Though I work for the gayest company in the world (no, not that one ... or that one), the lunch options in the neighborhood are far from fabulous. Sure, the occasional chicken-avocado sandwich from Piperade's takeaway window is a delight,...

I was finishing up a project and had to pass up a tasty sounding Chinese lunch with some friends. Later, when I came up for air, I walked along Pacific Avenue looking for somewhere to grab a quick bite. It had been a while since my last visit to Myth Café so I popped in for a roast beef sandwich ($8.50): which contained beautifully cooked, thinly sliced beef. It was a shame that this sandwich was so mono-cow-matic. The description sounded like it was full of flavor, but there were no crispy shallots or trace of the horseradish as the menu promised, only a melted, mild Fontina cheese, war rations of sliced tomato, romaine and some aioli. The baguette was not so much toasted as slightly heated to a rubbery bread jerky.

My eyes always gravitate to the donuts as I wait my turn in line at Myth Café: It’s such a cool idea for a high tone restaurant to create a café that makes the cornerstone the American breakfast.

Myth Café has caught on bigtime. Every table was filled and there was a salivating line out the door. Luckily, it moved quickly and I was able to walk away with my readymade bag lunch ($5.95)

Anyone who knows me knows I am crazy about sandwiches. As much, if not more, than pizza. (This is what happens when your father owns a deli and pizzeria when you're a kid.) I am determined to have my own panino shop one of these days. But until then, all I can say is God bless Ryan Scott at ~MYTH CAFÉ.~ (I know, I can hear the regulars groaning, "Great, now even more people are going to come and steal my precious tables and make the lines longer." Sorry, it's the nature of the beast that is the tablehopper.) Myth Café is in the former Zero Degrees space, connected to the neighboring Myth restaurant. The Executive Chef is the muy-talented Sean O’Brien, who was previously the Executive Sous Chef at Gary Danko. Scott came up with the menu under O’Brien’s direction. Some back story: Scott cooked under O’Brien in Gary Danko's kitchen for four years, and also worked with Daniel Boulud in NYC. He knows what's up, he knows his ingredients, and he is one of the nicest and most excited chefs I've had the pleasure of meeting in a while. FIRED UP, this guy is. Like a George Foreman Grill.

With a name like Myth Café, it’s a little disappointing not to have unicorns and centaurs behind the counter (if the café did indeed actually exist.) I came here not only out of curiosity, but necessity. Lunch is over too early in this city but this corner offshoot of Myth restaurant dishes out chow until 4:00. Sadly, they were out of their bag lunch ($5.95) which consisted of a roast beef sandwich, potato salad and a house made Hoho. I scanned the menu and decided on the half sandwich and soup ($8.00).
