CAFÉ
XPRESS' THE
ROANOKER
As of press time, the Number
One sandwich to be found
in Roanoke is the "THE ROANOKER" at CAFÉ XPRESS.
This spot really is a little gem, with incredibly warm and
accommodating owners. Their premier sandwich has
engendered affection from all tasters. The owners hand carve
turkey and serve it with jerk seasoning, grilled peppers and
onions, melted cheddar and a typical supporting chorus of
lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise. Those in the know-which
now includes you-order the light meat/dark meat mix.
LESSONS
LEARNED:
BEST BREAD: Hands down, Viet Sub. They also sell their
baguettes individually a la carte.
MOST ACCOMMODATING STAFF: Bernard's Gastropub. Staff
all over were certainly kind, but one location stands out.
At each restaurant, we would ask that the sandwiches be
cut into thirds, fourths, etcetera, so we could all try each
sandwich. Bernard's was the only restaurant to catch on to
what we were doing and actually serve us four plates with
the multiple sandwiches already portioned out!
BEST SURPRISE DESSERT DISCOVERY: The Cream Puff at
Montano's. It is the size of a pregnant grapefruit, with a
filling much closer to a cannoli than a typical cream puff.
After his first bite, Cody just stared off into space for a
minute contemplating life. It is terrifically good.
BEST UNSOLICITED ADVICE: Honey mustard IS good on
onion rings!

If you are still thinking about the sandwich that started it all, the Sailor, the
best in Roanoke deserves an honorable mention: head down to Bernard's
Gastropub. Tell 'em GGARCOR sent you. I
