IT’S A FACT: Sandwiches are the best. You can eat them for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And thankfully, it’s time to celebrate this feat of ingenuity with the Portland Mercury‘s Sandwich Week! (Big thanks and “what’s up!” to our pals at Jim Beam and Travel Portland for their help.) But you better hurry, because today Sunday March 8, is the last day for Sandwich Week, in which Portlanders will be feasting on delectable, original sandwich creations built by 88 (!?!) of the city’s fabulous chefs… and if that’s not enough, each of those sammies is only $10! Are you kidding me? NO, WE ARE NOT! 

Did you know that the Mercury‘s Sandwich Week is not only a perfect excuse to shove a delicious sandy (or 10… or 20) into your mouth, but it’s also a great way to support and introduce yourselves to local restaurants who might not be on your radar. AND it also helps the Mercury continue the top-notch investigative reporting and arts/entertainment coverage you rely on every day. SO THANK YOU FOR THAT!

Check out pics and descriptions of this year’s one-of-a-kind sandwich creations, and plot your sandwich-filled path to glory with our handy-dandy Sandwich Week map—but before you start planning the most delicious week of your life, please keep a few things in mind:

TIP!
And please, don’t be stingy! Sandwich Week takes a ton of work—especially from Portland’s beloved servers, cooks, and bartenders! Let ’em know you appreciate it. With money.

BRANCH OUT!
Each Sandwich Week location has more than just fantastic sandwiches—you’ll also find excellent drinks and sides! Could you survive this week eating nothing but sandwiches? Uh… probably. But you’d miss out on other awesome stuff!

RELAX!
Due to its official status as The Most Beloved Event on Planet Earth™, Sandwich Week can get a little hectic. There will be lines—so if a place is too busy, just come back the next day, or hit another Sandwich Week spot!
