Simple sandwich

ceiling sandwich
This new movie I'm on now is another big budget spectacle, so I was expecting a fancier office. Two weeks ago the ceiling in the accounting area and craft service area collapsed and ruined some computers and lots of paperwork. Rumor has it that the Moonies cult that is a couple floors above us stopped up the sink to flood the place. On the bright side, I'm digging having my own office and the craft services are consistent. Mostly stuff from Costco, but I really love the effort the production assistants put into styling the snacks. Things are getting busy, but once the director is in the house, there will be a lovely spread and I'll post some photos.
We're located in an area of town that isn't my favorite for dining, so getting lunch delivered isn't always quality. I've managed to find some good stuff, but not much. Yesterday I ran an errand and just wanted a good sandwich and a smoothie. There's a little cafe called Amazonia where I grabbed a smoothie—more on that later. I want to talk about my sandwich.
Trio French Bakery (469 9th Ave. bw 37th/38th)is a bare bones place, the card says they specialize in bread, rolls, breadsticks & toast(?) for hotels and restaurants. They make cookies, but strangely they are the Italien variety and they're not my favorite. The sandwiches are the real find here. For 4 bucks, I got this HUGE turkey and provolone with lettuce, tomato and mustard on a really great wheat hoagie roll. There are so many delis that use shredded iceburg and boring sliced bread, but because Trio has so many kinds of freshly baked bread, you know that the meat (they also slice up ham and salami, and cheese are really going to shine. I rounded out the meal with chips from the craft service table. Doritos Black pepper Jack and Kettle chips with cracked black pepper. The Doritos are stupid (who needs another flavor besides orange cheese?), but the cracked pepper potato chips are quite good. They're thick and hard and I detected a vinegar flavor, but I can't check the ingrediants because the bag is gone. I didn't eat them all! Okay, gotta go, someone's calling me.
