A friend and I agreed the personality of the sandwich
changes with each person who prepares it, and today we felt something was a
little less than parfait with our Haloum
Grille. Folks at Le Pick Up seemed stressed. The longest wait ever, and our lunches
sat around too long. Temperature of the cheese is important to experiencing
haloumi’s firm the texture and the release of its saltiness, and I prefer when
it’s grilled directly before entering the sandwich.
Creamy spicy slaw of red
cabbage, carrot, and kale soothes the major crust burn associated with the
crispy multigrain toast. Ideally it’s the bread that should be soft and the
haloumi that gets to shine as the crispy grilled champ that it is.
Nevertheless, we stayed for hours at the back picnic tables, chatted with the servers, overheard some drama about the evening closing procedure, broke a dish, and spilled a coffee. A good day.
