Year of Eating Differently (100): Carlton's Coffee House, Broadwick Street

Possibly the worst panino I've eaten in living memory. Mainly because they don't have a panini toaster (or possibly to save time, although the more I think about the logistics of this, the more confused I become), they have one of those conveyor belt heating devices that in a normal cafe would be used to heat slices of toast. Thus the bread isn't forced together and fused with the innards in the way that you usually get with a panino; it's more like a sliced baguette with some warmed over sundried tomatoes and mozzarella inside. Not impressed. But the place was heaving with people - then again, it is a Friday lunchtime. Hey ho.
