A Little Trip to Amherst


Yesterday I was in Amherst, Massachusetts. This is where I went to college, if you didn’t know. I could post about Umass all day but I’ll focus on the good stuff.  Immediately upon arriving to Amherst I hit the food scene. Sure, I thought about attacking an Antonio’s slice or a Bueno Y Sano soft taco, or maybe 4, but this time was different. This trip I had an inner spirit guiding me directly to:

  
I lived across the street from this place during grad school so I absolutely needed to refuel the tank with The Big Band breakfast sandwich.

 
Let’s talk about this baby. It is eggs, smoked salmon, scallion infused cream cheese, and monsieur cheese, on a bagel. But let’s get into the details. It’s perfection with the first bite. The warmth of this sandwich is so comforting. A creamy, chewy deliciousness with melted cheese and plump eggs subtly perfumed with scallion flavor. The smoked salmon is alluring with a mellow but distinct salty flavor. The combination is straight up foodgasmic especially when accompanied by an herbal jasmine-green tea to warm you right up on a chilly fall morning in New England.
