   Chicken Parm Sandwich

   Press credential is real but current named-dish Yelp volume is thin. Mercury News Feb 12 2019 bracket (finalist, not winner): 'Paper Plane, the downtown San Jose cocktail bar, beat out The Counter in Walnut Creek and San Jose, while the South Bay's Starbird bested San Ramon's Plucked Chicken & Beer.' Mercury News Feb 19 2019 final: 'Pinky & Red's just barely beat out San Jose's Paper Plane with 54 percent of the votes' (runner-up). The 2019 bracket was specifically about the fried-chicken-sandwich dish lineage. Current live menu (paperplanesj.com/food) names a Chicken Parm Sandwich: fried chicken cutlet, marinara, pesto mayo, ciabatta, potato chips. Caveats (Confidence: medium): the Chicken Parm is NOT in Paper Plane's Yelp Popular Dishes top-5 (Chicken and Waffle Sliders, Brussel Sprout Tacos, Chicken Wings, Prime Rib rank higher) — so live dish-specific review volume is thin. TripAdvisor dish quote on this restaurant names wings, not the Chicken Parm: 'The wings and guacamole were awesome.' No press/review-sourced photo of THIS specific sandwich from a credible source within scope was surfaced (GAP — no image_url attached). Pricing not surfaced from any aggregator or menu source (GAP — price left null). The link from the 2019 Mercury News fried-chicken-sandwich bracket to the current Chicken Parm Sandwich is an inference, not a verified continuation.
