Wilensky's Light Lunch
No. 98The one to order
The Wilensky Special: grilled beef salami and bologna on a pressed roll with mustard, and a cherry cola from the fountain
A lunch counter since 1932 with one rule: the Special comes with mustard and is never cut in half; ask for changes and you'll be told no.
Make it at home
The cheese toastie (Kappacasein style)
15 min · 2 toasties. London's market toastie: three cheeses and sweet, soft onion and leek pressed into sourdough until the cheese leaks out and fries crisp at the edges. The same pressed-sandwich idea runs from Montreal's Wilensky Special to New Orleans' collard green melt.
