All Star Sandwich Bar
The other night I made the quick walk over to Inman Square to check out the somewhat new place All Star Sandwich Bar.
Located at the intersection of Prospect and Cambridge street in Cambridge, MA (the real cambridge) I think it replaced a fairly good Chinese place. But if you haven’t been there I suggest you go, I had one of the best sandwiches I’ve eaten in a long time.
Of course since I eat out in Westford, MA (a place well known for it’s fine foods, diversity, and culture *cough*) almost everyday my judgment may be a bit off from the norm. But I can’t wait to go back there, they serve beer and wine with a cozy area to sit and eat and are open until 9 or 10pm. Do you trust a starving mans food recommendations? Up to you.
Check another one off
All Star is just the start a plan to expand my eatery options in the boston area. My roommate and I recently cut out the Weekly Dig‘s Fall Dining Guide and put it up on the wall with a marker close by so we can check off the new places as we go to them. Not that I trust the Dig more than say Phantom Gourmet, but it came in an easy to use free print out that we could write all over.
I think next up is El Oriental De Cuba in J.P. for some Cuban style food.












As much as I wanted to, I just wasn’t able to warm up to the All Star Sandwich Bar. The food seemed good, and the waitstaff was all right, but perhaps all the hype about the place made me go in with high expectations. Maybe now that all the buzz has stopped, I should try it again.
