Caprese Sandwich at Cento, San Francisco, CA
Cento is basically a window in an alley that serves a small list of lunch specials.
Caprese Sandwich $8.50
While this sandwich was tasty, it was very pricy for what it was. It contained very little mozzerella, and it left me hungry an hour later. However, the addition of roasted garlic was very tasty.

Slow Food Festival, San Francisco, CA
It was a beautiful day so we decided to check out the Slow Food Festival. There were so many things to choose from, but we settled on this tasty mufaletta sandwich from Armandino's Salumi in Seattle. Armandio is Mario Batali's dad and his home cured salumi is quite delicious. This sandwich was $7 and contained about 3 kinds of salumi, along with a pesto and mozzerella cheese.

Grilled Cheese Sandwich with Green Salad
Not fancy, but definitely comfort food. We made the grilled cheese in the old sandwich maker (sort of like a waffle maker, but for bread). The salad was just romaine with a homemade vinaigrette.

A Childhood Classic, Made in the Sandwich Maker
Salmon Melt
Ever since Giao's mom gave us her old-school sandwich maker, tuna melts have been our guilty pleasure. This time, however, we had canned salmon, so we made due. We also used sprouted, whole grain bread which not only is better for us, but tastes better too.

Is John's Roast Pork Philly's Finest?
Although Giao grew up in Philly he had never heard of John's Roast Pork, who received a James Beard award a while ago. A sandwich shack with a James Beard? We had to try it. In the end, the roast pork sandwich did, in fact, prove delicious, but the cheesesteak was just ok. Since the line for the grill, and hence, the cheesesteak, was infinitely longer than the line for the roast pork, which was already, well, roasted, if you go, go for the roast pork. You'll be stuffed in about 10 minutes total.
Large Roast Pork with Sharp Provolone $8
This was very, very big. It tasted kind of like a really delicious French dip, but you don't have to dip, because the meat juices are already soaking the bread. The meat and the juices very flavorful and thus, the sandwich needed no condiments.
Bacon Cheese Steak $9
Huge and decent, but not great.
Chicken Cheesesteak $7
Better than the bacon cheese steak, surprisingly. The chicken was finely chopped and, at Giao's request, slathered in mayo.

Lunch from Morty's Deli, San Francisco, CA
Alexis' office had a catered-in lunch from Morty's Deli. It was surprisingly good deli food.
Tomato Soup
Fresh, hot and tomato-y.
Cobb Salad and Roast Beef Sandwich
The sandwich was packed with meat (which is rare outside of NYC). This was a really good deli sandwich, reminiscent of NYC. The salad ingredients were really fresh and tasty as well.

Old-School Salmon Melt
We got one of those old sandwich makers from Giao's parents' house and were determined to make the tuna melts we remembered from childhood. However, when we got home, we discovered we had canned salmon, but not tuna. We improvised and were successful. We buttered the bread and put some salmon salad (salmon, mayo and a bit of pepper) and some sliced cheese between the bread and close in the sandwich maker. Yum.
