Duck Reuben at Green Eggs Cafe

Duck Reuben. Two words I love, but never used together until today. Once I saw it on the menu, I had no choice. House cured Mallard Pastrami? Didn't even know it existed. But sure enough, that lil Mallard was sliced and served in a way I'd never seen before. Very interesting. The duck didn't lose a step in the pastrami process. A mixed cabbage slaw was also a nice touch, but the roasted tomato aoli got a little lost in the mix. The marble rye was decent, but not quite toasted enough. Gotta go all-or-nothing. This mistake made the swiss cheese feel like a mere afterthought, not a warm blanket that tenderly holds the sandwich together. Pretttyyy good sandwich and a decent spot, but I wasn't blown away. Curious about the Pork Italiano. Night club playlist at noon was also an interesting DJ choice. Sorry no pic at the moment. May your mind's eye guide you.
Located on 2nd between Fairmount and Brown in Northern Liberties, Philly.
