Day 19 - Steak Sandwich from Jerry's

Jerry's is fairly well known in Chicago. A lot of the sandwiches are named after the customers who created them. The menu is a long (there are probably over one hundred names) list divided into sub categories by the primary ingredient. It's rather pointless in my opinion because the difference between a "Jackie" and a "Ricky" could be the omission of mayonnaise.

Anyway, the sandwich I ordered, the name of which I immediately forgot, was a steak sandwich, with avocado, aged cheddar, coriander, mango chipotle chutney and adobo sauce. And it was flawless. The steak was tender and oozing with juices. The cheese and avocado gave the sandwich a rich creaminess. The chutney and adobo added sweetness and spiciness without drawing too much attention away from the steak. The coriander was a great addition, as it contributed to the Mexican flavourings whilst giving a crunchy texture. Best sandwich to date.
