With all the buildup, scenesters were ready to beat down the doors at Graham Elliot’s casual, counter-service sandwich spot. No need, since it finally opened. The thing is, while $10 per sandwich may be affordable compared to the restaurant graham elliot, it’s pretty pricey given the portions. However, that’s not to say what you get is anything but good. The beef short rib Sammie on a pretzel roll, slathered with creamy horseradish with pickled shallots, watercress and skinny frites, delivers what you’d expect: skillfully executed (though not knock-your-socks-off), hearty sustenance. The updated, pressed jibarito---fall-apart pork shoulder with green mango, salty queso fresco and habanero mustard sandwiched between crispy, flattened plantains---is tasty, too, but it’s no Borinquen. You can get the truffle oil popcorn GE is famous for, house soft-serve and creative house sodas, too, like refreshing lemon grass-lime leaf.
