I recently posted my homage to Grilled Cheese. There is however a grilled sandwich that can take all manner of ingredients and morph into whatever your heart desires.

The sky and your culinary imagination are the limit. As a single dude I had one of those Proctor Silex sandwich makers with the non stick coated surface. My best friend Joey used to say " Dude I could sit down with a loaf of white bread and a pound of American cheese and one of those machines and just go to town."
Toasty - Melty- Crispy. OMG its all good.
THE PANINI
I was in downtown DC and visited Amorini Panini this past week. On the 900 block of F Street NW which is a great block filled with great shops, this storefront offers up some wonderful sandwiches. The place is walking distance from Treasury and a dozen museums and attractions. The International Spy Museum is right up the block.
The name sums it up - Love for the Panini.
The space itself is phenomenal . The interior is finished in bright colors - raw wainscot and exposed brick. On the walls hang vintage photo's of DC that look like they have been pulled from the National Archives. The guy behind the counter has this infectious smile, a great manner and killer customer service skills.
We tried the Caprese, The Turkey Rueben and The Montana Buffalo Chicken . All were on the money. Great crust on the bread. Nice caramelized grill marks and a hearty crunch. The Turkey Rueben was stacked with just the right amount of high quality pastrami. The Caprese was a great non meat offering. They smear this excellent Pesto spread on the bread which is a great finish. I truly love hot tomatoes and this sandwich made the trip worthwhile. Moist and melted and full of flavor.
The Montana Buffalo Chicken deserves it own paragraph - Chunks of moist chicken well marinated in hot sauce- pepper jack cheese and thin sliced green peppers. This one was stuffed with plenty of meat and cheese and cooled by a dollop or ranch dressing.
I read up on some Yelps on this place and the general feeling is that these guys have got a good thing going on. And finally - they have diet Dr. Pepper.
Check them out online before you go:
If you are in the area- give these folks a try. I consider it a great bargain where most sandwiches are under $6.00.
