Since it is summer vacation time, I have been eating more meals than usual at restaurants due to travelling. I will do some restaurant food posts where I describe what I ate and how it was. Here is my first restaurant food post.
This is a Roasted Vegetable Club Sandwich and garden salad I enjoyed a few weeks ago at a restaurant on a recent family vacation. The sandwich, like at most restaurants, came with your choice of side, including garden salad, fries, baked potato, soup, or rice. The garden salad, which I chose, was basically your typical garden salad, although it did contain a wider variety of vegetables than most. It began with a base of fresh lettuce, mostly bib, with a bit of iceberg, and also some arugula. It included some chopped tomato, red and yellow bell peppers, cabbage, red onion, chopped cucumber, and a topping of shredded carrot. This salad was quite a nice size, fresh and crisp, and quite enjoyable. Now, for the sandwich, the real star of the meal. The roasted vegetable club was a triple decker sandwich, on your choice of toasted white or whole wheat bread. It was chock full of vegetables, mainly the ones used in the garden salad. It also contained a generous amount of tasty black olives, melted marble cheese, and a special garlic mayonnaise that I can only really describe as tasty, which tied the entire sandwich all together. The amounts of each ingredient were perfect - enough olives for a really nice flavor, the perfect amount of vegetables, not too much cheese, and enough mayonnaise for taste and moistness, but not too much to make the sandwich soggy. The entire sandwich was cut into four triangles, each held together with a long toothpick, and layed on the side, because otherwise, they were so chock full they would have fallen over. Overall, this was a very good meal, and would definitely be a popular choice among vegetarians.
