Re: BEST SANDWICH IN STAMFORD?

This is in response to J-Rod's BEST SANDWICH IN STAMFORD post.

I had to run a few errands during lunch today so I figured I would stop and get a chicken parm sandwich from Rinaldi's in Stamford since it seems to be all the rave.  I was very excited to finally get to eat it and my expectations were sky high.  As unwrapped the white paper and foil away from the sandwich my heart sank.  I was expecting charred bread with lots of red sauce and cheese pouring out of the sandwich, but what I saw was lightly brown bread with a little glimpse of chicken parm peaking out.  When I seperated the sandwhich in half it was the same disappointment.  Not saucey mess that J-Rod experienced.  My sandwich was kinda dry, with minimal cheese, and the chicken was a little tough, not that it stopped me from finishing it or anything.  It was a decent chicken parm.

Not sure if this was a result of a busy lunch hour and they rushed my sandwich, or the person that made mine does not have the same appreciation for sandwiches as they person who crafted J-Rods.  As Phil #14 once said, "Consistency in sandwiches is a mark of a good deli."  As a result of my experience today, I cannot declare the Rinaldi's Chicken Parm as the "Best in Stamford", sorry.

  1. wow im sorry to hear this news. I have had this sandwich over a dozen times and have yet to have a bad experience. Could have been the busy lunch hour, but there should be no excuses in the sandwich community.
