Special Vegetarian at Blimpie is Especially Weird
Midtown Lunch has a revolting review of the "spiciest sandwich in midtown": the “off the menu” Special Vegetarian at Blimpie on 46th Street. The madness starts with a standard Blimpie roll topped with crushed Doritos and American cheese. After that, “the whole thing is put in the microwave (yes, you heard me right) to melt the cheese (naturally) and then topped with almost every vegetable Blimpie offers (lettuce, tomato, carrots, onions, green bell peppers, pickled hot peppers) before getting finished off with this neon green spicy “chutney” which is fancy code for jarred habanero sauce… This sandwich need not answer to anyone!”

I think I need a Zantac after just reading that description. It should stay off the menu.

I can't FIND a Blimpie any more. The ones I used to go to, 7th Ave & 30th and 5th and 35th, both gone for Wamus or some other bank. Time for a Blimpie offensive to counter the all pervasive Subway.
Blimpie sandwiches are much softer and the counterpeople seem much more generous with the fixins than at Subway, where I frequently have to ask for more. No Subway bakery odor, either.

for the 9000th time, cheese can be about as vegetarian as veal:

still, this sounds like a funny sandwich for those of us with strong stomachs.

the cheese sandwich with doritos and cilantro sauce is called the Masala sandwich at a deli on 26th street between 7th and 6th. its great. don't diss it till you try it.
