Corned Beef Sandwich with Gruyere

#74 Corned Beef Sandwich with Gruyere at The Sentinel

7x7 The Big Eat SF 2009: 100 Things to Try Before You Die


Every day that I don't bring a lunch is a reminder of how lucky I am to be working in the SF Financial District because there are countless equally amazing food joints that line the streets. Today, I opted for a corned beef sandwich at the Sentinel. It's on the 7x7 list and although I've had it before, I never had the opportunity to photograph it for all of you to see.

Corned beef, gruyere, cabbage (seems to be somewhat pickled) and russian dressing fill 2 slices of warm foccacia bread for $8.75. Yep, kinda steep for what it is, but unfortunately these are the prices you pay for lunch in the city. Though they change the menu with the seasons, you can expect this one to stay on throughout the year.

It's hard not to like this sandwich (since I love all of those ingredients separately), but make sure you eat it while it's hot. No one likes a cold corned beef sandwich without the gooey cheese. Also, if you're here during the summer, try the watermelonade - it's super refreshing and tastes like you just bit into an ice cold slice of watermelon - but better.

Verdict: If you love corned beef and cabbage, what's not to love about this?
