Day 26 - The Mr G

J.P.Graziano is an Italian grocers which also makes sandwiches specialising in Italian meats and cheeses. I have been here a couple of times before and the queues in addition to the wait prove that this place is popular amongst residents and worker in the West Loop. My sandwich was the "Mr G" which was a mixture of Italian meats, provolone, vinegrette, roman style artichoke, basil, lettuce with a red wine vinegar and oregano. The sandwich itself was tasty and the quality of the ingredients is easily discernible. The artichokes make this sandwich, adding a great texture and (together with the vinegrette) an acidity that cuts through the many layers of meat and cheese. But beyond those aforementioned ingredients the sandwich is somewhat muddled and the basil, hot oil, red wine vinegar and oregano are somewhat drowned out. Still, impressive.
