#7 of 48: Crab Cake, Bacon + Avocado at Homegrown

As we've progressed with this little project of ours, patterns have started to emerge. Sandwiches aren't the easiest things to procure on evenings and Sundays. Since I work most Saturdays, filling our sandwich eating quota can be challenging.

The Fremont outlet of the Homegrown Sustainable Sandwich Shop is fortunately open on Sundays, but closes at 4:00 pm throughout the week. Why?! Do people seriously not eat sandwiches for dinner? I know we do!

The first time we tried to purchase this sandwich, we arrived 15 minutes too late. The second time (shown below), we were told they had run out of rolls. That day's sandwich artist ended up finding a day old roll that we were served (but still at full price, mind you). In the end, the bun seemed a bit too dense, but given the fact that it's supporting a crab cake, I can forgive that minor flaw.

The crab cake, bacon + avocado (regardless of bun age) was delightful. Full of flavor, this sandwich also possesses surprising bursts of citrus that make it very refreshing. Shawn initially gave this unique creation a B, but has grown to love the thought of it more over time. The biggest negative: the price to quantity ratio. The crab cake, bacon + avocado is not a good sandwich for sharing. Oh, well!
