I’ve been here 3 times, each time trying to give it another shot. Well, I’ll tell you that I should have gotten the #20 on garlic bread since otherwise it has no flavor to speak of, even though the roast is good quality and so is the mozzarella. The thin single layer of eggplant was the only thing adding any flavor to an otherwise bland sandwich.

As for your picture of the #20 and what I actually got, your sandwich is loaded with cheese. Mine had one thin layer of mozzarella. I’ve noticed this time and again. They cut the ends to make the hero short and skimp on cheese. Every time.

I guess they caught on to the fact that manhattanites will accept less for their money. I suppose you have to go to Brooklyn for the real deal. If I’m going to make the trip to BK, I’d much rather go to A&S pork store in Bay Ridge. They put some actual flavor in their sandwiches and NEVER skimp on bread or ingredients.

Before Sunrise,
Thanks for the heads up on the NY Times article. Lamazou is great, I’ve known about it for a long time
and reviewed it a while ago.

Hey good sir, how is the bang for the buck here? The sandwich prices seem rather steep. Are they huge like the Italian Special at Faicco’s? $8-$10 is a lot to pay for a sandwich.
