Charm City Powerhouse, an Olympian Sandwich
Before I had the good sense to become a vegetarian I would often eat lunch in a small health food store near Johns Hopkins Campus on Charles St - probably closed now.
The store was staffed with students in robes more health gurus than short order cooks who served a variety of great veg deli-like food, meditational tsatskes and a jolt of energy called the "Powerhouse."
While everything in the store was great, the Powerhouse stood out. Fresh, heavy with rich Fontina, aromatic ripe vegetables, sprouts that crunched and dressing that seemed to flow directly from the gods it was magnificent. I have not seen its like since.
