Last week I couldn't stop gushing about Ike's Place, my new favorite sandwich joint in town. Well, this weekend, I made a return trip there and tried one of their new offerings, an election-minded sandwich called The Palin.
Generously sized for its $8.98 price tag, The Palin was jam-packed with shredded chicken breast, deep-fried mozzarella sticks, blue cheese, and Frank's Red Hot Sauce. While I wished there had been a little less hot sauce, I thought the result was one heavenly mess.

The deep fried mozzarella sticks sealed it for me. I want this sandwich right now. Looks and sounds so yummy.
1I'm not sure why it was named after Palin, but the combination does sound delicious.
2I think Palin likes hot sauce
I would eat this in a second, even thoug it def. sounds like a gut-bomb to me!
3But we'd have no problem eating mozza stix and a buffalo chix 'witch seperately, right?
yum....i'd have heartburn for days!!
4it looks yummy! Though I probably would agree with you on the hot sauce
5I am so envious of you having this sandwich shop nearby. I would eat there everyday if I lived near it. (and then have to go to sandwich rehab for my weight problem)
6I wonder how many calories are in that puppy?! The ingredients don't make a connection with Palin. I think baby salmon stuffed with Russian caviar placed on a ciabatta served with a blueberry chutney would be more appropriate. It draws on her connection to AK with the salmon and blueberries. And, the Russian caviar, need I say more?
7I'd eat half and definitely ask them to go easy on the hot sauce. But the combination sounds good
8They lost me at the mozzarella sticks. Why not some shredded lettuce and tomato instead? It looks really nasty as is.
9Substituting lettuce and tomato for mozzarella sticks? Sounds pretty elitist to me.
10I would have to share it of course!
11It sounds yummy but I'd have a hard time eating anything named after that woman.
12It sounds good, but I just couldn't eat anything named after her.
13The name aside, the sandwich sounds like a heart attack waiting to happen.
14HAHA shoney.
it sounds delicious to me and I think it would be delicious with shredded lettuce and tomato as well (as long as we kept the mozzarella sticks)
15I love how that sandwich is a total mess, just like her!
16The Blue Cheese called it all off for me.
17Sounds like a tasty sandwich! Bring it on!
18Hahaha superfoxml!! I'm with you there
19That looks amazing. I wish I lived near this Ike's place.
20the deep fried mozarella is too much for me.
21Surely Palin would prefer the more All-American option of ranch dressing instead of blue cheese?
22I couldn't disagree with Palin's politics more, but I would eat the sandwich.
23well i wouldn't eat it because of the chicken since i'm a vegetarian, but i'm not sure that i quite understand the relationship there with the 'wich and with Palin.
24Nope. I don't like blue cheese and I'd rather have my cheese sticks on their own.
25Holy crap...that sounds awesome.
26I agree. It was a little hard to make the connection to Sarah Palin with shredded chicken, mozz sticks and hot sauce...It makes much more sense to have bacon and lipstick. But it was delicious nonetheless!
27Just looks like too much in a wrap for me. I'd try it though.
28It sounds like it would create some intestinal issues.
29take away the hot sauce and I'm in heaven! that sounds great!
30i've had this sandwich! it is definitely a hot mess. pretty tasty though, but then i think ike's can do no wrong!
31Bleu Cheese!?
32I'm not a big fan of hot sauce or blue cheese. Add ranch and I'd try it...although, then I'd have to get on the elliptical for like 8 hours! Haha!
33What a combo!
34The Palin? Where's the Moose?
35If I had four legs, was short and "porky" and was wearing lipstick it might work.
36I'll take two, one for the hubby.
37I don't know about the mozz sticks, so for this one I'll have to pass.
38Cheese and chicken? Yes, yes, yes! I'd just have to rename the sandwich.
39Wow, Yum. I am surprised that you would even support such a horrible statement by bringing it up again and even joking about it.
WTFH?? What if McCain were to lower himself to make a comment such as this one about Biden? Can I made a sandwitch about his slur and not be seen as an @ssh*le, which I would be??
What if someone called Michelle a monkey in lipstick? Would THAT be okay???
40What's the saturated fat content on that thing? Nope, I wouldn't eat that, but Ike's is fab otherwise. Not often you see a shop serving halal and ham on the same menu.
41id have to switch the chicken for some veggies, then yes!
42I would taste this. Not into hot sauce though.
43I would take a bite and then spit it out.
44Heck yeah! Politics is one thing, food is another.
45Sounds delicous but I couldn't let myself order it knowing how long I'd have to run to work it off.
46Anything with mozzarella sticks...I'm in!
47sounds like a deep fried Republican artery clogger
48OMG! It would gain 10lbs on me but sounds like it would be worth it! Fried cheese in a wrap!
49I don't usually eat things that are super unhealthy, so I probably wouldn't actually order it, but it does look very yummy!!! Maybe if I split it with a person or two...
