This month, Philadelphia magazine features the city’s 18 best sandwiches, and our boys at American Meats & Provisions made the cut with their fennel-and-vodka-cured Sockeye salmon. Come see what the lemon-zested, thyme-and-caper-cream cheese-schmeared hype’s about; AM&P chef Tim McGinnis is on his way with a delivery.
Ask, Green Aislers, and you shall receive! Today we start selling sandwiches, and not just any sandwiches. These butcher paper-bundled beauties are coming from American Meat & Provisions, takeaway arm of chef (and former PW food scribe) Tim McGinnis’s upcoming South Street restaurant project. McG fills Ba Le baguettes with sustainably raised meats and fish he brines, smokes, cures himself, then kits them out with the likes of balsamic-strawberry mostarda, Maker’s Mark syrup, picholine olive tapenade and more.
Check out the full menu after the jump.
And did I mention we’re running samples all day?
Philly is going to be well-represented at the James Beard Awards this year, and how ’bout these apples, we stock goodies from two local nominees!

There’s heavenly pumpkin bread from Bibou, nominated in the category of Best New Restaurant, and

from the Best Chef Mid-Atlantic category, Mike Solomonov, whose za’atar-dusted hummus tahina is so addictive you need serious willpower not to scarf the entire container in one sitting.
Congrats to all the local nominees!

South Philly, for all its quirky greatness, has a few downsides. The parking, of course, and there’s a few more crushed Marlboro boxes and Review Social Sections in the gutters than we’d probably like, but the most dire lament of the downtown arriviste is South Philly’s serious lack of Indian food. The void is a curious one considering S.P. is ground zero for Vietnamese, Cambodian, Indonesian, Thai and Lao. But never fear, Green Aisle is here, and our fellow South Philadelphians will starve no more! Starting Friday, we’ll be carrying 16-ounce take-out containers brimming with Indian goodness from Fishtown’s terrific tandoor house, Ekta. Compose yourself, and peep the goods after the jump.
