Boar Sandwiches

Sandwiches, sometimes you just have a craving for a really good sandwich.  I’m not talking about a cold deli sandwich.  I’m talking about a piping hot sandwich.  I looked my trusty Yelp app, and initially all I could find was the Black Camel.  I know a lot of people who love the sandwiches at Black Camel, but I don’t know, I wasn’t a huge fan of it.  I then saw Boar.  Don't be fooled and think that Boar only offers pork options!  They have chicken, beef, pork and veggie options.  Pick your meat (or veggies) and your toppings to make your own sandwich, done.  

The decor is a bit lacking, concrete everything.  Kind of makes you feel like you're in an unfinished basement, or jail cell.  But the smells of barbeque made everything all better.  I chose chicken topped with tomato sauce and arugula.  The hubby got steak (I don't see steak as an option on their website, but I'm pretty sure he didn't order the veal) topped with arugula aioli and mushrooms.  We had to wait around 10 minutes for the sandwiches to be prepared, a sign the meat is only cooked after you order.  The bun was like a ciabatta bun, so it was crispy on the outside, and slightly chewy on the inside, which I loved.  The meats were grilled really well, had good char, and juicy on the inside.  I liked the beef over the chicken, just by a slight margin.  We also got a side order of the roasted potatoes.  They were AMAZING!  Super crispy on the outside and super soft and fluffy on the inside.  The only downside was that the portion size was a bit small for the price we paid.

Delica Kitchen

Some days, all I want is a sandwich, a good sandwich made from fresh ingredients.  But it's weird, something this simple is actually hard to find.  And no, Subway, Mr. Sub, those places just won't do it for me.  I like the crusty artisan breads.  We popped by Delica Kitchen after picking up our swag bags (more like boxes) for the B&O Yorkville run in September.  Clean little soup/sandwich/coffee place.  Kinda reminded me of New York/Paris.  Maybe it's because of the Pret a Manger feel.

Each and every day, Delica offers several sandwich options ranging from meat heavy to vegetarian. Veggies used are very fresh.  Good quantities of meat & veggie balance.  Bread was crusty on the outside, and nice and soft on the inside.  A place I will keep in mind for future visits when I'm in the area and looking for a healthy place to eat.
