PrintStarwich - your opinions?
Anybody try this place? There's one on Wall Street here in NYC, but I've got to believe there are others. No, to my knowledge it's not affiliated with any Craft offshoots, although there is that confusion. Relatively expensive, particularly because the base sandwich (yep, you do the work here) is underportioned and contains only 4 ingredients if I recall, and one of those is your protein. (This is coming from a guy who thinks that good cooked ham and gruyere on buttered baguette is probably the greatest sandwich going, so I know 4 ingredients sounds like enough, but a Starwich, it doesn't add up to much.) Any opinions of this place or its backing? - I'm curious.

There are 6 locations so far (7th in the works) in nyc and others in other states. I've ordered delivery from wall st before before and i loved the sandwich i created. I thought it was a decent size and it was satisfying. My husband on the other hand, came up with some weird concoction and was definitely not as happy. But they arent responsible for bad combos. -http://www.starwich.com/

There's one on 38th and Sixth Avenue that I used to go to sometimes when I worked on 42nd Street. I had the same reaction as you, Sandro, regarding price. For the size of sandwich you get, it seems fairly steep. But I have to admit, the "grilled cheese" -- ham, apple, endive, honey dijon, and white truffle oil on a nice crunchy ciabatta roll -- is really really good. Had it a handful of times but didn't go much simply because of the price and the distance -- there was a Pret in the lobby of my building at the time.

Oh -- typically I hate that set-up, where YOU have to mix and match the bread, protein, cheese, veggies/toppings. Luckily, they do have some standard sandwiches, but in general, I hate having to come up with a combo. I'm not the sandwich artist; they are, presumably. So THEY should be making good combos. There's too much danger in letting me muck about with it.
