What I’ve Got: C(Lover)

Clover’s Blue Oyster Mushroom Sandwich is one of the most beautifully designed sandwiches I have ever tasted. It consists of a tarragon miso spread, buttermilk-battered blue oyster mushrooms, kale dressed with lemon juice, and tomatoes from Queen’s Greens. The flavors build onto each other in colorful ways—for instance, the umami of the mushrooms and creaminess of the buttermilk batter are complemented nicely by the tangy lemon juice and tomato. The textures make for interesting chewing as well, combining crunchy batter and chewy mushrooms, crispy kale, soft and gooey tomatoes, plus an impossibly fluffy pita. Mmm! No wonder this sandwich sells out within hours every day Clover has sold it.
