Recker-mendation: Honey on the Table

I am embarrassed to admit that it took me this long to make it to Honey on the Table. It is in my neighborhood after all. But the good news is I finally made it. And, wow. I was immediately impressed with the menu. While it isn’t huge, it has just the right combination of sandwiches and salads to make it the perfect lunchtime stop. And while the space is small, it lends an intimacy to the entire experience. The owner was extremely helpful, explaining all of the menu items and pointing out her favorites.

I opted for the Great Granny Smith, a BLT with thinly sliced Granny Smith apples and cheddar on house-made raisin bread. The combination of the crisp apple, the salty bacon, the savory cheese, and the slightly sweet bread is outstanding. It’s so outstanding, I wonder why I haven’t thought of this particular combination before. It seems to go together better than peanut butter and jelly. I will definitely be stopping in again soon to have another.

My lunch mate, Sarah, chose the Boar’s Head Turkey sandwich, served deluxe with Havarti cheese and house-made peach pepper jam. While I didn’t taste it, I can attest that it looked delicious… and also humungous! Sarah was able to eat only half of it before giving in and saving the rest for later.

Honey on the Table does not offer fountain sodas, but they do have a nice selection of beverages in bottles and a large container of lemonade on the counter. The day that I visited, the lemonade du jour was ginger lemonade- it hit the spot on the 100+ degree day.

You can view the full menu online. I can’t wait to go back and try some of their salads. The baked goods looked amazing too!

I Shall Call You The Cobb Salad Sandwich

A few weeks ago, Jon and I visited Calhoun Street Soups, Salads, & Spirits for the first time. We were impressed with the decor- it is cozy and has that sought after neighborhood bar feel. It definitely seemed like a good place to hang out on a weekend afternoon.

The menu had some interesting items too: fried dill pickle spears, build-your-own hamburger on a pretzel bun, and the Egg Salad BLT, which is what I had and thoroughly enjoyed. Thinking back on that sandwich, I started dreaming about ways in which I’d approve it, and voila, the Cobb Salad Sandwich was born: Egg salad, lettuce, tomato, bacon and avocado! Mmmmm.

I rarely use recipes when I prepare meals, so I will do my best to map out what you will need.

  • 6-8 hard boiled eggs, chopped
  • mayo
  • blue cheese crumbles
  • Dijon mustard
  • oregano
  • cayenne pepper
  • salt
  • pepper
  • Avocado
  • Bacon
  • lettuce
  • tomato
Mix together first 8 ingredients to taste- I prefer real mayo over Miracle Whip, but it depends on what you like. I use the cayenne pepper very liberally because I like some kick in each bite. Once the egg salad is mixed, assemble sandwich on your favorite bread. We used Light Rye. Serve it up with a pickle spear and some cottage cheese with homegrown chives.
