"This Ballard spot puts spins on classic sandwiches, and they're plot twists that we don't see coming from a mile away. There’s a bacon club, only it features steak tartare. You’ll find falafel, but in giant patty form topped with harissa beets and smashed on a challah bun. And their take on corned beef is particularly outstanding—it involves thick meaty slabs, tangy pickled cabbage, and practically an entire bushel of fresh mint." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
