Plant Power, Meet Pork Power: This Week’s Sandwich Specials
We’re dropping two serious crave-busters this week. Up first, a plant-powered portobello that isn’t just an afterthought—it’s a hearty, deeply savory beast loaded with grill-charred aioli and sharp Bonati parmesan that’ll make hard-core carnivores re-evaluate their life choices. Prefer the double-pork route? The Cuban Reuben is back to break all the traditional deli rules.
