The Corner Cafe

Continuing my search for a good sandwich lead me to The Corner Cafe. Another location I heard good things about but this time I kept my expectations low. I ordered the specialty sandwich: Corner Club-three toasted slices of potato bread with generous portions of roast beef, turkey and bacon with mayonnaise, lettuce and tomato. Served with fries. I thought what a good price advertised on their website $6.95. Alas when I went to pick up my food, I was slapped with the real price of $7.95. Eight bucks for a sandwich at a local little hole in the wall!! Outrageous! The sandwich was good (needed more mayo, I'm a heavy mayo gal) despite the price but I could get a club just as good (if not a little better) from Claim Jumpers. Mmm...I'm craving a club now.

Corner Club $7.95

I heard the sandwiches here were great and it had a sweet story. The story as I know it is the deli was opened by a firefighter who survived 9/11. I was on a sandwich kick and wanted to check it out and support a hero. I was overwhelmed by all the choices so in a rush I ordered the first two specialty sandwiches (one for my husband; I'm not that piggy!). #1 Brooklyn-capicolla, prosciutto, pepperoni, provolone cheese and wax peppers. #2 Bronx-genoa salami, capicolla, prosciutto and provolone cheese. Typing it out, the sandwiches are really similar. Both were awful. The worst proscuitto I've ever had; neither sweet nor salty. Just felt like chewing on pink, flavorless fat. I actually took the prosciutto out of my sandwich. The rest of the sandwich was dry and salty. Maybe that's how they like it in NY but that's not how I like my sandwiches.

Bronx $7.59
