{they even offer dipping sauces}

Thanks for the heads up. Home made ice cream sandwich? I'm there.

If anyone watches the NBC show America's Next Great Restaurant, this is exactly like the contestant for "Meltworks" that was eliminated recently.....go figure.
-
@Daniel: That was the reason for my second comment....The guy with the Meltworks concept didn't take Flay's advice to offer dipping sauces - he wasn't receptive to any suggestions and thus got eliminated.
After posting yesterday, I ran into Spencer, the owner, when headed to the subway to go home. Nice guy (young guy), big ideas. He said that he wants to try to get a liquor license so people can congregate in the outdoor seating area. I'm not so sure how that would work with the outdoor area being a public space. Some of it would probably have to be roped off.
Anyway, I had the buttermilk-fried chicken sandwich and it was awesome. Fried chicken on buttered pan fried bread and spicy cheese. I wasn't so sure about the red cabbage slaw, but it adds to the sandwich....no clue what the "melt sauce" is either, but all in all, the combination is definitely a winner.

They should consider putting napkins in the bag when packing your order. I didn't think to take them when leaving and didn't have them when I got back to my office.

I sat outside Melt Shop today and was surprised by the steady flow of customers they had. Some of it seems rather expensive, and - this coming from someone who doesn't work in the area - it seems kind of out of the way to notice on a walk to look for lunch.
PS joer that sandwich you got sounds amazing.
-
Who the hell doesn't have any napkins in their office?
-
i have about 10 trees worth of napkins in my desk.
-
Hey I thought I was the only one with a huge stack of napkins.
-
i am actually the 1st profile of a new show coming to A&E next month.
Hoarders: NAPKINS.
-
Do you also hoard utensils? I have a huge bag full.
-
vdubjb: My company supposedly has napkins, but I'd rather not go into the woman's restroom to get them...besides, I hear they charge for them.
I'd rather the place I purchase food from just put at least a couple in the bag.
Seriously, if I take my food to eat elsewhere and not back to my office, most public spaces do not have napkin dispensers.

napkins, ketchup,hot sauce, mustard, salt/pepper packets,I got it all.

There is a new place opening in the former Moshe's Cafe location called Melt Shop. It's within the Citigroup Building's open air area and right next to a Dunkin Donuts. Looks like Grilled Cheese, Zapps, and Stumptown coffee.
