Ed's Pantry, 13 June 2019

   Sometimes you find yourself caught between the same goddamned chicken currito and chicken indurrito and you're just not feeling the turkey at Potbelly because they used the good turkey only that one time. So you go looking and there was that one place about thirteen years ago that aint there anymore. And the Sawatdee aint in the skyway anymore.
   It's been replaced by a joint called Ed's Pantry.
   Ed's Pantry has an Italian Chicken Sandwich - CTRL C & V'd from the menu:
chilled sliced chicken breast, provolone, giardiniera peppers, romaine, tomato, red onion, hellmans, italian dressing
   That menu comes from the website that I had to look up because I thought maybe I misread the menu at the joint. It listed cold sandwiches and not hot sandwiches which baffled me because then wouldn't you just list... like... just sandwiches?
   So that's a quibble.
   Well, we can make this next part quick:
   I liked that the chicken wasn't deli-sliced but rather sliced into cold medallions. The rest of it was just, well, you ever have a chicken club but you were Muslim when you ate it?
   Wait, I made that joke in the last post.
   Th real cardboard cutout of a bikini babe with eighties Appalachian weathergirl hair that comes to life after the lights of the video store are turned off for the night via possession by an ancient warrior wielding an industrial chainsaw to fight off the tentacled beasts that come crawling through the vortex to the hell dimension to breach our reality and collect the souls of sorority virgins in  the New Zealand kiwisploitation flick, Galandra: Wayward Warrior Queen and the Virgins on Sorority Row, released in the UK (and winding up on the Video Nasty list) as Tentacle Soul Suckers, in Germany as Böse Tentakeln aus Jenseits der Galaxien Verlangen nach Jungfräulichem Blut, and in Japan as 触手レイプ!ミュージカル (Shokushu Reipu! Myūjikaru!), was the giardiniera which they didn't use nearly enough of, so this was basically a Muslim chicken club with a couple pickled peppers on it. It really needed more. Otherwise, the flavor is akin to just something you whip together using what you have in the fridge.
   This is another not good / not bad entry. I won't tell you to stay away from them but I wouldn't encourage you to give them your money. I wouldn't mind trying something else on their menu but I'm not inspired to go back. However, it's cheaper than a lot of other places in the skyway.
