Taylor Serves the Best Sandwich in DC...

...or so says Top Chef Spike Mendelsohn in an interview with New York Magazine. Apparently he favors the breaded chicken with sautéed broccoli rabe and pesto.

Funny Story,

I was talking to the guy who runs MGM Roast Beef on Brentwood the other day. It came up that I live near Taylors. I told him I loved the sandwiches there, but I have to be in the mood for them. The guy says, "I don't understand why anybody wants to go there. They don't serve mayonnaise or mustard, and are proud of that. Who wants shriveled spinach on their sandwiches anyway?"

Heh, I wonder if Spikes been to MGM. I would have never gone if I didn't work nearby.

In my office, we are constantly hosting large meetings/conferences where we have to serve lunch. Taylor has become the new favorite catering option. The office is in Dupont Circle and they deliver.

I don't understand why anybody wants to go there. They don't serve mayonnaise or mustard, and are proud of that. Who wants shriveled spinach on their sandwiches anyway?Ordered last night: one foot-long chicken cutlet w/ Prosciutto and sharp parmesian and one foot-long sausage w/ peppers. Unbelievably good. And neither one really needed big gobs of mayo, because the bread soaked up the oil from the sausage/chicken cutlet...cuts the natural toughness of the bread they use.

On top of that, they've got customer services on par with *any* business in the city. The deliver everywhere, and even their delivery drivers are polite and well-spoken.

Absolute top-notch organization from top to bottom.

If it were legal in 16 years for my daughter to marry a sandwich shop, I wouldn't be overly disappointed if she married Taylor Gourmet. Yum!

I dig some Taylors, but really, he must have never had the classic italian at Litteri's.

"They don't serve mayonnaise or mustard, and are proud of that."

Um, that's because they're from Philly, and, as a Philly native, I can confirm that we believe that mayo and mustard are the devil on a hoagie :)
