You Say Sandwich, We Say Yeah!

At first, not salty enough, though the curried creaminess dotted with mango and raisins builds in flavour and eventually, I don’t question it anymore. Still, the logic of tomato and lettuce on this sandwich escapes me. A crispy green apple might work better, but at the end of the day I've got no complaints because "The Potrero Hill" (as it's called at Klein's) ranks as the best airport sandwich in recent memory.

After big steaming bowls of Eat at 903 ramen were sold out on a rainy Saturday afternoon in SF, I opted for the delicious pulled chicken sandwich with delicately pickled cucumbers on brioche. It was so packed with big chunks of chicken doused in creamy peanut sauce that the sandwich could be handily split into an open-face. I hoped for something to warm me up, and had the pulled chicken been more than room temperature, this sandwich would have soared to amazing heights. As it was the little chili kick was very restorative for a cold day. Other must-try Japanese with a French twist items on the menu are: Crispy Shrimp Ball sandwich and Waffles with Fried Chicken and seaweed! Also head across the street on Cortland for an Americano and pastry at Chef Mutsumi Takehara's brilliant Sandbox Bakery. 903 Cortland. Open for Brunch and Lunch till 3 PM.

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is the perfect fried egg sandwich. Six dollars worth of extraordinary pleasure including cheddar, tomato, pancetta, and pepper garlic aioli. Two bread options for your fancy, but the pain de mie is definitely the way to go. Precita Park Cafe has a sister spot just off Delores Park, so it's possible to satisfy the fried egg sandwich cravings in a couple locations. They will come soon, mark my words. If in the Delores location, you could follow your new breakfast obsession with a pint of Salted Caramel ice cream from Bi-Rite. 

Whole pieces of freshly roasted turkey, made in house, thick and still sizzling crispy bacon that melts in your mouth like chocolate, mayo, crisp lettuce and real tomatoes. Yep, this is the real deal. I really appreciate when bacon goes into my sandwich hot. Other sandwiches on offer include a straight up BLT, Grilled Cheese, Steak Florentine and Pear and Gorgonzola, with loads of great desserts, beer and breakfast to boot. No one seemed shy about having a craft beer with lunch on a Saturday at noon. Felt a little chintzed by the tiny side bowls of chili, but I've had a very satisfying full bowl of that before, though it seems the recipe has changed since to include more rice or barley.  The Grove is across from SFMOMA and the Museum of the African Diaspora, making it the perfect museum lunch that's not actually in the museum.
