The bun report


Put this date down, Sept. 30. That's when the sandwich equation in Lowell will rise to a whole new level. I got a sneak peak of Dharma Buns last night and what I saw, trust me on this, was a biz on the verge of success. If design can tell you anything (and it can) they have put some serious time and attention into the Market Street sandwich shop. Owner John and his PR son Alex have given intense consideration into their bread. The steak sandwich (made w/ sliced sirloin) will be served on a bun they went to great lengths to create. "There's a sandwich shop in Hoboken that makes the best rolls. We bought a couple, brought it to our baker and said, 'do this,'" Alex said.
This dedication outta be commended.
Belgian fries, cut and soaked overnight and flash fried, with go down nicely with Belgian beer. "Why carry what everyone has?" said John. Indeed. In keeping w/ the Dharma Bun theme, a mini bookstore selling Jack Kerouac books and the works of his beat buddies Ginsberg and Burroughs will be set up in the corner. Late-night hours, till 2 a.m. on wkends., couches, high-top tables and drop-lighting will be a nice addition to the downtown.

What great news! I work in the same building and have been dying for news about their opening!

This sounds great. Regarding Belgian beer, are we talking the real deal - Trappists, Dubbels, Tripels? I will believe it when I see it.

Great. I've been looking forward to this!

Great news indeed! I've been waiting patiently and that sign has been teasing me too long. Can't wait to have lunch there!

Speaking of sandwiches...have you had the cuban sandwich at Cafe Madrid yet? I haven't, but I had dinner there and it was fantastic, so I'm thinking of trying out the lunch menu.

People who are fans of Belgian fries and Belgian beer are quite serious about the stuff. It would be fantastic to be able to enjoy both of these things locally!

Until now, Duckfat in Portland, Maine has had the nearest thing to a real Belgian fry that I've sampled on these shores. Hope for hometown fry excellence is running high.

GG: Where are you? Missed this blog!

I discovered that Gourmet Gal is now BistroBroad.com
