munsoned... in a good way!!

I love sandwiches... I will admit half of the reason I love sandwiches are for the chips I eat with them :) I am not talking about a sad and pathetic sandwich that consists of 2 dinky pieces of bread but a big ole deli style concoction!! I have had my fair share of yummy sandwiches over the years but recently Greg and I found the winner of them ALL in San Francisco!

Boca

I am an avid reader of 7X7- a local San Francisco magazine, which usually highlights newly opened places and reviews of many restaurants. My favorite article from 7X7 is, "The Best Things I have Eaten This Week" by Sara Deseran. She gives it straight, good or bad, and she doesn't just frequent the "popular" places. In one of her articles I read about Deli Board. My parents were coming up for lunch one day and I thought this was a perfect casual spot to grab a bite :)

The place is newly remodeled so very clean and the service was impeccable. It was almost too good- but not lol! I wanted the Munsoned sandwich, which Sara Deseran highlighted in her article. Deli Board changes their menu often so it was not on the menu that day... BUT since you can build your own, I just built myself & my mom a Munsoned. My dad got the Boca and Greg built his own chicken salad. Menu

I really am not sure where to begin with the explanation of this sandwich! I guess I can start from the top & bottom and work my way into the middle- the bread! I asked for dutch crunch but little did I know what was coming. Their dutch crunch was fresh and crispy but not too hard. Of course we had to ask, and YUP the bread is made in house! MMMM!

Munsoned

Now for the inside:

Munsoned: smoked brisket, white american cheese, pepperoncini, 1000 island, brown mustard, sweet french roll- which I substituted for dutch crunch. $11 is steep for a sandwich BUT not for one of these puppies. Portion was big but the mixture of flavors is what was bigger. The explosion of the moist & delicate meat paired with just the right sauces in my mouth is unforgettable and nearly impossible to explain! 

Boca: corned beef, pastrami, brisket, muenster cheese, board sauce, brown mustard, pickles, sweet french roll. Again- my dad substituted for the dutch crunch.


This yet again confirms my belief to pay attention to the ingredients because it can make any dish phenomenal. The right olive oil, the right pecorino romano, and definitely the most tender and juicy meat like Deli Board's smoked brisket :)
