Lachowicz, chef/owner of the acclaimed Restaurant Michael in Winnetka, Ill. has taken his best fine dining entrees, and created their gourmet sandwich counterparts at his new Boystown retail shop. The best part? The sandwiches range from $7-$12 each, and include a side salad or housemade chips.
Wally & Agador’s, named after his two “diva” dogs, is the ideal way to enjoy truly gourmet food at a budget friendly price. The menu includes a number of diva inspired sandwiches prepared with classic French technique, as well as a number of freshly made deli creations and rotating entrée selections from Restaurant Michael’s menu which vary each week.
Favorite sandwich selections include the Wham Sammich, slow-cooked “sous vide” leg of lamb, thyme, garlic and black pepper mayo served in a warm baguette with fresh Laura Chenel Goat’s cheese and eggplant “caviar” ($10); The Elton John, chicken sausage studded with dried huckleberries with truffle sauce, shallot jam and pommes frites ($11); and the Esther Williams, lobster and scallop sausage nestled in butter lettuce leaves with tarragon mayo in a soft potato roll dusted with Old Bay © seasoning ($12).
Save room for dessert because Wally & Agador’s has two sweet namesake sandwiches: The Wally, peanut butter, marshmallow fluff and sliced bananas on a batter-dipped croissant ($7); and The Agador which switches out the peanut butter for Nutella. Yum!
Wally & Agador’s only has four tables (seats for 16), so carry-out is a popular option. Wally & Agador’s would be ideal for your next office party and delivery is already in the works. With friendly customer service and outstanding, truly unique sandwiches, Wally & Agador’s is perfect for the diva in all of us.
