Today, MidtownLunch’er Stephanie is reporting on Wedge + Fig’s cheesy selections!
Having relocated to Olde City for work, I found myself situated in the middle of a culinary treasure map of lunch options — Han Dynasty bordering the east, Khyber Pass Pub at the center, and now, Wedge + Fig to the north.

Located in the Italian Market, according to their sign George’s has been selling sandwiches since the 1930’s. I didn’t dare ask, since everybody behind the counter had the appropriate Italian Market gruffness thing pointed my way. I barely had to withstand the evil eyes for long, my sandwiches were delivered to me quickly. The frill level is real low here, and I am fairly certain thats how everyone likes it.

A week ago Opa started serving their new lunch menu and even offered a free lunch to show off the goods. I had only been to Opa for drinks and light snacks and was glad that the lunch menu would allow me to try their food in an affordable way.

I was looking over some old posts and I was reminded of my lunch at Argan, a Center City Moroccan sandwich spot, and how much I enjoyed my meal. This was all the way back in January 2010, so it was about time for a re-visit. Plus there were some things I missed out on with the first go-round, like the merguez sandwich.

I picked Nodding Head for a lunch with several co-workers because there are enough things on the menu that everyone could pick something they wanted. But since I hadn’t actually tried their food, I couldn’t vouch for their quality. I am impressed by the fact that they brew their own beer, but do they put as much effort into the food?

I had a plan to go to Sampan for lunch with my ladies, but then I realized they stop serving lunch! What a shame, I wanted to get my hands on those banh mi’s. I quickly thought up Chifa as a good alternative. Jose Garces’ Chifa combines Peruvian and Chinese cuisines, and lucky for us they have a lunch menu with some affordable options. The Express lunch allows you to pick 2 courses for $14, but you can pick just one course instead and fall under the $10 but still be full. A list of smaller dim sum plates are also on the lunch menu.

Some friends of mine told me that the little deli on 11th and Spruce called Rana actually made some decent lunch and all-day breakfast sandwiches. In the middle of all the different types of chips, prepackaged dumplings, and many types of teas is the sandwich counter.
