Nothing against the core sandwiches featured on the Grevey’s menu. But why would I sip from a teacup when I can drink from the river?
The metaphorical font in question is the $10.50 soup/salad buffet Grevey’s rolls out each weekday at lunch.
A Grevey’s staffer confirmed that there is always a trio of meats—roast beef and turkey remain static, variables like brisket or honey-baked ham rotate in—on the carving board. Factor in unlimited slices of American and Swiss cheese, a bounty of breads (Kaiser rolls, wheat/white/rye) and the homemade chicken salad (quite meaty) on the salad bar, and you’ve got enough artillery to win the war against hunger many times over.
