Serious bar food: bacon lettuce avocado Swiss and tomato sandwich. Also tater tots and fried pickles. Yum.

On the Phone: American Grilled Cheese

In honor of QA testing today, the company treated us to sandwiches from the much hyped American Grilled Cheese Kitchen. Apparently they were a little backed up; it took three hours to get our sandwiches! Tasty but . . . I mentioned it's a grilled cheese, right?

I ordered the Moscone: fresh mozzarella, fontina, roasted tomatoes, basil-lavender pesto, and kalamata olive tapenade.

Last night's post happy hour dinner: sweet pulled pork sandwich with North Carolina-style mustard BBQ sauce at Memphis Minnie's, one of the stops on my 10-sandwich tour of the US in San Francisco.

Ending 2010 on a high ham and cheese note, with cucumber, mustard, cranberry apple jelly, lettuce, and pea shoots.

With pickled ginger and bean sprouts.

On the Phone: Early Start Sandwich

As a reward for having to start working early today, I had an egg and cheese bagel sandwich at Oasis Cafe. Though devoid of atmosphere, this place has wonderful coffee and friendly service, and it isn't annoyingly overpriced or inefficient like the Matching Half up the street.

On the Phone: Egg Salad Sunday

Libby's egg salad on sandwich thins. Chips, of course, are essential to scoop up the overflow.

On the Phone: Smoked Trout at the Sentinel

nancyeinhart — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 12:45:07 PDT

As a wedding sendoff, my fellow editors organized a sandwich excursion today to The Sentinel. Awww, thanks guys! I got the smoked trout with fennel and tarragon. The sweet baked bread was a perfect foil to the bold fish and the aromatic fennel.

On the Phone: Giving Golden West a Try

nancyeinhart — Thu, 16 Sep 2010 13:55:05 PDT

Today I picked up an eggplant, tomato, goat cheese, and basil sandwich at Golden West, the new lunch spot from the Canteen and Sentinel chef, Dennis Leary. Like The Sentinel, the homemade bread is divine, perfect as a sweet complement to the goat cheese. But also like The Sentinel, it was a mess to eat. Maybe that is why they gave me a fork!
