Food and Drink (201) Staff Pick FAVORITE SANDWICH COTE DU RHONE LE BON CHOIX 11 GODWIN AVE., RIDGEWOOD (201) 689-0400 Currently, my favorite sandwich is Cote du Rhone ($9), Bocuse style (additional $3) at Le Bon Choix in Ridgewood. The sandwich is made up of tender rotisserie chicken meat slathered with homemade espresso barbecue sauce, topped with coleslaw and Gruyere on a Balthazar brioche. The Bocuse addition: sunny side-up egg and strips of crispy chicken skin (instead of non-halal bacon). Brilliant — and divine.
