It's A Bird, It's A Plane, It's Joey's EatLafayette Special!

On the surface, the EatLafayette special at Joey's Specialty Foods and Catering sounds incredible.

Allow me to demonstrate – Turkey, Duck and Chicken thinly sliced with mozzarella & hot pepper cheese, lettuce and tomato on a jalapeno sourdough bun with Sweet Potato Fries. Yeah. See? Told you.

Even the price sounds delicious - at $7.98 this sandwich is clearly a steal. 

So you order, grab a block with a number carved into it, pick a table and sit. The server comes and sets this amazing monstrosity in front of you. You stare for a minute. Then you take a bite.

It's like nothing you've ever tasted. The duck, chicken and turkey meld together into this flavorful super meat and the cheese that's generously melted ontop of it is the cape on the superhero. Lauren and I (Are you seeing a trend here folks? We'll both be big as the house come August 15th.) modified the sandwich a bit and added avocado. If you're an avocado lover, it's a must. However, I truly believe the sandwich would have fared well on it's own. The sweetness of the sourdough and the flavor of the jalapeno are what gives this behemoth the power to leap tall buildings in a single bound. (I bought a 6-pack of them - for around $5 - for the sandwiches that I'll make for my hubby at home that won't even measure up to this one.) And don't even get me started on the kryptonite that is the sweet potato fry.

This is one EatLafayette Special that you simply CANNOT miss.
