Sandwiches were all huge, but the two of note were the braised pork shoulder, with the sweet-and-spicy barbecue sauce, and the fancied-up tuna melt, with bright notes of lemon zest and fresh herbs. The burgers may not be quite on a par with say, the Bulldog's — ours all tended to be a little overcooked — but ingredients are used creatively here, especially in the Euro, which features the return of the sweet and playful piquillo pepper and pairs it with salty notes from green olives and prosciutto.
These two new casual Dinkytown eateries serve separate purposes, of course, but if you're in the area and aren't running from a chemistry class to a cadaver lab, I'd say the Hole is the one worth digging into.
