If you’re reading this, you probably have a very positive
opinion about Zunzi’s and normally, so do I. My opinion of Zunzi’s is so high
that I even debated not writing this entry because it’s only going to be 50%
favorable. But alas, I must be true.
Zunzi's, a local fave |
Zunzi’s specialty is the “Conquistador” which means “best
chicken sandwich in town” in Spanish or Portuguese or something. I think
everyone will agree on this.
Ingela Marie Johnson Smith Volvo is our token chicken
sandwich tester and she even agrees. On this most recent trip to Zunzi’s, Mike
and I decided we had to try something different.
I got the falafel. And, I was INCREDIBLY full and satisfied
and it was cheap and just plain delicious. Onions, tomatoes, pita – all good. There
are four large chickpea patties and their yoghurt sauce is great. Overall, this
sandwich is killer.
My new favorite falafel |
Mike decided to order the salmon sandwich called “The
Fisherman’s Deck.” This was a complete fail. He asked them if the sandwich had
mayo on it. Since he hates mayo, and the sauce has mayo in it, we were already
set up for doom.
Mike gave in and let them put some sauce on it and agreed it
“wasn’t too bad.” Side note, Mike hates condiments. Ketchup, mayo, mustard and
though more garnish than condiment, he also hates pickles.
Mike's Fisherman's Deck Salmon |
But Bravo Zunzi’s you got Mike to eat something with mayo in
it. But wait, there’s more…when he bit into his salmon sandwich, the entire
bottom of the roll was soaked in mustard. Houston, we have a big problem.
The menu says nothing about the mustard infraction; so, I
marched up to the counter and asked for another roll for Mike, heretofore known
as Big Baby. He ate his sandwich, swore he could “still taste mustard” and hated
it. Sulking the entire time of course.
Big Baby and his two rolls |
This is clearly not Zunzi’s fault. Like I said, the Conquistador
and falafel are good, but if you are like Big Baby and you don’t like
condiments, check with Zunzi’s before ordering a sandwich.
So, what is the lesson here?
Don’t mess with a good thing. Get the Conquistador and go
home happy.
