I get into Opa Locka airport the other day in North Miami and I'm panicked. I don't know why I'm so afraid of being without food because one look at me and you know I could miss a meal or two. I'm just speaking theoretically here. I don't think I actually have missed a meal. Maybe some suppressed childhood memory of being threatened with having to go to bed without dinner. I dunno.
I'm panicked because I have, ... oh, like 90 minutes. I borrow a crew car and on the way I call up Hakim and order a Seitan Philly Cheese Sub. He originally suggested a Curried "Chicken" with coconut rice. I'd have preferred the entree but one bump and I'm wearing a turmeric tinged 4 stripes on my arm so I went with the sandwich. Less stress. Less drippage.
Nice new sign. No problem figuring out what this place is now! |
Now look at this menu. You should click on it to enlarge it because you don't want to miss one mouth watering bit of drool. Oh, not drooling? Imagine this place is around the corner from you.
I am a sucker for patties. I love the veggie patties from Georges Jamaican Bakery in Baldwin NY (off the menu last time I went in there and now, years later, I wonder if they used butter back then).
Here of course I don't have to worry about butter or any other crap in my patty. So I get one of each, (of course). I wasn't a great big fan of the ackee but loved the spinach and potato. (Or is it the other way around?)
I don't remember now which was which but the green one wasn't my favorite. It tasted like very very well cooked greens. The other was a potato based filling. |
The bread is the most perfect bread for this sandwich, perfect density to filling shmoosh ratio. But, it could use a bunch more seitan. |
And yes, I made it back in 90 minutes!
