There is nothing more satisfying, in a food way, than a good sandwich (and there is nothing more satisfying, in a slang way, than calling a sandwich a sando [props, Jill!]). Let’s consider the sando for a moment. It has every food group in one place. You can eat it with your hands. You can eat it with one hand. It’s basically a flawless food item. It’s true: sandos can’t be beat no matter how you slice them (heh).
My current favorite is just a little mini walk from the Merc offices at Black Sheep Bakery (523 NE 19th). They call their sandos “sammies” (inferior slang), but I’ll forgive them for it because they are the yum. You should go there and get a BBQ tofu sando on Dave’s Killer Bread with veganaise, some kind of cheese product (cheddar or provolone, probably), homemade pickle slices, roasted peppers, and shredded carrots. You will die from it being so good, I swear.
That is all I have for you right now in sando news. Do you have any hot sando tips for me? Post ’em in the comments.
the spaghetti sando: another classic
meat cheese bread, SE 14th and Stark
Bunk Sandwiches, SE Morrison btw Grand and 7th
East End has a fantastic BBQ Tofu Sandwich. Normally comes with purple coleslaw, I suggest the fries instead, with a side off bbq sauce for dipping.
Foster & Dobbs has delicious gourmet sandies.
Mole salami and cheese with greens is my favorite; it has a really good onion jam condiment. Condiments MAKE the sandwich, in my humble opinion.
Holy shit Bunk Sandwiches.
I mean… holy shit!
Eat there now people!
RIP Crackerbox.
sammich > sando > sandwich > sammie

The British call them “sarnies.” NO ONE KNOWS WHY.
Bakery Bar & Daily Cafe are both good. I can never resist the Daily’s porchetta panini…
Sando is what the Japanese call ’em.
Sando seto!
the Cuban sammy at Pause on Interstate. And I KNOW my sammies/sandos/what have you.
