Meatless Mike at Ike's Place (photo by DocPop)
Ike’s Place is amazing! A true gem, I had no idea I could like a sandwich (or sandwich place) this much.
They have a creative menu with great names and signs that are fitting to the effort that goes into the recipes. I was thrilled to find tons of veggie options.
They also seem to always have a line from which you have time to study the menu. This is a feature, not a bug.
My first choice was the Meatless Mike. (If I weren’t a vegetarian, I’d have jumped on the limited edition Doctor Popular collectible sandwich, and not just because I was dining with him.)
Fresh bread is baked to order. I had Dutch Crunch since they recommended it as the perfect combination for this sandwich — a crisp crust but soft bread inside to soak up the sauce.
A bit of pepper Jack really pulled together the vegan meatballs over-the-top messy marinara and the works: lettuce, pepporcini, pickles. Insanely goo. I’m still salivating just writing about it.
I will definately return to review more selections, and hopefully will have a guest blogger to cover the DocPop.
