Paladar

The other day, I got lunch at school from the culinary paladar. My friend ordered the chicken sandwich and I got the Asian sliders. We each had half of the sandwich and one of the sliders. The chicken tender sandwich reminded me a lot of a flagpole sandwich that I can get from Misty Vale or the General Store. The chicken was almost the same, but the thing that really stood out to me was the bread that the sandwich was on. It was a rosemary focaccia, as opposed to the poppy seed roll that I would get at one of the local delis. I thought the rosemary added a very nice complimentary flavor to the sandwich, and I also enjoyed the flatter focaccia style. As much as I liked the chicken sandwich, I think I liked the Asian sliders a little bit more. The meat was cooked to perfection and the wasabi mayo was amazing. I didn’t really know what to expect when I saw that on the menu, but I decided to try it anyway. I always thought of wasabi as a very spicy food, but when it was paired with the mayo and candied bacon, it just left a nice sweet tang in my mouth. I don’t think I’ve had anything quite like that slider before and I really enjoyed it. I can’t wait until the next paladar so I can try out some more new and delicious foods at school. Jake Lambert
