Tortas Guicho Dominguez y El Cubanito

Wow! What a name!
This long named Fountain Square restaurant has a lot of gourmet Mexican sandwiches. I think it's fun that they name their sandwiches after celebrities. The #1 is the Salma H. which has chicken breast, ham, and mozzarella. Or the Shakira has breaded steak, chorizo and mozzarella. I went with the #10 Eduardo V.
It had ham, breaded steak, hot dog and queso blanco on it. All of their tortas come with mayo, avocado, and tomato.This super meaty sandwich was very, very filling! I ordered this because I was curious about the breaded steak and hot dog. The really nice waitress told me that they cut the hot dog length wise and cook it in a pan and press all the grease out. The breaded steak wasn't bad. I think because it was pressed so thin, it made it difficult to get very much beef flavor so it just tasted like breading. The bread was very thick and substantial enough for all of the meat and toppings. 

I definitely want to come back to this place and try a different sandwich. Maybe I'll get the France or the Enrique! If you're feeling really adventurous, you should try their Cubana Challenge! Eat 3 Cubanas in 30 minutes and get $100 plus entire table's meal is free! But if you fail then your entire table has to pay double. Let me know if you do it. :-)

Santorini Greek Kitchen

I was super excited to try this place for a couple of reasons:
1. I was having a craving for Greek food; specifically saganaki (flaming cheese)!
2. I had the privilege of having lunch with my good friend, Ben, and his girlfriend, Jessica.

Unfortunately, I was so anxious for the saganaki that I completely failed to take a picture before eating all of it. I'm really sorry... Also, this is the first time I'm using my "new" phone, so hopefully the pictures (for the food I take pictures of) turn out ok. Anyway, I really liked the saganaki here. Not only did it taste really good (how could melted goat cheese not?!), but the show was great! The very charismatic waiter came out, lit the dish on fire and yelled OPPA! If you come here, be prepared to hear quite a few OPPAs!

For my entree, I ordered the moussaka platter. I wanted to see how different it was from the moussaka at Canal Bistro. First of all, I thought it looked really good. You could clearly see the layers of potatoes, eggplant and ground beef. It didn't have the smell of cinnamon that Canal Bistro's moussaka did, which was unfortunate since that was one of my favorite things about it. I also thought it had too much of a tomato flavor. But really, the food wasn't bad at all... I just think Canal Bistro has become my new standard for moussaka. :-/


Service was great. The waiter was outgoing, but not over the top, although he did give a business card..? He was attentive and very nice. Can't ask for much else.
