Goin Back To Cali

2 pieces of  insanely good news:

1. The weather is nice enough for me to start walking to work everyday.
2. I officially did NOT need a jacket this morning.


cardi: Urban Outfitters (Im completely obsessed with this colour)
trousers: Aritzia
blouse: H&M
cutout broges: Urban Outfitters


On a completely unrelated note: i love a good sandwich.  Tasty, portable.....whats not to like??  Especially if it comes with dipping sauce and is so big you work every cheek/jaw muscle to shove into your mouth.

Enter California Sandwiches (or "sandwichs" as theyve adorably mispelled):


They are best known for their veal parm sandwiches, but Im not a huge veal fan, so I opted for their breaded chicken.  The BF got the meatball sandwich:


My breaded chicken sandwich was absolutly TO DIE FOR.  The chicken was cooked, or should I say fried, to perfection and the sauteed mushrooms really added flavour & texture.  I chose not to get cheese because I thought it would have made the already heavy sandwich a bit too much.  The kaiser bun was fluffy, fresh & white.....with zero nutritional value but oh-so-damn-good:


I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the meatball sandwich.  I think they used too many breadcrumbs in the meatballs - they were a bit spongey and could have used a bit more seasoning:


Please note that the cherry-on-the-sandwich-sundae is THE SAUCE.  Its basically sugo (Italian marinara sauce) but a bit more watery; perfect for dunking a hearty sandwich into.  No matter what you order from California Sandwiches, you MUST get the dipping sauce.  Its spicy, salty, and incredibly flavourful.  My mouth waters just thinking about it......*drool*


Nonna would DEFINITELY approve.
