"I will admit that when I saw a cream cheese and olive sandwich on the menu at S&P, the delightful sorta-new revival of a very old, very classic New York lunch counter, my first reaction was: Hmm. There were so many other, more convincing dishes to choose from. A Reuben! So much pastrami! Carrot cake! But my dining companion was curious, and that three-ingredient sandwich kept catching in the corner of my eye as we planned our order. So we got it." - ByElazar Sontag
