GrubGrade

Earlier this week I posted a Hitting the Road article about my experience with a little sandwich shop called Ike’s Place.  I raved about this San Francisco grub spot and how amazing my sandwich was.  I thought this short video about Ike’s Place would be a nice complement to that post.  Check it out…

On the front page of the Ike’s Place website it is written:

This ain’t your momma’s sandwich shop. Or your dad’s. Or your gramma’s, cousins, dog’s or cat’s, spiritual advisor’s, CEO’s, or hamster’s. We offer hand-crafted, finger-lickin’-good, fresh-baked, so-good-that-every-description-is-hyphenated, delicious sandwiches to the masses, made how you want them, be you meat eater, vegetarian, or veganite.

Hard to describe it any better than that.  There are a TON of sandwich options at San Francisco’s Ike’s Place (located 3506 16th Street between Prosper & Sanchez) that will surely convince you that this place makes some killer grub.

So many delicious items to choose from and some with interesting tastes and names. (more…)

As promised, I hit up Ike’s Place in San Francisco today.  I decided to be sly and call in my order and avoid the super long lines.  Well I called at 3pm and the guy on the other line says… “It’ll be ready at 5pm”…. yikes…2 hour wait.  I forged ahead and said “No problem, I’ll take the #85 Super Mario (All Beef Meatballs, Mozzarella Sticks, Marinara)”.  I took the 2 hour wait as an opportunity to check out a couple places I had planned on seeing.  I’ll give you my full impressions on my sandwich and Ike’s Place in an upcoming post.  Teaser:  Believe the Hype.

Hey everyone…I’m heading to the Bay Area for the weekend and of course I’ll be grubbing with the best of them.  I read about this sandwich shop in San Fran called Ike’s Place last month and I’m looking forward to giving it a try.  Oh and if you caught Man vs Food on Wednesday night, Adam Richman went to Ike’s and sampled #188, Doomsday.  Well I’m not going for the Doomsday because I’m not bringing a family of 4 to help me finish it.  I’m thinking maybe #85 Super Mario or perhaps #90 Get Over It…ooh or maybe #132 Change.  Whatever I end up choosing, I’ll be sure to take pictures and give you my impressions here on GrubGrade.  I’ll be tweeting over the weekend on my grubbing progress if you’re interested in following along… Twitter.com/GrubGrade.
