I know I have written about this place several times before,
but every time I write about it, someone tells me they try it for the first
time because of my post. And if I can turn just one person on to Taste that has
never been there before, well then my job is done. I probably go to Taste just
about weekly, although I rarely write about it because I usually get the same
thing. This time, we were with my
in-laws, so we got several different things and I got to try them all.
My classic, which is a BALT (bacon, avocado, lettuce and
tomato), ($7.25) was of course one of the choices. Taste is one of the few places you can trust
to get a decent tomato even in the winter.
The thing I like about this sandwich as I have said several times is
that they dress the greens, and there is also their great basil aioli on there to
boost the flavors of everything. The bacon is really good as well. I love this sandwich and it will always be
one of my favorites.
I also had some of hubby’s ham and egg wrap ($8.00) which is
scrambled eggs, ham, cheddar cheese, red onions, greens, roasted tomatoes and
roasted red pepper vinaigrette. This
thing is pretty huge, and definitely a shareable item. A couple of things that really stand out
about it—the eggs are incredibly light and fluffy—not those dense, dry things
you see a lot of places. And I really
like the addition of the vinaigrette—again, it just takes what are very good
ingredients up to the next level.
My mother-in-law also gave me a bite of her sandwich, the
“erin.” (great name) ($7.25). I have
always been intrigued by this sandwich because she swears by it, but had never
tried it. It was also really good. It
may be a potential future order for me.
It is a vegetarian sandwich with asparagus, sprouts, red onion,
provolone and Swiss cheese, basil aioli and Dijon dill sauce. Again, it’s the great and unique flavors of
the sauces that make the sandwich. It takes a bunch of ingredients that I
inherently like, but not sure if I would put them on a sandwich normally, and
makes them really delicious. I also
liked that there was enough cheese so that the sandwich had real substance, and
not too many sprouts (I don’t like sprouts when there are too many because they
make the texture off.) The asparagus
gave it a unique flavor as well.
Of course we had some of the frites ($4.50) too. It’s the
basil aioli dipping sauce that makes these for me. The fries themselves are thin and crisp and
nice and salty, but without the sauce I don’t know that they would be the
temptation they are for me every time I go.
And one order was enough for all of us to get our fill (of course we all
ordered our own sandwich which are pretty filling). I also had one of their deviled eggs, because
they are another weakness of mine. Honestly,
one sandwich with frites is enough for two people, but I was glad to get to try
lots of things. I was only a little
bummed because they didn’t have the onion ring special I had seen on the menu a
few times before, because I was going to get some this time since we had enough
people to split them and the fries.
Anyone had the onion rings? Are they good?
Anyway, Taste is still one of my favorite places to eat
lunch in Indy, and a place I always recommend to out-of-towners for lunch. The ingredients are high quality and fresh,
and they do a great job of giving standard sandwiches and dishes that extra
kick to move them from good to great. I
have heard they are getting ready to open a wine bar next door as well, and I
look forward to it.
Like the neighborhood and checked out their website.
