It's a very limited menu at this point–chili, sliders, fries and an Italian sausage and peppers on the baguette. The sliders come in short rib, lamb, and pork form, but I was put off by them calling a trio of them a “Menage a Trois.” Don't paint me as a prude–I'm all about Carmella Bing right now–but, seriously? Calling a threesome of something a menage a trois? HOW edgy.

Instead, I went for the sausage and peppers–nearly perfect. Peppers and onions sauteed to that magical near-caramelized state, when the juices seep onto the bread to make the fluff soft but not make the full bread soggy. A chewy, peppery sausage.
