstrosity.
