Egghead Salad
The San Francisco Main Library, in addition to books, videos, magazines, newspapers and a dynamite little bookshop that sells used and new books at terrific prices, has a pretty decent cafe in the lower level, down by the art gallery where there are changing exhibitions to while away the occasional lunch hour.
They have some hot entrees but because they make delicious fresh sandwiches, always garnished with their signature bright orange carrot slices, I usually opt for finger food.
This is their egg salad sandwich with fresh lettuce and slices of ripe tomato on soft whole wheat bread. It's a belly buster, really too much to finish in one sitting. You have to stretch your mouth w-i-d-e to get a bite and, even so, some of the egg salad always plops out the other side - it's best to lean well over your plate!
Good, fresh food and excellent reading light - what more could an egghead ask for?

yummmmmmmm,
Now I am craving a egg salad sandwhich!
Off to make sure I have the ingredients.....
I'm not much of a sandwich eater. Probably has something to do with the fact that I rarely have bread around, with the exception of the occasional English muffins. But if I'm in the Financial District at lunchtime, I cannot resist Specialty's.
Just Me, yes, aren't they always the best?
Dagny, I love that you always know a cool place to eat, wherever you are!
