i signed up on citysearch just to write about the meatball sub i just ordered for pickup for lunch from jerrys in westwood. i really wanted a meatball sub today and figured a fancy deli would have a decent one. i was willing to drop the money cause oh maybe its worth it and maybe ill find a place with a decent meatball sub. people: i was oh so wrong. i really should have looked at the sandwhich before paying the $15. upon returning to my office i discover that there are 5 walnut sized meatballs on a 8 or 10"" soggy roll and its not even more than warm. if it wasnt a 10 min walk from my office i would have gone and returned the thing. instead i called to register my profound disappointment (in a polite manner) and to ask them how they justify charging $15 for a sandwich that small. also, the fries were cold. granted, the sandwich tasted fairly good for a lukewarm sandwich, but for its size, it was going to have to taste like foie fricking gras to be worth that money. i guess a lot of the $15 went to the absurd amount of packaging. there was, i will say, a lot of tasty pickles and the little sides of cole slaw and tater salad were tasty too. but the sandwich! all i wanted was a sandwich! my fault for having high-ish expectations. a pox on jerry and his sheisty sandwiches. never again will i patronize his den of overpriced mediocrity.
