Lob Roll Contest...
...so I inadvertently held a Lob Roll Contest this weekend. On Saturday, we found ourselves at Akwa for lunch. I felt like a Lob Roll, since I hadn't had one yet this season. I think it was $33, if I remember correctly. It was massive...big chunks of meat, minimal mayo and other junk. A Purist's delight. Served on a round Brioche-type roll with lettuce. Excellent.
On Sunday, we had to get out of the house to not go crazy with all the rain and after some errands in Gilford, ended up in Patricks. I decided to go with their Lob Roll. $29, I think. Prepared very similar to Akwa with minimal mayo. Lots of meat in the traditional buttered and grilled hot dog-type roll. Excellent as well.
And the winner is.....Akwa by a nose. I've never had a lob roll that big with that much meat.
