Taylor Rolls Out 7 New Hoagies
Local sandwich shop Taylor Gourmet (which will soon boast a third location) is rolling out seven new sandwiches. You can read about three of the new pork sandwiches at Young and Hungry.
Please tell me what to order so that I can praised Taylor like the rest of the world. Three tries down and I still haven't gotten a sandwich that wasn't too dry to finish. Commentariat input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Order the Benjamin Franklin Expressway- Chicken, grilled or fried, with marinara and cheese. Delicious, definitely not dry.
I find some of the cold-cuts can be a bit dry too, but with the hot subs the bread softens. So try that or the meatball or the sausage or the Pattison Ave and see if it doesn't change your mind.
I'm definitely in the "praise Taylor" camp, although I could see how some people might find a couple of the cutlet hoagies a bit dry. Aside from the food, I would also like to praise the delivery service. The last six or seven times we ordered (we order a lot) the average time from hanging up the phone to them showing up at my door has been about 15 minutes. I live a few blocks away but that is still amazing.
I get the Walnut Street but replace the mozzarella with goat cheese. The cheese and peppers soak into the bread, softening it up a bit. It's definitely not too dry.
I had the "Pattison Ave" which was posted on the door as a special last week. It was by far the best sandwich I'd had there. Lots o' roast pork juices so definitely not dry.
the pattison avenue is effing ricdiculous. it is close to unseating litteri's as my fave sub. good thing taylor is open on sundays and nights so i can keep my saturday litteri's appointment.

Why sweat it? Go order a calzone if you're not a fan of hoagies.
This whole "Your soup is too moist; why isn't it more like stew?" meme is getting old.
I'll third the Pattison Avenue. The roast pork juices, as well as the cooked broccoli rabe, soak into the bread. The crust is dense enough to keep it from leaking all over the place, but the interior gets pleasantly saturated.
Please define "REAL HOAGIE ROLLS." Taylors gets theirs from Sarcones. You can make the case that by the time they get to DC from Philly, they're not fresh, but what's the alternative? The bloated dough you find in Safeway?
Guys, please be polite. Remember that these people are your neighbors. I ask also that anonymous users leave some kind of tag [e.g. big green cat] for the sake of being able to follow a thread. Be respectful and have fun.

ReplyDeleteGood article, thanks for the heads-up! If I may be so bold as to make a suggestion - subs. Not "hoagies." Subs.
ReplyDeleteYeah,
ReplyDeleteI pretty much never use the word "hoagie," but that was the word Taylor used in its announcement. I would have expected sub, or grinder.
Hoagie is a Philly term! Grinders are generally in NYC and Connecticut.
ReplyDeleteIf I may make an alternate suggestion: Hoagies. Not "subs". Please. Go to Subway for subs.
