I miss New York. Aside from the vibrancy of the people, Central Park and awesome museums, what I…read moreparticularly miss about New York is the food. I've had some of my best meals in some of the most unassuming places such as in small cafes, food trucks and New York delicatessens. I still remember the most incredible sandwich I have ever tasted - soft bread, fresh lettuce and meat slices 2-inches thick. I miss New York. And I miss their sandwiches. Unfortunately, the closest thing that I have ever tried to a yummy New York sandwich are those available at Sandwich Guy. While not as excellent, they're good enough. What I like about this place is that they offer some of fresh ingredients especially with their tomatoes, onions and lettuce. While I'd like to have more pieces of meat in my sandwich, the freshness that they deliver every time is good enough. They also have some incredible staff members at this particular branch, always willing to help with any requests. Parking is limited so I usually have mine to go.

Looking for a new sandwich place? Well, I finally got to try Mr. Graham's Sandwiches! It's located…read morenear the F7 building and right beside Mrs. Graham's Macaron Cafe. I intially came here for two things: a) the Cebuano and b) the Apple Pie Soda! So, I was able to try the big 3: The Cebuano, Four Cheese, Bacon Please., and Sloppy G. Let's start with the Four Cheese, Bacon Please! It's a Frico Grilled Cheese Sandwich filled with mozzarella, cream cheese and cheddar. Also, there is a thick layer of beer-onion-bacon jam (so good!). It comes with tomato soup and a big serving of chips (potato, camote + taro chips) plus their aioli sauce. Addictive! The Sloppy G is their version of the sloppy joe. Th filling is ground beef, minced mushrooms and cheddar cheese smothered in creamy, thick gravy. It comes with the chips and coleslaw (Ask for the spicy coleslaw!). Now, it's time for Mr. Graham's Cebuano! It is his take on the classic Pan Cubano. His version has lechon drizzled with it's own drippings, ham, cheddar cheese, pickled green and yellow mangoes, with some crispy lechon skin. I recommend that you ask them to have it pressed. Super DELICIOUS! Oh, yes, it also comes with the chips! Finally, we have to talk about Mr. Graham's Apple Pie Soda (only Php90). ERMAHGERD!!! This is a definite MUST. TRY. OR DIE! It tastes as good as it sounds: Apple Pie! LEGIT! I cannot tell you how good this is. You just have to get your butt over to Mr. Graham's Sandwich Shop. Like, right now. If not, I'll drink all the soda available that day!

Sandwiches are not really taken seriously in the Philippines. Aside from ubiquitous choices like…read moreburgers and hotdogs (which aren't really sandwiches, but I digress), in general sandwiches are relegated to mere convenience food, usually composed of white bread or pandesal filled with deli meat and mayonnaise. Freedom from white bread and mayonnaise blandness and the constraints of white plastic wrappers and tunafish used to be the sole refuge of coffee shops and a few erstwhile sandwich chains. However, even here, monotony sets in, as despite increases in quality, the fillings are old familiars--grilled cheese, BLT, grilled chicken. Little thought, it seems, has been given to creating new flavors. Mr. Graham's Sandwich Shop takes a step towards that direction. I prefer businesses that do a few things really well, so Mr. Graham's is right in my wheelhouse. Mr. Graham's only offers 6 sandwiches, a few sides, most of the usual sodas, a lot of craft beer, and one really awesome drink. All of the sandwiches are twists on familiar flavors. The flagship, the Cebuano, is a version of a classic pressed Cuban sandwich that replaces the traditional grilled pork with Cebu Lechon. The 4 Cheese, Bacon Please, adds caramelized onion and bacon to a grilled cheese sandwich. The Submariner is a sub filled with a fried fish fillet. The sloppy G replaces tomato sauce with gravy in a sloppy joe, and the Club adds guacamole and honey bread to the regular club. The new sandwich,as yet unnamed and not yet on the menu, is made with a salmon fillet, dill sauce, cream cheese, and alfalfa. This all being said, the best fillings would not make a good sandwich without being surrounded by good bread. Mr. Graham's delivers, placing most of their sandwiches on a crusty ciabatta bread, which is thankfully not cloyingly sweet as most FIlipino bread is. Some sweetness is conceded though on the part of the Club Sandwich's loaf bread. I'm not a fan of that, but I can see how people might like it. The sheer size of the sandwich makes it worth it. I'd place the Cebuano on top of the pile, as the saltiness and savoriness of the Cebu Lechon goes well with melted cheese and a garlic dressing. The sandwich is also pressed, adding a wonderful crunch. I'd prefer the dressing to be less sweet, but overall the Cebuano is just right. A close second for me is the 4 Cheese, Bacon Please. I love caramelized onions, melted cheese, and bacon, so it's a no brainer for me to like it. Dip it in the tomato soup for the perfect snack for a rainy day. I'm a big fan of the new salmon sandwich as well. The fish is still firm but juicy, and the dill sauce enhances its meatiness and creaminess. Alfalfa sprouts give a needed freshness. A visit to Mr. Graham's is not complete without a bottle of APPLE PIE SODA. While it sounds like an exaggeration, it really does taste like apple pie in carbonated form. The apple and cinnamon shine through, but those are within the realms of most imaginations. What makes it special is the distinct buttery taste of pie crust. I don't know how Mr. Graham does it (I asked), but that flavor sets the Apple Pie Soda apart. If liquid dessert isn't your thing, Mr. Graham's also has a broad selection of craft beers to choose from. On the way home, be sure to pick up some Garapal hot sauce as well--chilihead approved. All in all, Mr. Graham's only needs to offer 6 sandwiches, some craft beers, and apple pie soda. The execution of each of these offerings is top notch, which is appropriate for a top-notch sandwich shop. Make sure to pay Mr. Graham a visit the next time you need a sandwich fix.

Subway for lunch? YASSSS PLEASE!…read more Growing up, I never liked sandwiches and... veggies. My parents, especially my mom had a hard time feeding me greens. When I reached college, I became obese. I still did not eat veggies and healthy stuff until my friend introduced me subway. The first time I tried subway was during my 3rd year in college. That was when there was a buy one take one promo. We shared the promo and I just ordered something and did not even want my sandwich to have anything except the bread and the chicken. (The server looked at me like a weird person) One day, I craved for subway but this time, I asked the server to put a few lettuce and that's the time I started eating veggies. One by one. I also started eating healthy, exercising and guess what! I lost 40 lbs in total. I'm maintaining my diet until now and I know this is weird but I started eating veggies because of subway. My favorite is their chicken teriyaki with lots of lettuce, tomatoes, a few japaleno, onion, and cucumber. The best part is their honey mustard dressing. Preparing sandwiches is easy as ABC. I love that I can grab them and have it for to go always. I just hope that they open more branches especially in the south.

I had my mind set on having Joe's Cheesesteak for dinner. It was meant to be!!! We made it in time…read morefor their last 2 pieces. The menu is simple and straight forward - a whole cheesesteak or a half one. You have an option of adding jalapeños too. Since there were 3 of us, we ordered 1 whole and 1 half since we didn't know how big it was. Upon trying it... we just had to get the last half we left behind. The cheesesteak was AWESOME! It's by far the best one I've had in the country. The bread is light, fluffy, but also chewy. It has a nice crisp from being toasted but stays soft on the inside. I just had to tell them that the bread was really good. It's not very common to have yummy bread in a sandwich. The cheese was really rich too but not overpowering since it still allows you to taste the meat and the bread. The sandwich isn't over stuffed with meat but it has the right amount to be able to have a generous portion with every bite. As I was eating my cheesesteak, I started thinking of when I would next visit. It was that good. It was reasonably priced too! A whole Cheesesteak is only Php180. I specifically enjoyed it because it really highlighted the importants parts - bread, cheese sauce, and steak. A lot of other cheesesteaks around like to put onions and bellpeppers which I don't really appreciate. The place is small but has a few seats and a bar for you to be able to dine in. I got to meet the owners. They're very nice and accommodating. They're the same owners to as the famous Cheesesteak restaurant in Makati which was around in the 1980s until the late 1990s. So glad they decided to open again and share this awesomeness with millennials (and everyone else)!

It serves…read moresome of the best-tasting processed meats that is equal to its more expensive contemporaries, at a price range that will put most supermarket choices to shame. While it is technically a restaurant, Earle's has been built more like a neighborhood deli, where you pop in, buy your meats, and go on your way. This branch in Wynsum is very much like that. As a restaurant, this branch in Ortigas could do better. It's rather small, a bit cluttered, and the token outdoor seating is uncomfortable. However, as a deli, it will ALWAYS win.

After a few years I found out that they are opening their first branch here in Manila at Bonifacio Global City. I wasn't really that excited after I heard the news since I never got to try it in the US anyway. One afternoon during lunch I decided I just wanted to have a sandwich and since there was no Subway branch nearby, I went out and finally tried Quiznos. When I arrived the place was empty which was odd because it was lunchtime. I ordered their Classic Italian sandwich, which composed of Salami, Capicola, Ham and Pepperoni thinking it would be the same one like what I order in Subway. I found the whole sandwich experience just okay and it lacked flavor. They also overheated the bread that resulted to some parts being burnt. I think Subway will always still be my favorite sandwich place.

It saddens me how expensive Philly Cheesesteaks are. I know that the ingredients involved in making…read morethe sandwich are incredibly expensive, but I just want to have them every day. There's just something about how sautéed beef, melted provolone cheese, and toasted buns sing together in glorious harmony. The Cheesesteak Shop in Amorsolo prides itself in serving authentic Philly hoagies, which they sell in 7", 10" and 18" sizes. The bread has the perfect balance between crispiness and softness - the roof of your mouth doesn't hurt after you finish the sandwich. For fans of spice like me, you can help yourself to jalapeno to your heart's content. The only unfortunate thing about the Cheesesteak Shop, aside from the aforementioned budget considerations, is its location. They might be geared towards people who work nearby and walk over, but if you have a car going here, parking is going to be tight. Best thing to do is to park in Makati Cinema Square and walk.

Since I visited on a weekday night and it was already late, I had to take home my food. Despite it, the servings I got were still huge. The meal I got was a best value for money. Yes, it's pricier than fast food, but really that loads of cheese and big sandwich is truly worth my money. I ordered Drippin' Roast beef cheese since it was their best seller. Although it's far from the Philadelphia's cheese steak or White House's sandwich in Georgia, I really appreciate the sandwich. The beef was sweet and flavorful which was compatible with the cheese. They added mushrooms which made it tastier. You must try this with their seasoned fries which comes with two dips (WOW!) and their house blended iced tea. I SUPER LOVE their seasoned fries with dips. I'll definitely come back for more. We'll also blog about this soon, because it's really reasonable.
