Mayan Cafe's Egg, Avocado, Plantains Sandwich Best Sandwich Ever

It's official.

Mayan Cafe's Egg, Avocado, Fried Plantains & Cheese sandwich ($8) with pasilla pepper sauce is the best sandwich. Ever.

I've had a lot of great sandwiches, too. So that's saying something.

From wonderful delicacies at Toledo's world-famous Tony Packo's Cafe to Avalon's outstanding Veggie Burger on a Ciabatta Roll with cheddar cheese, whole grain mustard and mayonnaise (which you should try even if you're not a vegetarian), the Mayan Cafe's outdone itself with this sandwich.

Havana Rumba's Vegetariano Press deserves credit, too. The sandwich's mix of tomatoes, lettuce, onions, roasted pimenton, pickles, Swiss cheese, Dijon mustard and aioli sauce on Cuban bread is a tasteful, worldly blend. But Mayan's egg/avocado sandwich creates a flavor profile previously unmatched.

If you're ever in the neighborhood (813 East Market Street in Louisville), I highly recommend you give it a try. Chef Bruce Ucan certainly earns all his accolades.

But if you find yourself on Bardstown, never fear. Avalon isn't far (at 1314 Bardstown Road).
