Good To Go, 27 February 2019

   Yeah, I went back and got the chicken pesto sandwich. Let's just jump right into it. I don't have the sillies in me today. It's not like I'm in a bad mood or anything, I'm just pressed for time. Lot of shit on my desk.

   Anyway, the pesto, I know you can't see it in that photo under the lettuce but it was there, it was bright green, and what I could taste was good but I needed more of it.
   The chicken was higher quality than the turkey; you could tell it was hand carved but it wasn't seasoned; a little salt and pepper goes a long way. Maybe some fuckin' Lawry's or something. But that's what you get with cold chicken, I guess. At least it wasn't dry.

   However, let's talk about cheese...

   How'd you ever guess?

   Look, it's kind of a pet peeve when you put something on the menu and you don't tell me shit about it, like when you decide to do something left-field and put muenster on your pesto sandwich.
   "But, Charlie, didn't you say the cheese was from Sysco, which you consistently deride as being flavorless?"
   Yeah, this was a visual confirmation.

   Pairing muenster with pesto? That's - Well, the first word that came to my mind was "inspired" and it's too bad that I didn't get to taste what that was like. I like that the chicken was hand carved but again, not seasoned.
   This sandwich might have been better if it was hot, like maybe melt that a higher quality muenster on that chicken just a little and really slather the pesto on with a fucking cement trowel, eighty six the lettuce, keep the tomato, throw on some red onion... Bam! That's a fucking sandwich.

   After two sandwiches, though... I mean, hey, sumac aioli on a turkey club? Muenster on a chicken pesto? They're trying some interesting things but the sandwiches aren't really their focus. Their kebabs are supposed to be good, their salads are a build your own affair, maybe I'm not supposed to judge them based on their sandwiches but, hey, I mean, look at what this blog is called. Sure, we've done kebabs, we've done fish & chips, but you come here looking for what's hot on the sandwich streets and Good To Go isn't on that street, fam.
   If you're in the US Bank Building and in the mood for a sandwich, it's pretty much this joint and Jimmy John's and I kind of have to give it to this point by default but it's not going to be a regular pick, not at these prices (sandwich + chips + drink = $10.82) for what is a pretty unremarkable sandwich with maybe one little talking point.

   I won't discourage you from going there, hell, if you went there, I'd say, "Right on." But I can't encourage you, either.
   This might be a Sandwich Bully first. I have no idea what to say about this place. It's just - I can't rant and rave about it being awful because it isn't bad but I can't tell you to give them your money because it's not good enough.
   It's there, I guess. You can go if you want. It's OK but...

   That's it right there. "It's OK but..."
