Went today and had meal type food for the very first time at Artisans. You think that having been here so many times I would have ventured to try a sammich or salad right? To be honest, I was skeptical. I am the type of guy that thinks you should stick to something and do it with all the gusto you have. The have the coffee and pastries down, why rock the boat? Well folks, these people not only rock the coffee and pastries, they rock the soup and sammies too!
I got the BBQ pulled pork sammie on GF (gluten free) bread! SMOMM (sweet mother of monkey milk), this thing rocked my world. First, their GF bread is the shiznick with special sauce. Soft yet durable and it tastes like real bread! Next, on this sammie of wonderfulness you have this amazing coleslaw. Not the crap you get at the deli....no no, this cole slaw has color and isn't drenched in a disgustingly sweet Mayo substance. It is crunchy and flavorful. Then, they pile it high with moist and tender pulled pork and top it with the most AMAZING homemade BBQ sauce. PRAISE THE LORD AND PASS THE RECIPE. This BBQ sauce is tangy and flavorful with just a hint of sweetness. I told the dude they need to bottle this stuff up. It would be an amazing salad dressing too!
Instead of chips with my sammie, I got soup. Their sausage, kale and white bean to be exact. The broth in this soup is quite fantastic. I love the textures too! The sausage is tender and perfectly bite size. The flavor of the sausage is not overpowering either which is nice. Beans are cooked perfectly with just a slight bite. No mushy beans thank you! Plenty of green kale to make my tummy and immune system happy happy.
Once again Artisan, you've exceeded my expectations. THANK YOU!
