Phantom Gourmet: All Star Sandwich Bar In Cambridge

CAMBRIDGE (CBS) -- If you're looking for a truly extraordinary sandwich, this place is serving some all stars.

At All Star Sandwich Bar in Cambridge's Inman Square, brothers Kosta and Johnny Diamantopoulos are layering flavors, textures, and ingredients that transform the humble sandwich into a gourmet meal.

"I think the All Star Sandwich Bar is an experience. It's a fun, hip, energetic, welcoming experience," said Kosta.

The dining room is filled with bright colors, friendly servers, and very satisfied customers, while the open kitchen serves as Chef Johnny's workshop--where he's always experimenting, bringing food to delicious new heights.

"I love to cook because it gives me the chance to express myself and show people a little piece of my passion," said Johnny.

And that passion is evident in everything from a simple Reuben, to an insane BBQ Cheddar Burger, to Kosta's favorite, the Croque Monsieur.

"I was in the South of France recently and I had this sandwich every single day I was there," said Kosta. "When I got home, I immediately called my brother and said, 'Johnny, this has to go on the menu.'"

But there's one thing you won't find on the menu at the All Star Sandwich Bar--a wrap.

"Wraps, my friend, are not sandwiches," said Kosta. "And this is the All Star Sandwich Bar, and we only serve sandwiches."

Watch Phantom Gourmet on Saturdays and Sundays at 10:30 and 11 a.m. on myTV38.
