Sandwichs All Day Long


Dagwood would be proud.

Went to Ann Arbor, MI yesterday morning for a Drs. appointment and was done around 11:30 so Deb and I decided to stick around A2 for lunch. When we left U of M Hospital we immediately found a little corner restaurant, Angelo's - Since 1956, 1104 E. Catherine @ Glen, http://www.angelosa2.com/. (When does a restaurant become known as since? 10 years, 15+ years? just wondering).

Anyway, I digress. This spot was just wonderful. Great breakfasts and lunches in an old, but updated diner atmosphere. I watched the young servers bringing oatmeal, waffles, salads and sandwiches to the other patrons. Deb and I had smoked turkey Reuben's; stacked smoked turkey with Swiss cheese, Cole slaw and Thousand Island dressing on grilled house made bread for $7.95, took half of it home it was so big. For $1.25 each we added fries and Cole slaw.


Nothing on the menu was greater than $10. They have floor to ceiling windows and a back atrium which is all glass, Yesterday was bright and sunny and it made the experience even better. Angelo's is a great place and we are sure to return. They even have their own eight-space parking lot across the street.


On to Kerrytown and Zingerman's Deli, 422 Detroit Street for some bread shopping. Bought a large poppy seed challa bread, some cheese and brownies.




Used the bread for Monte Christo sandwiches for dinner.

Sliced the bread, spread the slices with a mixture of Dijon Mustard and Orange marmalade, layered Swiss cheese, sliced ham and sliced turkey, topped with the other slice of bread and then dipped the sandwich in a mixture of beaten eggs, (3) to which I added some additional Dijon and marmalade.

Placed on a preheated grill and placed a tray on top with a heavy pan to mimic a pannini press, browned, turned over and grilled the other side, great. Served with a Trader Joe ginger carrot soup, chips and cornichons. Superb!

Got on the scale today - too much sodium yesterday - oh well - I'll be good today.

Bon Appetit!
