The Frankies Spuntino empire has spawned another child: a catering line named Francis Louis, available in portable sandwich form at Brooklyn's Cafe Pedlar.

The subtle, milky flavors of fresh mozzarella can often get drowned out in the presence of more pungent bedfellows. Not so in the #19 at Park Slope's Press 195: not even roast beef, tomato, and homemade horseradish sauce ($9.25) can mute the oceans of spongy-melty mozz. More
