  A memior of the best sandwich experience in my life:
  
  The day was drizzly. Rain continued to fall like a leaky faucet. The surf was quality. Stormy but solid. Good breaks no crowds. It was time to call it a day. Calories were needed. My good friend Alex took me to the Oasis they call Mermaid. I walked into a deli with no employees. "Order in the back" the sign read. Interesting first impression. A sandwich shop with an alcohol focus. I scanned the menu. Alex chuckled. "What?!" I said. "no need for menus, you'll be having the Ragin Cajun" exclaimed Alex. It wouldn't have been my first choice. I'm a meatball guy. But i went with my gut and ordered Cajun. The bartender that took our order doubled as the bouncer. She was sweet and scary. I drank IPAs as I awaited my chariot of meats, cheeses, and breads.
  Then it came.
  The appearance was indifferent. Difficult to identify where the meat and cheese stopped and where the sauce and tomatoes started. Then, the first bite. The sensation crept down my spine. It's as if I was hovering over my own body, watching myself enjoy the best sandwich of my life. Another sip of IPA. Back to the sandwich. The mix of spicy, savory, and sweet, danced around my mouth like fairies in a Disney movie. The sandwich was gone. The stomach was full.
  
  The best sandwich of my life.

  Great late night spot. We drove into westport after 8pm on a Monday (note: everything closes 8-9pm in this area), Mermaid was the only place open. I thought this place was going to be a sh**hole but I was surely surprised. Not only is it a very cool bar in the back, the sandwiches were tasty and unique and the service was phenomenal! Definitely recommend this spot for drinks or a quick bite to eat.

  I threw away my sandwich without eating it. Bugs flying around the whole place. Guy took 20 min to make a simple sandwich. Opened it up to, not even sure what was on there ..
