Centro Paninoteca update

It was bound to happen. We went to Centro last night and for the first time, Chris the owner wasn't there behind the counter doing the cooking. Almost predictably, the food suffered for it. Both our paninis were cold once you got through the bread. The cheeses weren't melted and the bread didn't have the delightful crusty crunchiness. On all my previous visits, everything was warmed through at the minimum and very hot fresh off the grill. I guess next time I go if I don't see Chris, I'll just leave.
