Otherwise their sandwiches are pretty good for office building delis. They don't really have gourmet ingredients, but if you are in the mood for a straightforward sub, you won't be disappointed.

The service at Erik's...not good. I have severe food allergies, and I expressed my need for my…read moreallergy to be taken seriously to the staff. Firstly, the person who took my order claimed my allergens weren't present in the kitchen, which I know is false from the website and menu alone. Then, I asked her if she could change her gloves to be cautious of my allergy, to which she rudely repeated "I did. I literally just did. I changed gloves before and haven't touched anything." Not only is that very rude and a horrible way to treat someone with severe food allergies, but also that is a horrible precedent to set when you are serving food to mass amounts of people. You should want to be sanitary with the food people will eat and use clean gloves. Erik's clearly needs to train their staff to respect food allergies and to change their gloves between orders. ALSO, the person asked if I wanted other accommodations for my order (I asked for no tomatoes) and whilst eating, I found stuck at the bottom of my pita bread was a squished tomato. So all allergen issues aside, they are obviously not being sanitary, taking requests into account, or cleaning their kitchen. Very disappointing and honestly disgusting.

Cheese was offered, but I declined because of my diet at the current time. They do offer seating in a different location of the French market. There are several food vendors in the French market. I can probably spend a month there and never experience the same one. I would definitely go back again for the same sandwich. I did try pastrami for the first time and it tasted very good as well. For the most part, this is a stand order and go type restaurant. I would definitely do it again.

Chef Foss was there to talk with us and was very laid back. We talked a bit about social networking and such before taking off. No line, but it was the first official day, so hopefully word of mouth spreads. My co-workers and I each got the meatball sub, which he said was his favorite. Lots of cheese, very aromatic, and the bread was perfect. The inside was softened up from the sauce (but not too saucy), while the outside remained chewy. The meatballs were filling and juicy. While $8 feels like a lot for a sandwich (and it is, honestly), it was pretty darn good quality. I'll be back if he's ever in the Loop again...and if they can get their Foursquare working. I want my badges!

I'm a big fan of the food truck. So the day before I left for Chicago this week I made sure to…read morecheck out some of the food trucks driving around town. Meatyballs was my first food truck in Chicago and boy is it a tasty one. I opted to try (3) different balls (grenades) as opposed to one hero (which they call a torpedo). For about $9 they filled me up for the next few hours and tasted great. First up was the BBQ Ball...pork shoulder with red cabbage, apples and a smoky bbq sauce. Hit the spot for sure. Next I tried the MeatyBall...pork/beef combo with a cheese truffle sauce. Totally delish. Loved the sauce. Third but certainly not least was the Buff Ball. I think this one was my favorite... buffalo chicken, celery, hot sauce and crumbled blue cheese. The chicken was so soft and moist it fell apart. And the fact that they put on actual crumbly blue was a big plus (I realllly don't like creamy blue cheese dressing. Yuck) My only complaint for the MeatyBall Mobile truck is that the grenades and torpedoes aren't made right there in front of you. It looks as though they make a few dozen of each in the morning... wrap them up, label them and put them in the back of their truck (which doubles as warm oven). When I first read about the truck I was visualizing a guy with 6 pots of meatballs... all heated by water underneath ... and each sandwich made on the spot when you walk up. I know this could be time consuming... but I think it would really kick the balls up a notch. While my grenades were delish... they were messy and the bread a little soggy. Overall though a great find in the Windy City. Glad I stopped by. Definitely recommending.
