Bite Club: Eggplant parmesan at Demarco's

The menu: This food cart in Richmond is known for selling out nearly every day. The menu consists of traditional Italian sandwiches like chicken cutlet and meatball parmesan, along with rotating seasonal specials like Buffalo chicken Caesar salad on a flour tortilla and albacore tuna melts.

🍆 As a pseudo-vegetarian, I opted for a classic: the eggplant parmesan.

The bite: Phenomenal. Thin, perfectly battered slices of eggplant are piled high and complemented with ricotta and marinara, then topped with melted mozzarella cheese on a beautifully baked house roll.

The bottom line: This spot is not to be missed. In a city full of sandwiches, Demarco's stands out by being consistently great. Plus, nearly every sandwich on the menu is $15 and comes with a bag of chips.
