Ike's at Lime: Just Like Old Times

September 29, 2010 9:10 pm · Posted by nancyeinhart

I'm back, ladies and gentlemen, and so is Ike's! After a brief blogging hiatus to tie the knot with my sandwich-loving mate, I availed myself of the newly reopened Ike's Place, serving lunch Monday through Friday at Lime, the nightclubby Castro brunch spot. Though I heard that some customers had to wait a while to get phone orders filled, I had no trouble: we called at 12:30 to pick up sammies at 1 p.m. and enjoyed them in the Jetsons-like space of Lime. Emphasis on "enjoyed" — hello old friend!

Pop Tarts as Bread: Yea or Nay?

September 17, 2010 11:56 am · Posted by nancyeinhart

I've already considered the Pop Tart ice cream sandwich, and now we have this experiment from Slate's Gastro Lab. In the video, two tinkerers try out several innovative uses of Pop Tarts, including a BLT made with Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop Tarts in place of bread. In college, low-fat Brown Suga Cinnamon Pop Tarts were my idea of a health food, so I must confess: I'd eat the crap out of this sandwich. What do you think about Pop Tarts as bread?
