This is the sandwich that started the 'creative' juices flowing. It might not look like anything too incredible when captured with my phone, but I can assure you it was pretty good, overall.
How good was it?
Let me tell you.
Wethersfield Pizza, undoubtedly, gave me one hell of a chicken cutlet grinder experience. I mean...look at the picture I took. It's huge! There's FOUR cutlets in there! And that's just a half grinder!(No I can't stop yelling!)
With that being said, while very tender, the cutlets weren't anything outrageous. The breading seemed par for the course. Yeah, there might have been a pound of chicken on my grinder, but would a little oregano or basil hurt? If I'm getting that much chicken, make it stand out!
The peppers added a nice flavor to the sandwich without overpowering the other ingredients. The provolone was, well, provolone. Sadly enough, the bread was the one thing I'd like to point out as being above ordinary. I had asked to have the grinder oven toasted, but unlike what you might typically see at your corner grinder shop as 'oven toasted', this was actually placed in a pizza oven and warmed to perfection. The outside layer was crispy, but not too crispy. Even the ends were edible. But back to the cutlets, seeing as this was a chicken cutlet sandwich.
To be honest with you, I don't know what I was expecting. I've had my fair share of cutlets in the past. Sure, these were better than most, but they weren't as earth-shattering as the sign out front would indicate. You'd think an establishment that claims it's 'The Home of the Chicken Cutlet' would blow your mind, right? Don't get me wrong...had the gentleman assembling my grinder added more sauce, I might be singing an entirely different tune right now. I think a good cutlet sandwich is made up of two parts. The chicken, and the sauce. More sauce=better.
If it came down to just the cutlets; not having eaten a bare cutlet from either my favorite sandwich shop(Nardelli's) or WP, I can't say which cutlet would win in a blind taste test. But I'm not ashamed to say that'd be one test I would be happy to take.
For now I'm going to give this a middle to high rating, as we haven't come up with a concrete rating system yet. Especially for chicken cutlets.
Food for thought, or at least until I stop by again and order it with more sauce.
Bring on the hate.
