Tuna Nicoise: Standing Sentry For Lunch Boredom

Need some sandwich inspiration?
by OnSugar Blog

Need some sandwich inspiration? Then take note of two interesting sandwiches by way of Between the Bread.

Two new sandwiches caught my eye this week as I walked by The Golden West: avocado, artichoke, tomato, and mint (four of my favorite things!) and a version of the divine Nicoise salad between bread. I haven't been out to lunch in ages, and I was bored by the idea of my salad, so post-2 p.m. I hightailed it out.

Tragically, considering what a special occasion this was, the avo and artichoke was sold out, as was the Nicoise. Determined, I marched over to The Sentinel, which highly satisfied with the last remaining tuna sandwich of the day.

Read ahead to find out if that last tuna sandwich of the day was worth the trek.

'Wich of the Week: Pork Loin With Figs and Manchego

"The Sentinel has a sandwich with figs on it today!"
by

"The Sentinel has a sandwich with figs on it today!" a coworker alerted me on Tuesday morning. I love figs, and I love sandwiches, so I hightailed it over to the SF sandwich shop founded by local chef Dennis Leary.
This was my third time trying The Sentinel's expensive sandwiches, and though this was my favorite so far, I was still somewhat disappointed. Why? Because I expect a place whose menu changes seasonally to use seasonal ingredients, like figs, but this sandwich was sweetened with fig spread. The menu promised fresh figs! But now for the good news.

It's unusually chilly in San Francisco this week and downright frigid in other parts of the country, which has me craving comfort food: sandwiches, soup, lasagna, turkey, meatloaf, turkey meatloaf . . . So although I dismissed the Sentinel's shoddy construction on my last adventure in expensive sandwiches, I was lured once again to the nearby shop by the thought of turkey meatloaf, snuggled in a hot, buttery roll and slathered with cranberry sauce.This sandwich was both lip-smacking and something of a letdown. To hear what I thought and to get the recipe, read more

Adventures in Expensive Sandwiches: The Sentinel Salmon

I am willing to pay a pretty penny for a good sandwich.

I am willing to pay a pretty penny for a good sandwich. But considering that one of my favorites is less than $3, I have very high standards for any sandwich that costs more than $8. I'll pay 10 bucks, but it better be good. Or huge. Or both.On that note, I'm introducing an occasional feature within 'Wich of the Week called Adventures in Expensive Sandwiches. First up: the smoked salmon with horseradish cream cheese, cucumbers, and fennel at The Sentinel. This tiny shop, located just a few blocks from Sugar HQ, was recently opened by Canteen's Dennis Leary. Since I love his fine-dining fare, I decided to give Sentinel a shot. To see what I thought, read more
