I think there is something admirable in BIG & little's seeming dedication to coming up with new sandwich ideas that are both a) irresistable to me, and b) way too much food for me to eat in one sitting. Though probably not in my inability to just say no.
Consider this pork belly po boy that I ate back around February
Damn thing near killed me. Since then, I adopted their pork tenderloin po boy as my go-to order, a sandwich that by itself was only
slightly too much to eat. Though I don't believe I've ever walked out of there without an order of fries on the side.
And now, this damn thing
That is their buffalo bleu cheese pork sausage po boy. I think they may have finally come up with something that I won't finish.
Digging into this at my desk, I first wished I had more hot sauce. Then I wished I had a fork and knife. Then I remembered that there are plastic forks and knives in the kitchen, and a bottle of Frank's* in my desk drawer.
This thing, like several of the other sandwiches I've ordered from this place, is excessive. It's a good combination, hot sauce + bleu cheese is of course a classic but the pork sausage plays very well in that mix, though maybe not quite as well as a nice crispy chicken wing would. I think there's a good sandwich here. I just think this one has... ratio issues.
I'm sitting here trying to finish it, as it slowly disintegrates its foil wrapper. I'm promising myself to skip a few meals in the near future.** I'm trying. I'm not sure I'm up to the task.
Though they are still at the old location, I spoke to Tony while waiting and he says they're going to try to be up and running at the new address by Monday. I got the impression that was a
very optimistic goal though.
* 'cause the 7-11 by my office doesn't carry Louisiana Hot Sauce
** or, let's be honest, at least skip having seconds.
