Monica is…having flashbacks about this sandwich.

I keep having subtle moments of happiness because of this sandwich from Molinari Delicatessen in San Francisco. It was recommended by my boyfriend’s friend & it was totally worth the trek through Chinatown to get to it. They have many amazing looking sandwiches, but we settled on this one, soooo goood! We had a panini filled with buttery prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, sweet sun dried tomatoes, fresh pesto, baby greens & killer focaccia. Delicious Italian essence! I wish that I could somehow have this sandwich delivered. How can something so simple be so good? I don’t know but i’m not gonna question this too much…It reminds me in a good way of my little Larchmont Village Wine Spirits & Cheese, back home. I swear after we savored this amazing sandwich, my boyfriend & I had a 10 minute conversation about how we could possibly smuggle this sandwich on the plane back without getting caught. Needless to say we really left our hearts in San Francisco.

Monica is…still thinking about Mimi’s Cafe.

menu

After being duped earlier (“mega sale” at the LA Convention center), we decided to eat away our disappointment with a comforting visit to Mimi’s Cafe in Atwater Village. It’s a little cottage, filled with awful french/jazz decor & screaming families. Yet they have a pretty decent spread for a money conscious pocket, like myself. They give you that little basket of joy filled with carrot raisin bread. I could eat mounds of that bread slathered in softened butter! I had the ranchero eggs over country potatoes & filled my tummy with starchy goodness. It was just right for 7 bucks & I was seemingly happy again. I love a deal, but geez I can’t wait to eat like I used to. These chain restaurants are pretty far from fine dinning. Soon I hope…soon.
