Zaddy’s - Review - Midtown - Atlanta - The Infatuation

"After a tough work day, the last thing you need are more decisions to make. The food hall at Politan Row in Colony Square is full of hard, equally appetizing choices—from pho to curry shrimp patties, so let's make an executive decision. Head to Zaddy’s, which takes your usual sub sandwiches to new heights. The cajun lemon pepper tuna sandwich and carrot cake bread pudding is our favorite meal to turn your midweek mentality from “f&ck it all” to “it’s almost Friday.” Food Rundown Cajun Lemon Pepper Tuna Salad Atlanta’s favorite spice takes a break from its usual partner, chicken, and lends its services to this chunky tuna salad. And we love it. That signature tang combines with a slightly spicy jerk mayo to give this sub sandwich a little zing without overpowering the tuna. photo credit: Courtesy of Zaddy's Grilled Balsamic Veggie Normally vegetarian sandwiches read like a run-of-the-mill salad with really large croutons. But not this one. The grilled thick slices of eggplant are meaty, chilled, and tender without getting mushy. The thick, soft multigrain bread would laugh at crouton comparisons and a heavy splash of balsamic plus a spicy jerk mayo brings the medley of other vegetables to life. Grilled Chicken This is a solid choice if you want to play it straight. The sub has a thick grilled chicken breast that’s kept nice and moist by the spicy jerk mayo. Plus, mixed greens and red onions help keep this traditional. photo credit: Courtesy of Politan Row Pastrami Grill This sandwich has the thickness of a copy of Gone With The Wind because of how many slices of pastrami there are in between the pressed rye bread. Melty cheddar cheese and a zesty house slaw doused in 1000 island dressing give this sandwich plenty of can’t-stop-eating-it flavor." - Nina Reeder
