Spotting sandwiches
I’ve been looking for a really good sandwich joint in Sacramento for a long time. There’s a bunch of just good places. But I’ve been looking for really good, something that goes beyond the Togo’s or Subway variety.
There are three that I love.
One is chef Daniel Pont’s La Bonne Soupe Cafe in Downtown Sac. An incredible hole in the wall with long waits – that just happens to have a great Zagat review.
The other is the deli at Corti Bros. Work with them to build your own hero and they’ll set you up with something great.
My third is The Sandwich Spot. They have a few locations in the area – one near where I teach. And they get it right. I’m always happy to have one of their creations (above) on a toasted sourdough roll.
Their secret is good ingredients, good prep (they even do an extra slice on the meats to order – so you’re not biting thru a huge chunk) and great mixed sauces (‘The Bomb’ is quite the bomb). Since I’ve been up here I’ve been missing the wonder that is Little Lucca in South San Francisco. But this really does the trick.
(and someday, I’d really like to take on the challenge of updating their logo. I have a few idears.)
