Man, sorry about how long it has taken to post this. I had this sandwich I think weeks ago. Anyhow, Defonte's is apparently a fixture in Red Hook in Brooklyn, but somewhat recently opened a second location on Third Avenue in Manhattan, about 10 minutes away from my work. Just a bit more convenient for me than going out to Red Hook. :)
Anyhow, the place has an interesting setup. It's not wide at all, but extremely long, so while there's barely enough space to have tables, a place to stand in line, and the counter where you order, because of the length there are a surprising amount of tables, and the line has the potential to get very very long (fortunately I missed the lunch rush by about ten minutes). It also didn't take too long at all to get my sandwich:
It's a little hard to see from that picture, but there was an ENORMOUS amount of food packed into the sandwich., especially eggs. The sandwich consisted of eggs, bell peppers, jalapenos, and provolone cheese on a hoagie. Everything was very tasty, but the eggs were a bit overcooked, which as you can imagine would greatly impact a sandwich made up of 75% eggs. Still, this was a satisfying sandwich, and would have been even better at breakfast. 3.75 out of 5.
