One brisk fall afternoon, Figaro’s on 105 Beach Street in Boston MA (www.figarosboston.com) changed the way I think about Chicken pesto sandwiches forever.
The Fellini on Ciabatta- grilled chicken, provolone cheese, BACON, sliced tomato and pesto mayo served on a grilled ciabatta roll. My mouth is watering right now just remembering it. Some say that there is no savory meal that cannot be enhanced by the addition of bacon, and in no instance has this ever rang more true. One could also say, that no savory sandwich cannot be enhanced by the addition of Figaro’s fresh grilled ciabatta!
Now stop me if I go too far by saying that, grilled chicken pesto, bacon, cheese, and a crusty fresh ciabatta are damn near the perfect combination of ingredients. I could live the rest of my life, and still be comparing other sandwiches to this.
Beyond a passing recommendation or stern urging, I am straight up DEMANDING that you drop what you’re doing, get out of your chair and run your ass down to Figaro’s for this sandwich.
If there were words that could describe The Rumanian Pastrami sandwich at Sam LaGrassa’s on Province St., you can bet they would sound something like, “Holy freaking crap”. I have been ordering this sandwich in exactly the same way for two and a half years and I have never EVER thought twice about it. I get the Rumanian Pastrami on a round roll, with onions mustard and American cheese, quite possibly the finest combination of things.
Now I’ve had more than my fair share of pastrami, but never have I had one with quite the same impact as this. When I bite into this sandwich the world goes quite around me. My vision Blurs, my mind goes blank and I drift into realization that everything is going to be ok.
