The Mustang Sally's Edition....

Okay, here's what we 're gonna do. Just kinda play along with me and pretend that it hasn't been a million months since I last updated this here blog. I know the hits have been few and far between, but the extra-ordinary melts are difficult to find. I mean, there just aren't that many places looking to innovate on our beloved diner classic. That's not always a bad thing, however, especially after a hiatus from tuna-melts. Now the last place I had a melt at was just another in a series of open-faced sandwiches, so much to the point that I was starting to wonder if joints were trying to conserve bread or something. But not to worry, because I was running errands recently around 28th street and bumped into a spot named Mustang Sally's.



Nice looking place on the inside, clean, low light, pre-season baseball on three screens behind the bar, overall, my kinda place. So I slip into a booth and look over the menu given to me. Not that I really NEED to, but I wanted to check out the selection of brews they had available on tap since I wasn't dining @ the bar. I decided on the Shocktop over Sam Adams' Noble Pilsner, going with spicy over hoppy. I ordered and what Mustang Sally's delivered to me was a perfectly classic tuna melt on rye. They even serve it with the top on which was definitely a sight for sore eyes and the pannini grill marks were a perfect touch. Now, anyone who knows me will tell you that french fries are a BIG DEAL for me and if U read this thing regularly then you know that only ONE place can get away with serving up a melt without 'em. Mustang Sally's delivers not only on the sandwich itself, but their fries were also straight on the money. And the spicy orange tinted flavor of that Shocktop brew was the perfect compliment. So, s/o to Mustang Sally's for keeping it classic, fresh and tasty. I give their tuna melt 4 tomatoes outta five...

Til the next melt, See Ya!
