Rusty's Sandwich Parlour II

April 30, 2022

   

We grabbed lunch from Rusty's again this Saturday, as we did our circuit of errands around Brunswick. Michael couldn't imagine deviating from the vegan sausage sandwich he ordered on our first visit. I had a shot at the beet reuben ($13). This has a terrific mid-weight filling for autumn: sliced beetroot stands in for the reuben's usual corned beef, vegan mozzarella provides the cheesy element, and then there's the standard sauerkraut and Russian dressing. It's a little tangy, juicy without being sloppy, and just pickley enough. I might've liked a touch more creamy cheese in the mix. Rusty's buns are always soft and warm and just substantial enough to confidently hold it all together.

On this visit we learned that this shop serves hot chips in addition to the fancy crisps we could see at the front counter. They smelled great. Even so, my next Rusty's mission is to arrive early enough for a breakfast sandwich!

Accessibility: There's a step up at the door. We ordered and paid at a low counter - it's basically takeaway only, just a few stools for dining in, and no toilets that we could see.
