Andorka S Sandwich Shop Is All That And A Side Of Homemade Chips

• Roast beef sandwich and chips

Like many people who work in offices and who would rather sleep as late as possible instead of getting up early to prepare and pack elaborate lunches, I eat a lot of sandwiches. I wouldn’t say I’m a connoisseur exactly, but I have some firm opinions about what makes a good sandwich.

Pleasing though the sandwiches are, the real standout at Andorka’s is a side of their potato chips. Those are made on site, too, in a little fryer behind the counter, and they’re served up warm. They’re crisp and salty without being too greasy. You can choose from five dips, including mayo, green goddess, and honey butter, and those are very good, but what really makes those chips sing is the malt vinegar, in cruets on every table. In comparison, prepackaged chips, even the gourmet kind, like Cape Cod or Zapp’s, taste stale.
