Cheese Omelet, Hoagie Haven, NJ

Cheese Omelet/L,T,O/Half/$3.50

Bread-6/10

As I've said before, they use the greatest of bread. Definitely gets a little smashed flat and irrelevant, but it suited this sandwich better than some in the past.

Not Beef-4/5
The omelet seemed to have been made with 3 or so eggs. It didn't have too much flavor, as is often the case with egg. Definitely need a little salt, pepper and oregano to spice it up. Despite that it was cooked well and had that subtle "I was cooked on a flat top grill" taste.

Cheese/sauce-3/5

The cheese was lacking, it could definitely use more cheese. The hot sauce that I elected to get on it was a little too vinegary for my taste, not bad though.

Flavor-7/10

It was quite a tasty sandwich altogether, it could have been improved, but good nonetheless.

Misc.-4/5

Only $3.50, and it's pretty damned big for only a half a sandwich. I'd get this to eat any day. I often wonder if eating all these sandwiches is healthy or not. Most people would say "unhealthy" but without the disgusting lunch meat or steak-ums you're pretty set. You have your protein in the egg, veggies in the lettuce, tomato and onion and some carbs in your bread. It's kind of like a well-rounded breakfast, except with most breakfasts you would replace the veggies with potato. More carbs, who needs that?! Unless you're carbin' up bro.

Veggie Greeny, Mr. C's, New Brunswick, NJ

Veggie Greeny/Whole/$6


Veggie Greeny is:
2 Fried Eggs, Marinara sauce, mozzarella sticks, onion rings, french fries and lettuce.

Bread-6/10

The bread is OK. Not much flavor, not the kind of roll I could eat all by it's lonesome.

Not Beef-4/5

The eggs are ok, the mozzarella sticks are amazing (how can you go wrong with fried mozzarella cheese? The question answers itself.), where the fuck are the onion rings?! I think every time I've gotten this sandwich it has either not had onion rings in it, or the onion rings are completely unnoticeable. The fries aren't great either. This is a classic case of "the whole is greater than the sum of it's parts."

Marinara-4/5

The marinara helps offset the blandness of the bread and french fries. Might be better with their hot sauce.

Flavor-7/10
The flavor of this sandwich can waiver depending on how drunk you are... or how stoked you are (if you've spent any time at Rutgers you'll understand)

Misc.-5/5
I'm a big fan of Mr. C's, the other truck to the side is always cranking this shitty house music, which is turned up louder every time they make a sale, it has a compounding effect on all the shitty, hollow, date-raping assholes that will probably be surrounding you. The others are always closed when it is high time for a sandwich at the grease trucks (1:00am, although they are excellent for "carbing up"). Of course, the way the guy at the register pronounces his own sandwiches in his Arabic accent just screams hunger. I plan to review my other favorites at Mr. C's in the near future.

Eggplant Parm on Pita, FoodParc, NYC

Eggplant Parmesan/ww pita/half/$5.50



Bread-8/10

Some pretty good pita. Uh... it was whole wheat.

Not Beef-5/5

The eggplant was pretty ace. Yep.

Marinara and Cheese-4/5
Pretty damned tasty, I wish I could elaborate on this, it was a few nights ago. :-(

Flavor-9/10

It was definitely damned tasty. The shredded fresh basil on top was a nice touch.

Misc.-3/5
I have seen the future. I have good news and I have bad news. FoodParc is certainly a glimpse at dining in the future. Much more automation and touch screens, etc. (See the photo above) In the future you're going to feel like John Spartan (Sylvester Stallone's character in "Demolition Man") when he encounters the 3 seashells, except you're going to feel this way when you receive a "sandwich." I honestly had no clue how to eat it as a sandwich. Part of the problem was that it was in a little take-out burger box. In the future, the food is delicious. However, the music is awful. If I wasn't looking forward to see Roger Waters perform "The Wall" shortly after eating here I probably would've slammed my head through one of the touch screens.

Falafel on Pita, Amsterdam Falafel Shop, Washington, DC

Falafel/Pita/$6.50

Bread-6/10

Not remarkable pita bread but it was pretty fresh and held them falafels in there good and tight.

Not Beef-5/5

Often times I find falafel to get pretty nauseating before you're done with it, this falafel wasn't at all. Super filling, no danger of vomming.

Cheese-2/5

The hummus was decent. I have a problem with falafel shops: they expect you to be able to effectively lather up those balls in hummus after they pack the sack full. A little annoying.

Flavor-8/10

Definitely up there on my list of falafel. Pretty damned tasty.

Misc.-2/5
The place was uncomfortably packed and organized in a totally wacky way. I accidentally didn't follow protocol and as a result I practically cut 20 people in line. The fries weren't very good and it was a bit pricey.

Egg and Cheese on Everything Bagel, Bagels Etc, Washington, DC

Egg and Cheese/Everything Bagel/$3.00?

Bread-4/10

The bagel was a little "gummy" to use the words of Matt. It was most certainly not of the caliber of bagel that I am used to in New Jersey.

Not Beef-4/5

The egg was decent, thankfully it wasn't microwaved.

Cheese-4/5

The yellow american cheese on it was decent. It enhanced the flavor over all.

Flavor-7/10

Better than many places that you'll find an egg and cheese sandwich, but not quite up to snuff.

Misc.-5/5
I'm giving this a 5 out of 5 because of the delicious and much welcomed cup of deep black joe I got with the sandwich.

Peanut Butter and Banana, My Place, NJ

Peanut Butter and Banana/7 Grain bread/$n/a

Bread-5/10

This bread is from work (I'm a lunch lady) it's not bad at all. It has a subtle taste of honey to it. But the bread I used for this sandwich wasn't fresh, it was frozen for months, defrosted and then toasted. Still not bad though.

Not Beef-5/5

The banana I used for this was at perfect ripeness. Brown spots on the peel. Fabulous conditions for the consumption of a banana.

Peanut butter-4/5

The peanut butter on this was also from work. It is smuckers from the little packages, not bad. It is creamy peanut butter. If I had my way it would have been chunky peanut butter.

Flavor-9/10

This peanut butter and banana sandwich is rather delightful. I should definitely spend more time eating these things. They're great.

Misc.-4/5
I'm giving this one a 4 because it inspired me to make myself a vegetarian "Elvis" in the future. For those of you that don't know what an "Elvis" is, it was Elvis Presley's favorite sandwich, basically a peanut butter and banana sandwich with BACON. Yes, BACON. No wonder he got all fat. But if you simply replace it with Morningstar Bacon Strips (I find this to be the best veggie alternative) you're safe from heart attacks on the toilet. I will definitely review the Elvis when I get around to it.

Eggplant Parm, Hoagie Haven, NJ

Eggplant Parmesan/L,T,O/Half/$4.00



Bread-5-

Bread wasn't much to speak of. However, it did the job.

Not Beef-5-

The eggplant was delicious on this one. In the past Hoagie Haven's eggplant wasn't up to snuff with their neighbor across the street (Zorba's, review coming soon..) I think perhaps they saw "Not Beef Sandwich" from a mile away.

Cheese/sauce-3-

The cheese was practically non-existent. But the tomato sauce complimented the eggplant very well.

Flavor-7-

This sandwich hit the spot. The tomato was delicious and the onions and lettuce were refreshing. It wasn't overly flavorful, in the future I may get hot sauce on it as well, definitely could have used a little bit of a kick.

Misc.-3-

I was starving before I got to this one, perhaps I was a bit biased. Hoagie Haven's eggplant parms are definitely lacking without the lettuce, tomato and onion. In the past I've also had jalapeno's on it and it did the trick. It was good for an eggplant parm hoagie, but I wouldn't recommend a lone eggplant parm sandwich from Hoagie Haven, there are better ones nearby.
