Each day is a different adventure; I tend to find myself adventuring more often than your average person.
I found a little sandwich shop called Ba Le a while back. Now usually sandwiches are not really my forte`, essentially I just go to subway and forget the rest of the details. However this shop had an interesting twist attached to it: Ba Le is a Vietnamese/french hybrid sandwich mutation. They put together these fantastic sandwiches made out of shrimp, pork, beef, or chicken prepared through all sorts of cooking methods. Seriously, these things are like the Wolverine of sandwiches. They also cost a measly $3 for about 9 inches of sandwich, which you really cant go wrong with.
Do note, that this place has the 24 hours a day sign on its window. So whenever you get that 3am “i am hungry lets go get some food” you can pick up some good cheap eats. There is however one little note to about the staff and service: the night staff is generally unhappy. For instance, several trips back I made a slight mistake in ordering, one that I will advise to others to never make.
As I approached the counter I asked “Hey, could I get a number ten..err sorry. A number eleven” a simple mistake of speech that many people make. Under normal situations this would be no big deal, the person taking the order would recognize the mistake and everything would be okay. However Ba Le apparently does not put up with this shit. I received a number ten, so naturally I went up to get the order corrected. “No, you order number ten” the clerk told me. I told him that I actually ordered a number eleven, “NO, you order TEN” he told me again. So I ate the number ten that day, it was a little intense but I got over it, the number ten is still just as good as the eleven. They also had coffee, it was terrible.
Scores:
food: 4/5
service: 2/5(the day crew could be nice)
coffee: 1/5(never again)
cost: inexpensive
