Smitty's on the Corner's sandwich sages pile grilled Breadsmith focaccia bread with savory stacks of fresh deli meats and cheeses that won the storefront shop on the Fox River a rave review in the Chicago Tribune. Hearty portions of potato salad and cups of soup surround the main course, creating a mind-bending meta-sandwich. Fill fists with a concentrated menu of focaccia concoctions named after the Marx Brothers, such as the Groucho, with its heaping strata of salami, honey ham, and provolone cheese drizzled with italian dressing. The Zeppo enfolds roast beef and blue-cheese dressing, and the Harpo harbors pepper-jack cheese beneath a layer of turkey. Tile floors and quaint two-tops hearken back to small-town hangouts of yore, where bobby-soxed teens met to nibble romantically on a turkey on rye.
