Earl of Sandwich
Im going to preface this with a little back story, yet again.
Ive stalked the HELL out of these forums before this trip.
Ive seen people complain about things non stop, debate the quality of meals, heap praise upon items, and everything in between.
One thing that seems to be universally loved, is the food from The Earl of Sandwich. You, disboards, have built up my expectations of this place from day one. Ive read countless tellings of how amazing these sandwiches are (specifically the Holiday Sandwich..) and I dont like being let down.
That being said, the first thing that hit me about this place was the insanely long line. With a line like this, its gotta be good, right? Honestly, I almost left. I debated it. After observing it for a few minutes however, I didnt. The line was ridiculously long, but moved rather quickly.
We ordered, got our buzzer, and waited (not too long.)
Christina ordered the Caprese sandwich.
Also, she got the Broccoli and Cheddar soup.
I have notes from Christina as to how she felt about the food, but I feel like a picture in this case really is worth a thousand words..
Again, thats my girl.
She described the sandwich as delicious, fresh, with a perfect combination of tastes. The mozzarella was sliced thick and tasted perfect. Cheddar Broccoli soup was also really, really good.
Ok. We got that part out of the way. Its my turn. This is the big moment. This Earl of Sandwich didnt let me down. Right there on the sign in front of me, just screaming my name was the Holiday Sandwich. Theres NO WAY I wasnt ordering this.
I got the tomato soup to accompany mine.
Now, if there was a picture of me eating this sandwich, I can promise you that my smile would make Christinas look like a frown, because I was in food heaven. This thing was perfect. Ive had similar sandwiches before (Im looking at you, wawas gobbler.) Honestly, it doesnt even compare to this. This sandwich is just perfection from start to finish.
The bread is amazing, warm, toasty, and fresh. The contrast of the sweet cranberry sauce with the stuffing and turkey is just mind blowing. Im drooling right now just thinking about it. I dont think Ive ever eaten a sandwich so quickly.
Oh, and the tomato soup? It was delectable. Warm and creamy, it was the very definition of soul satisfying. The croutons was just the right balance to the soup with a little bite added to the texture.
Bliss. Absolute bliss.
You didnt let me down Disboards. And I thank you.
We finished up and decided to walk around for a bit. My sweet tooth kicked in at this point, and we went to check out..
