I’ve been to The Illium Café, on Broadway in Troy, many of
times. I enjoy trying their number of different dishes, but I have found myself
getting the same thing lately --- The Smoke
House Panini (Smoked turkey,
applewood smoked bacon, smoked mozzarella, lettuce, tomato, and onion with a
cranberry-orange mayo on Italian grilled bread). Why? Because of the cranberry-orange mayo
of course!!!
Ninety-nine percent
of the time I’m on the go, so there’s no use dissecting the dining-in
experience – it looks comfy. The menu speaks for itself, covering the gamut of
different tastes.
Sure, I’ve had a
turkey club before. Bob’s Diner in Watervliet has one heck of a mean turkey
club. Bob’s mayo is outstanding. Hell, any type of real mayo is outstanding.
Throw some cranberry-orange in the mix and the structure, substance and core of
that Paninis’ being changes for the good of mankind…and an Average Joe. The
real bacon gets honorary mention here, because --- well its REAL bacon…no microwave
rubber or fake bits.
Illium Café thank you
for making my turkey club, I mean Smoke House Panini, truly special.
Cranberry-Orange mayo also has that sound of fall. Apple picking, leaf peeping
and a Smoke House Panini (my fall traditions).
