So basically the El Jefe has ruined other sandwiches for me. Thanks, Project Sandwich. Sure, I can…read morestill get a decent sandwich elsewhere, enjoy the first few bites but then I realise, oh, this isn't a delicious cuban sandwich lovingly prepared with good quality ingredients that's so huge I could never finish it all. All sandwiches should strive to this level. The first time I had an El Jefe I even saved the half I couldn't eat (I don't do leftovers) as consigning it to the bin was just too sad of a fate. The second time I had one I brought someone else along. The pork has some really interesting spicing - to the point that at first, I wasn't sure I even liked it. But yes, it's delicious. Even the ham is warmed through on the flat top before going in. It's all generously sauced before being pressed into a flat, hot, crusty delicious hunk of food. Just try it. If you don't like it, call me. I'll come have the other half!
I've tried several different Cuban sandwiches before. They've been pretty good for the most part…read morewith a couple I'd dare say were very good. But they all pale in comparison to the Sandwich Project and their El Jefe. It was a drizzly day when I came here on the recommendation of my wife. I dare say it was because of the iffy weather that they weren't all that busy - in fact on this particular day, none of the collection of excellent stalls at Kerb at Kings Cross were busy. Ordering is simple - they do two sandwiches, one was the El Jefe, the other was a club sandwich of some description with a fried egg. You pay, get a number and then wait. But don't go too far, because watching the detail and effort they put into the sandwiches is worth the price of admission alone. For example, with the El Jefe - they put the ham and pork on the flat top. I've only ever seen that done for a sandwich on shows like Diners, Drive Ins and Dives, and films like Chef - I've certainly never heard of it being done in a British restaurant or streetfood vendor. The best I've had before was someone fried the sandwich in butter, but the ham never touched the grill. Immediately I'm enthralled. Then they finish the up on a plancha! They had an actual plancha! Ok sure, it could have been a panini press in another life, I'm no expert, so I wouldn't know the difference by looking at it. But it did the job - it pressed it down into an edible size and toasted the bread. As for the sandwich? Sublime. I no longer know whether this or Liberty Cheesesteak's original cheesesteak is the best sandwich in London (that Cheesesteak has been my undisputed king for several years). It's a close tie, certainly. That is how good the El Jefe is. The London sandwich scene has a new challenger!

I was pleasantly surprised by the wide array of options available to me. Being a sandwich man, I could not believe the number of possiblities I had at my disposal. I opted for the prawn and avocado on a panini. It was heaven. A more than ample layer of prawns, avocado that was freshly sliced before my eyes and fresh salad all piled onto a ~10 inch bread loaf. All for only £4! I can definitely say that Harry's has stolen me away from the larger, chain sandwich shops on Upper Street. The bad parts: Their menu was a little outdated. The first thing that I ordered was no longer available. Also, there is no seating inside. There are a few tables outside, but it is definitely a take-away establishment. But still, it doesn't get much better than Harry's.

The service is nice and accommodating, but the food was wasn't very appetizing. We ordered breakfast sandwiches, which were piled high with undercooked bacon and sausages.

It's a small space, almost…read moreexclusively takeaway, so it often looks like there's a long queue, but don't let that discourage you, as the staff are quick and efficient. They're also really nice and polite. Over the course of several visits, I tried the sirloin special, the coronation chicken, the chicken escalope, and the chicken/bacon/sweet corn sandwiches. I also tried the scotch eggs. My favorite was the coronation chicken, which I'd never had before (I don't think we have it in the States), but everything I tried was tasty and I'd be happy to have all of them again. The sandwiches are pretty reasonably priced at under £6, which is nice for an area where it's easy to spend the same amount on a cup of coffee and a muffin. I've always been in and out of the shop in just a few minutes, even when it's busy. Their prime lunch traffic seems to come around 12:30 and later; it was pretty empty the 1 time I went at 12. I've always been able to pay with my American bank card without any issues. Definitely recommend this place if you need lunch in the area! They also have breakfast, although I've never tried it.

And it's reassuring to know that for £3.40 I can be both completely satisfied and yearning for more, truly, your science is blinding. Overall, it was hot and I'm pretty sure we equally enjoyed the transACTION. I know I did... twice. (wink)

My mom really wanted to try Kappacasein at Borough Market - she saw something about the wildly…read morepopular cheese toasties online, and the long line at the storefront confirmed her suspicions. We decided to brave the line for the cheese toasties - a few others hopped out of line into the raclette line, which was much shorter - and were able to order our sandwich after about 15 minutes of waiting. The cheese toasties were made fresh-to-order, and our sandwich was freshly scraped from the griddle as soon as we got to the front of the line. Unlike basic grilled cheese sandwiches, Kappacasein includes leeks and a blend of cheeses for a decadent, gooey bite. We ended up sharing a sandwich, which was the right call. I'm glad we tried it!
