In a follow up to my previous entry, I had lunch at the Santa Cruz Market. Though I should have had one of their many Mediterranean specialties, I opted for the Tri-Tip sandwich, which was on special today for $3.99. I also picked up bag of chips and a bottle of Mountain Dew to go with it.
I ordered my sandwich and once again found the service to be excellent. The bread was fresh and the sandwich had several large pieces of tri-tip in a pretty good barbecue sauce. I asked for smoked gouda cheese, onions, pickles and pepperoncinis, which were added without question.
They don't have a soda fountain, but there are some tables over in the liquor area of the store that will soon be used for wine tastings. I sat there comfortably and enjoyed my sandwich. I make a pretty good tri-tip myself, and so seldom order one when I go out. I find that I can make a tri-tip better than most restaurants, using my big Weber charcoal barbecue and a slow cooking method. When I do order tri-tip, the categories are worse than mine, as good as mine, or better than mine. This was as good as mine, and when cost was factored in, it turned out to be a good lunch.
I was offered a sample of their falafel, which I tried and found tasty. Next time, I definitely try one of the Mediterranean dishes.
