[WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT...] Press 195

WHAT YOU SHOULD ORDER AT... is a recurring column designed in kind for your opinionated asses and our lazy asses. We're going to pick one Park Slope resto a week and recommend our favorite dish at each. Are we right? Are we wrong? YOU KNOW YOU WANNA WEIGH IN.
Much like calling a drink a "Frappucino" instead of a "goddamned coffee," referring to a plain old sandwich as a "panini" makes everything a whole lot fancier. A sandwich is BORING. That's what the masses eat, packed in their metal lunchboxes by their overweight wives. A panini has PIZAZZ. It's flat and it burns your mouth! What fun!
Press 195 (195 Fifth Ave at Berkeley Pl, 718-857-1950) literally has 40 panini combinations (all for around $10) to choose from, as well as a shit ton of salads and "cold press" sandwiches. With so many options, how the eff do you choose?
I have two favorites:
#27: Grilled chicken, BBQ sauce, onions, jalapenos, tomato, and smoked gouda.
#13: Sliced tomato, fresh mozzarella, basil all finished off with their special maple syrup basil pesto. I know what you're thinking: "That sounds fucking ridiculous." IT'S GOOD, JUST GIVE IT A CHANCE.
With your sandwich, you should probably order some hand-cut Belgian fries ($3.50) with the roasted garlic dipping sauce.
What's the best thing you've ever ordered at Press 195?
