Panino

Wow! Excellent steak and cheese sandwich and my lunch buddies were pleased with their fare as well. Accompanying french fries are better than most places. These leaned toward being a little crispy on the outside with that hot and soft center that makes fries a pleasure -- clearly fresh from the fryer. Panino is a Coke establishment. The fountain Diet-Coke, however, was bad. Flat and weak. As is my usual practice, I approached the friendly proprietor, told him the sandwich was terrific but that he would want to make some adjustment to the fountain Diet-Coke. He took a serious interest in my comment, and I had no doubt that he was going to attend to it that afternoon. He understood that a great sandwich and fries needs a fountain drink with the right balance of carbonation and syrup.
