Chicken Sandwiches

I almost always order a chicken sandwich/burger when I eat out. It is really one of my favorite things. Perhaps because I don't make sandwiches much at home? Maybe because restaurants usually have an unusual or upgraded twist to them? Whatever it is, I like to order it! So on the weekend I found myself in downtown Vancouver in a Cactus Club for my Cousin M's b-day.

We started the evening with a round of Bellini's. These are seriously delicious. I would have had a lime margarita - but it was almost $10 and wasn't even blended. If you are spending that kind of money I expect it to be blended into a limalicious fury and served in a big girl's glass. So, Bellini's it was. And they were peachy :)
Naturally, I ordered the Cajun Chicken Cheddar Sandwich. Now, before I go into my ranting review - I must say that this meal was good. I was happy to eat it, and thankful I didn't cook it. My Cousin A had the same thing and loved it! And although I am about to describe in detail all the things they could have done, it was still satisfying!

Okay, here I go.... First off - the presentation was okay, I mean I was starving so I would have ate that off of a paper plate! I always order fries when I go out. I can eat all the salad I want at home - but I never make fries. So I order them, and I love them. These.... well there is only one word "McCain". Seriously, I could have opened up a bag from my freezer too.

Okay moving on. Oh the drinks. This is how much of it I had devoured before my food arrived.


The sandwich. The chicken was a bit thin - I would have liked to have tasted it. The spice was really mild - which I can appreciate for those who don't enjoy spicy food - but it does have "Cajun" in the title. The bun - white, twice as thick as the chicken and had no flavor. They missed such a huge opportunity here. Multi grain, sourdough, ciabatta, baguette, flat bread.... so many possibilities. The lettuce - shredded, the mayo - plain. This all gave it a slightly fast food feel. Where is the garlic aioli people???



Alright that is enough! I was happy to have this meal with awesome relatives and had a great evening. It was tasty and did hit the spot!! This of course is just my opinion.... until the next chicken sandwich of course!!


What do you always order when you go out?

Fries or Salad??


Enjoy
