Food description: Turkey and avocado sandwich on a croissant with havarti cheese, lettuce, and tomato
Food rating: 7.5 out of 10
Times ordered: 10+

Yep, another f#&*in sandwich, but this time a worthy one. It may not look like much, but it's simplicity at its best. Combine the freshest ingredients with an unbelievably buttery croissant, and you've got yourself a sandwich that will make you a repeat customer. Screw the sourdough, I'm all about the croissant, and I'm not the only one. You know this when you see everyone else around you eating the same thing. The turkey is fresh sliced turkey, not the super-cured stuff you find at the supermarket. Because of this it tends to need a little extra salt to bring out its flavor. The havarti cheese works great with the turkey. It's mild, salty, and creamy. The tomatoes are ripe and fresh, and this visit they were particularly impressive. I yanked one out of my sandwich just to eat it by itself, recalling the many unripe "winter" tomatoes I'd been subjected to in recent sandwiches. The lettuce was fresh and tasted like, well, lettuce. Like the tomato, the avocado was perfectly ripe and deliciously creamy. It makes all the ingredients so slippery, they all end up on my lap--but no worries, it's worth the dry cleaning. I can't actually say how this sandwich stacks up to the others on the menu, because I haven't been unhappy enough to seek out anything else. Maybe someday, just for experiment's sake...
