Cuban Thursdays and More
I've come to look forward to Thursdays, or as we say at work, Cuban Thursdays. On this new favorite day of the week, Breadline offers a Cuban Sandwich consisting of roast pork, ham, swiss, pickles & orange cumin sauce. But not just pork, succulent smokey roasted pork with savory ham, sweet pickles and a piquant orange cumin sauce on cuban bread that is both crunchy and soft from the sandwich press.
The more? That would be the soft-shelled crabs on the menu. When I first noticed the addition to the late spring menu, it was after I had placed an order for the Cuban sandwich. The guy behind the counter, noticing my tongue hanging out of my mouth, said they will be on the Thursday menu for at least the next few Thursdays. So it's a little pricey, but well worth the splurge. The batter fried softshell was served nestled on an (egg?)bread roll, smothered with a delicious homemade tartar sauce and tangy coleslaw.
Another favorite? The soft, not-too sweet chocolate-chocolate chip sandwich cookie filled with creamy mascarpone. Now, if you are accustomed to spending $5 on lunch, this isn't a cheap lunch, but it is well-prepared restaurant quality lunch that rarely disappoints. And in that respect, it's a bargain.
