I am crazy about this sandwich! Vermillion menu always seems to take advantage of what is in season. This sandwich is just delicious. The star is the oven roasted butternut squash which is caramelized. Layered with fresh, creamy ricotta, baby arugula and apples as they note on the menu, served 2 ways. Very thinly, sliced, crisp apples and a applesauce/chutney that has a bite of cinnamon and allspice. It is served perfectly on a toasted ciabatta roll. All the flavors are combined perfectly to make this an amazing sandwich. Delicious! The side of greens with is tossed in a light vinaigrette lets the sandwich shine. If you are in Old Town Alexandria, Virginia doing some holiday shopping, make a stop at Vermillion for lunch and enjoy this sandwich. You will not be disappointed.
I am passionate about food! I blog about finds and dishes that I have eaten in the Washington, D.C. area and other places I have traveled. It's not about the restaurants, but the dishes that are unique and are special in some way.
