I am a fan of Sandwichworks for sure. I most often end up with a reuben slider, potato salad, and some sort of Bundaberg concoction. I occasionally encounter an unnecessarily rude dude at the counter, but luckily he only gets to be surly to me for a moment. They've certainly gotten their shit much more dialed in since they opened, so I usually don't think twice about stopping in. And it doesn't hurt that I work in the neighborhood, cause while I like it quite a bit, I certainly wouldn't bike several miles to get my fix there.

The New York dog, while "imminently devourable" in certain circumstances (just after you order it for instance), was actually meant to be described as "eminently devourable." Either way, a douchey non-phrase. Article has been edited to reflect proper usage. Douchiness remains intact.

Thanks to CC for the heads up.

"Chicago, as represented by the Italian beef sandwich, bests New York's menu entry (they'll take it where they can get it)."

Really?? Huh.... I guess having the nation's best restaurants and best chefs, and probably the most creative culinary scene of the moment, doesn't count for much.

This isn't so much personal opinion as it is critic and industry opinion. And yes, NY certainly has their upper-hands, but, I mean, this is article is about food, right?

I'm a Jersey girl - land of sliced meat products and sandwiches. Let me tell you Kenny and Zuke - Get a Sharpener for your slicer! The Sh*t is too thick - corned beef and pastrami should be cut soooo thin you can almost see through it! I have unfortunately never been anything but disappointed at K&Z's. I dream of sandwiches almost incessantly, but not theirs.

yeah, it's awesome. my friend couldn't get over their pickles. i had some soup they were still developing, some hungarian mushroom soup, which was excellent. sandwiches were very satisfying. you can also tell it's good when a fairly complete cross-section of the city's inhabitants are there, reluctantly rubbing elbows for good food. prices are reasonable. i hope they stay around a while.
