I recently had to take my vehicle in for scheduled service. I will usually get an early appointment time and wait at the dealership. I've been impressed at how quickly everything is completed these days. In at 8 out by 930! On the other hand, I had been planning to check out some places for lunch, but I won't complain about a quick turnaround.
Thus, I needed to grab something for an early....very early lunch. As I drove North on Mission Gorge Road, I saw Grab & Go! Well, it had been ages since I'd been to this location of G&G. The Convoy Court location used to be a regular stop for me when we had offices close by; but heck I hadn't been to that location in over 7 years as well!
I guess it was time for a revisit.
I walked on in; the place looks almost the same as those days "BC" (before Covid).
Of course the prices are not.
My favorite at G&G the Hot Spicy Capocolla is now $13.49. I believe the last time I had that sandwich it was under seven bucks!
I decided to eat al fresco and found a nice quiet spot at Heritage Park.
Opening the sandwich up, the first thing I noticed was how much shredded lettuce there was. So much iceberg that it could have sunk the Titanic. Also, I remember Grab & Go as having some of the messiest, sloppiest sandwiches and this definitely lived up to that rep. One of the reasons I enjoy this sandwich is that it's toasted, the bread was yeasty-crackley-crusty goodness. Also appreciated that the Provolone was melted. The jalapenos added some heat though not a huge amount. The oil and vinegar dressing is perfect for this sandwich; mayo would be overkill in my opinion.
While the huge amount of lettuce kinda threw the flavors off; it was just too much, this was quite a hefty sandwich. I guess I'll need to return again soon.
