San Francisco – ‘wichcraft

May 2nd, 2009

It was without a doubt that after the huge dinner at Coi, something simple was desired for lunch. Besides, the main agenda was really to to go shopping right after.

I first read about this upscale sandwich joint from The Amateur Gourmet who lives and blogs about the east coast, so finding it available in SF downtown was totally unexpected and cool.

I think non-vegetarians would also love this.

The set comes with a pack of thick-cut potato chips as well and there is free water available on self-service.
