Hot Dish Review

OK, maybe it doesn’t actually rule, but it is my favorite sandwich shop. I often stop by the Loehmann’s Plaza location for lunch on Saturdays or Sundays while out shopping.

There are five or six sandwiches that I order, rotating among them depending on my mood and the weather (Seriously. I get hot ones in the Winter, cold ones in the Summer.) Smokehouse turkey or Delhi chicken salad when it’s hot, usually after a day at the pool, or the turkey applejack (in photo), hot honey, Key West Cuban, or chicken popper when it’s chilly outside. A half sandwich is plenty at about seven inches and 300 calories, plus a half bag of Baked BBQ Lays.

Most of the ones I love come with the spicy mustard on the sandwich or on the side and either avocado or bacon (or both in the case of the smokehouse turkey!). In any case, Roly Poly is a far healthier option than McDonald’s or Moe’s.

Note my traditional Creative Loafing placemat in the photo. Classic.
