#4 of 48: Chicken Salad at the Volunteer Park Cafe

With the fourth sandwich, a debate begins between us. How exactly are we rating these sandwiches? Are we comparing them to the other sandwiches on the list? Or, are we judging them on an individual basis? Just how good is this chicken salad sandwich seeing how it's a familiar concept to us? After chatting for a bit, we decide that we should rate each sandwich on its own, not as part of a 48 sandwich unit (if you know what I mean).

The Volunteer Park Cafe & Marketplace is a hip little joint that feels like it could be tucked into a hidden corner of Brooklyn. I love how it is integrated into the surrounding neighborhood, and like to envision myself hanging out there if I were lucky enough to live right next door. Not to mention taking a stroll to its namesake park afterwards...

The chicken salad itself is lovely and fresh with crunchy apples and celery in the mix. We both felt the baguette took the sandwich to another level, though. Alas, it's a chicken salad sandwich—not the most exciting thing, but a comforting classic. For more details, read what Seattle Magazine had to say about it.

Oh, and did I mention the cereal bars? Actually, I'll let the photo below speak for itself.
