Tuesday’s Panini of the Day:” Crusty Italian bread, fresh mozzeralla, provalone, capricollo, honey ham, tomatoes, red peppers and onions. I’ve been meaning to hit La Prima for awhile now, (they feature a panini every tuesday) and the stars finally aligned today: I remembered, I called, the girl on the phone rattled off a list of tasty somethings, and 15 minutes later, the deal was done. The intrigue began when I opened the bag: oblong sandwiches? Wrappings? Rogue basil leaf? A panini with no stripes? Nevertheless, I think Prima got this one right. You’re probably thinking, “But that’s so not a grilled cheese.” You’re probably right, it’s probably isn’t. Frankly, I had my heart set on blogging today, so we’re just going to pretend it was. In a word, zesty. The capricollo was spicy, bread was almost pretzel-like, and the cheese was ample. I could have done without the tomatoes, (only because I didn’t know they were going to be in there) but overall, the whole thing was a pleasant surprise. I’m going to call this one an 8, and will be back for more. 8/10. ($7.89)

We just checked out La Prima Deli this week. We found it a little pricey and the Italian beef sandwich wasn’t anything to write home about. We may have to try this, it certainly looks very good!
Great site and post. Keep it up!

Thanks for the comments, guys! I’ll be keeping an eye on your blog as well. You should consider checking out foodspotter, it would be nice if I had some help ‘spotting’ here in Wausau….so far it’s mostly just a record of where I’ve been. 🙂
