For those of us that braved it to the office, vs those that "worked from home" we again went back to Reading Terminal. Clearly PrimeTime likes his commute the way he likes his beer, no ice.
T-Bone, Bone Marrow and myself venture to Salumeria a store which Italian origins. We opted for the sandwiches which looked good. Bone Marrow and T-Bone were both happy with their meals, me no so much.
I had the Italian Hoagie which had decent meat, ok bread but overall could have had more flavor. The service was indifferent (and that is being polite). When asked what I wanted on it I said "salt, peper and oregano", the response "the salt and pepper is at the register. The register guy was too busy talking to one of his friends. My score of 2 has more to do with the crappy service (now not so polite) than the average hoagie. Like so many places here it could have been so much more. Bone Marrow ordered the Italian Hoagie Combo. His Italian Hoagie with everything on it was an "Explosion of Flavor". Bone Marrow had a different server than Me. Only downside was that it was a little sloppy (much like the service I received). This was a best value for $7 received a 6 inch hoagie, chips and a drink. Bone Marrow impressed with the house dressing (which was not offered to BA) Score 4.05.
T-Bone had the Chicken Parm sandwich. It started with the microwaved chicken which made it questionable but after a table discussion it was decided that this may be the best way to warm the food, vs a regular oven (too long) or heat lamp (too dry). The quality was good and loaded with chicken. It needed a little more sauce and the cheese was a non factor. The sauce and cheese didn't take away from the sandwich but didn't help it either. Score 3.5*. Overall score was 3.18*. They just cracked the top 20 at 19th place.
T-Bone has now caught up by eating some Fried Shrimp from Wan's and the that only leaves 2 places left for Bone Marrow, T-Bone and myself. PrimeTime is lagging with 4 to go. I think it can be wrapped up by this week.
One word...Snuggie.
