I heard news this morning that that my current favorite sandwich place is up for sale. The Brooklyn Grinder makes top notch soups, salads and sandwiches, including grinders, on the north end of University Way.
Folks that know me well are aware that I'm a bit of a sandwich junkie. Always looking for the perfect Italian, the well made sub or grinder that drops me back for a moment into those subs of my childhood, DeAngelo's or Ricotti's was the great rivalry. One could also get great hot sandwiches from pizza places.
So I've been all over Seattle looking for that perfect sub. I have made a few myself, giving some moments of sanity to Tina and I when we worked in the group home together. Safeway sourdough, fresh baked and inconsistent as hell. I sometimes would take fifteen minutes picking out the right loaf, looking for that perfect balance of soft and crusty.
The SUBS on 50th and University has always been good to me. Their Italian choices come oh so close to home. Under the old management the quality was inconsistent enough that I got one or two bummer for every ten or fifteen good ones. Its now under new management and I have not been there enough to judge the quality.
Jersey Mike's in Renton by Ikea is my other preferred place. Slice the meat fresh, olive oil and vinegar and the right spices gets the good East Coast Flavor but its too far for me to get to on a regular basis. http://www.jerseymikes.com/
Bringing me back to the Brooklyn Grinder. Great food, rock and roll with the owner in a band. A solid hot Italian grinder, home made potato or pasta salad. I finally found a place that hit the spots I was looking for and now its for sale. I'll miss it and its great owners too. Back on the sub hunt for me.
More on sandwiches some other time..
