Sunday Sandwiches - The Tri-Tiperia Revisited

For a couple of months there was so much road work happening on Mount Acadia Boulevard. On many days it was single lane traffic. I knew of many folks, including us, who were avoiding the area during the workday; it was just not worth the weight. One day, while working form home, I wondered how the the place was doing. I also knew that there was less work being done in the area so my chances of getting caught in single lane traffic was minimal.

   So I decided to take a chance and head on over. I lucked out; there was still some single lane traffic on the road; but it was further up the street. 

It had been a while since I last visited.....man, Covid has been going on so long now it seems! I was glad to see that they were open.

I waltzed up to the window and placed my order.......for the "usual"; the "O.G.". Was told it would be a ten minute wait; I walked to the side and kept tabs on work emails and such. Soon enough, there were  a couple of other folks who dropped by to place or pick-up orders.....which made me quite happy.

And of course this O(ld) G(uy), got his "O.G."

It looked exactly the same as before; packed with a cookie.

I always think the ciabatta could use a bit more toasting; but this was fine.

The tri-tip was more tender than I recalled; though I think it could still use a bit more smokiness. Nicely seasoned and a decent portion. I bit too much lemon-roasted garlic mayo this time around; though I like the way the acidity of the lemon in the mayo and the roma tomatoes puts "all the pieces together". The roasted garlic in the mayo comes thru nicely as well. The Gouda adds a nice mild milky-smoked layer to things as well.

I'm glad that even though we've gone thru 13 months in the pandemic they are still making a go of it. And the sandwich was quite a nice lunch for me.

That's a good looking sandwich.

It's a pretty good sandwich and much better than the Tri-Tip The Habit; which is a few blocks away serves Soo.

My friend lives on Mt Acadia right across from that strip mall. He had to deal with that traffic every day.

That traffic tie up was terrible Junichi! We were taking the long way around. Luckily, it seems that they are finishing up????
