You gotta get the muffaletta at Eastmoreland Market and Kitchen, SE 36th and Knapp. That stuff is insanely good, absolutely packed with meat and cheese, an incredible olive spread, and grilled ciabatta. Seriously, it is damn good.
With content-free writing his valueless trade,
Pat Coleman lit out from the home his folks made-
Finding in Portland a job that was good
Coughing up blogposts as fast as he could.
Learning of restaurants, and dabbling in beer
His love for the press release was without peer.
His writing was empty, but volume was king-
A full three names in his byline he brings.
Okay, it's probably better not to point out such things, but all four of those sandwiches made the list on Slashfood because I posted them, including the reuben sliders at Kenny & Zuke's, where I'm probably a bit biased.
Have you tried Michael's Italian Beef? You think Wayne's is better?
Best sandwiches you are missing (that weren't in the original post):
* Grant's: original cheesesteak with extra provolone, sweet and hot peppers.
* E.Moreland Market: muffaletta
* Michael's: beef and sausage combo with spicy giardinara, dipped
* Foster & Dobbs: mole salami with cheddar and tomato-chili jam
* La Catrina: torta cubana extra sour cream
* Sabor Salvadoreno: pan relleno
* Petisco: bacon, egg, ham, and cheese
* Taste of Europe: cevapi
* Karam: falafel gyro
the best reuben I had recently was at the Hedge House on 34th and Division. Best sandwich period I had in recent memory was actually at the Gladstone pub. It was like, a black bean patty with guacamole and sour cream and broken up tortilla chips and some other shit on it like bacon and green onions. Anyways it was really good.
I can't believe I forgot Grant's! And thanks Mr. Msg for keeping Slashfood readers keyed into Portland. I haven't done Michael's yet (ludicrous because it's just blocks from the Merc office) but I plan to, post haste.
As far as muffalettas are concerned, there's some doozies out there. I'll do East Mooreland's if you do Evoe's,

It's good. But, imo, it's not as good as E.Moreland's.
I haven't tried the Italian beef at Wayne's. I always get dogs.
