Incredible! I’m sorry to hear there were problems at some point, but i guess thanks to this website, fellow lunchers speaking up, and effective management, it looks like everything is in order now.. cuz I finally had the sandwich today and it was fantastic!! There was even this side of some pickled onion (or something) served with it that added a perfectly salty touch. Honestly, the sandwich was worth every penny in its mountain-esq form and quality. Heck, even the service was nice and responsive. I know this goes outside my cheap-o nature (probably a requirement to trail in the shadow of the mighty Zach) but if they raise the price by a buck or so to maintain keeping it on the menu I’d still say it’s worth it.

On a side note, and as a testament to the power and bonding of this site, I went with a friend and we coincidentally sat next to two other Midtown Lunch readers who were there just for the same reason of trying the reuben. We had a blast and shared a bunch of lunching experiences and ideas. One wisely pointed out that the only improvement to the sandwich would have been if they sold soda at the place (blah health food!!) as a good coke would have cute the duck fat just right. Regardless, good times had by all… more evidence that a Midtown Lunch Gathering/Festivial is in order!! Zach, get this together mon!! Heck bring the kid.. but if i see a napkin on ANY child’s head catching food droppings from your mouth, I’m calling Protective Services!! :>

I got one delivered via Seamlessweb for dinner earlier this week as well; it survived the delivery better than I’d expected and was damn tasty. I’m going to have to head over there to try it fresh in March.

that highlighted comment was one i had made. maybe im glad that im the only one that got a faulty sandwich. gotta tell you guys though, i didnt finish it- i chucked the other half, which must fall under some sort of food felony (its pretty serious). i am the kind that would eat even, say, a walgreens sandwich. i’ve done 7-11 before, can walgreens really be such a far stretch…

I got it delivered via seamless web last night. It was tasty, but the duck was gray (though no liver-y taste like described in the post) and overly peppery without any hint of sweetness. Not what it looked like in the picture, but still good. I’m glad it was on the company dime though.

Oh this is great news… I just checked and it is back on the seamless web menu. For the record- the pork loin sandwhich is really awesome there as well.. (though I only order from freefoods when working late and thus on the company dime) (with the exception of that awesome duck sammy.. man..)

that being said (about it not looking as good as pic), it still was damn tasty!

This is one of my all time favorite anti-vegetarian shirts, but the above would be a worthy substitute…
