Let's just forget the fact that after witnessing the Mets take the first game of the series in D.C. earlier this week, I may have just mushed them by skipping #daygamedogs today to win the series. Sitting around .500 after a grueling opening schedule, the Mets absolutely need to show up against the weaker teams they're about to go up against for the rest of the month. Don't hold your breath waiting, they just went down 4-0 in the 1st inning. Ok, now to another ambiguously named sandwich, hang on tight.
The name Stewart draws origins in Scotland meaning "household guardian." Following the Norman Conquest of England, a Breton knight (a mercenary from the Brittany region of France) settled in England. Walter FitzAlan, decided to change his name to Walter Stewart since he was the High Steward of Scotland. Confused? It gets better. Walter married Marjorie Bruce (the daughter of that cowardly King Robert the Bruce who left Mel Gibson out to dry in Braveheart) and founded the royal House of Stewart. Reining from 1371(spoiler alert from Braveheart) until union with England in 1707, the House of Stuart (spelling changed by Queen Mary because why the fuck not?) was the longest-serving royal dynasty of Scotland. You may know some of these famous Stewarts: Martha, Rod, Kristen, and New Jersey native, Jon. Jon Stewart actually owns a 12-acre farm in Middletown which is used as a sanctuary for abused animals though I'm going to say a sandwich featuring grilled chicken is not named after a vegetarian. (Sorry, Jon)
The Stewart: Grilled Chicken, Baby Swiss, Lettuce, Tomato, Honey Mustard
I've written about the grilled chicken during my Valentine's Day ode to Al Capone, but now that we are only ONE WEEK away from Memorial Day it seems more appropriate to fawn over grilled chicken. This is 100% a summer sandwich and the honey mustard really brings it all together. Not much else to say here for this one, it's a solid, par for the course sandwich.
Overall: 7.1/10
