Lunch c/o Sabrina's Cafe

My less-frequently-in-the-office-because-he-lives-in-another-country boss took me out to lunch on Monday to have a little face time. We went to Sabrina's Cafe...not the one all on Christian Street but the one on Callowhill. I ordered the Tuscan Chicken Sandwich and opted for the parmesan fries...and an Arnold Palmer (yeah, that's right, half lemonade, half iced tea, bitches). Perhaps you can't tell but the portions were kind of stupid....in their big-ness. The fries weren't all that great but the flavor of the sandwich was good. Chicken well cooked and spiced, the bread nice and thick and able to stand up to all its fillings' juicy drippings. Artichoke hearts! Red peppers! Tomatoes that didn't make me sick! And a side of their version of slaw that was entirely free of mayonnaise, and we know how I like that.
The place had a kind of diner-like feel but instead of serving $5 sandwiches it served $10...and the people serving were all of the attractive and hip variety. There sure are a whole lot of attractive, skinny and hip people working in the service industry in Philadelphia.

When Deirdre organized a Philly Presidents' day trip over...Presidents' day, my smug-ass NY friend Gabe kept feigning shock at how hip and attractive everyone was at cafes and stuff.

I punched him in the neck.
