Sammich from Ula Cafe, Stony Brook

Well, I had been wanting to try some sammiches from Ula Cafe in the Sam Adam's brewery complex. Somewhere I read a positive review of their "limited edition" tuna and eggplant caponata sandwich. So I ordered a half-sammich on the phone and took a long stroll with Aster for a pond-side picnic. Plus water, and tangerine, of course.

This sandwich creation would have been excellent if it had been toasted. The tuna was a bit dry, and could have benefited from the melty unctuousness of sharp white cheddar. Also, the kalamata olive spread really overpowered the other flavors in the sandwich. I would order it again, but toasted, and without the olive spread.

Next time I might try their turkey with guacamole and bacon. Slab o' fat, what? I'd order another half-sammich, because that's a good picnic size with a piece of fruit and a beverage. They really packed in the tuna, so it was quite filling. The bread was sprouted wheat, and quite tasty. They seem to serve many of their sammiches on semolina bread, though. I would like to find out what that bread entails.

They also serve varying egg strata at Ula Cafe, so I'm interested in an early lunch or brunch there sometime.
