Defontes
Ever since I saw the 30 Rock episode where the teamsters go to a secret sandwich shop in Brooklyn and bring back some amazing sandwich's with a "magical" dipping sauce, I knew I had to find out exactly where this place was. I did find out- it was Defontes in Red Hook. I never made it to Red Hook and luckily now I don't have to. THEY OPENED ONE 2 BLOCKS FROM MY APARTMENT!!!!! Sorry for all of the caps but I was so psyched! And man it seriously delivered. This is the sandwich they are most known for- the number 20 Hot Roast Beef. Basically perfectly rare roast beef, fresh mozzarella and fried eggplant get thrown on a fantastic baked roll that has been dipped in au jus. Oh...my...goodness. It was one of the best freaking sandwich's I have ever had. Something about their roast beef is addicting. It was smokey, salty and just fantastic. Mr. T and I swung by after having dinner at Ippudo. We figured we would get a sandwich, try a bite and save it for tomorrow. That did
