Sandwich Tour 2010 begins today, and we need your suggestions!

| Sandwich Smash |
The Sandwich Tour began last year, when my wife Chelsea went away for a few days in June. After my first couple of meals I noticed that, when left alone, I was inclined to pretty much survive on sandwiches. So I decided to make it official, eating sandwiches for the duration of her absence, and making a point of visiting sandwich landmarks Koch's and Sarcone's. Yesterday, Chelsea flew to California to visit her brother. And though I will miss her and her delicious vegetable-centric cooking, I am happy to say it is now Sandwich Time. Over the next few days, I'm going to eat sandwiches for lunch and dinner every day. Some will be landmark sandwiches; others, below-the-radar. The main criteria are that they be a) sandwiches (two pieces of bread with food in between) and b) delicious. I have enlisted CP's food editor and renowned fantasy basketball player Drew Lazor as a Sandwich Guide; we have a preliminary list of destinations, but please do send us your suggestions.Our prelim list is after the jump (Ba Le Bakery is already a go for this evening), but leave any and all suggestions in the comments! Let's make Sandwich Tour 2010 one to remember, and not just because we will all be extremely fat(ter) after all this.
- Paesano's
- John's Roast Pork
- Delicatessen
- Jake's Sandwich Board
- Ba Le Bakery
- Ishkabibbles
- Shank's Original
you MUST try the Pulled Pork sandwich at Memphis Taproom. MUST MUST MUST. Best pulled pork. EVER.
Famous Fourth St Pastrami or Reuben - split one or you won't be hungry for the next meal Percy Street's PST Supper Dog at Supper (do we have a ruling if hot dogs are sandwiches or not?) Le Bus - any of them great heated in the press, but especially the one with eggplant & hummus
I personally love Campo's Hot Italian Sausage sandwich. Fantastic goodness and must be on a seeded roll. If you think South Jersey is worthy of venturing for a good sandwich, West Side Gravy in Collingswood has a Turkey Club that is beyond delicious.
Fried Green Tomato Hoagie from Chickie's is awesome. Also the tortas from Los Gallos are huge and delicious, had 2 in the last week and a half.
Super Torta at El Jarocho
Ricci Bros. Chickie's Italian Deli Nick's Roast Beef Saad's Halal Cellini's Deli
I love Dinics Roast Beef @ Reading Terminal. Thanks! Can't wait to try all 6,000 on your list.
Unfortunately, Cellini's Deli is closed down for the time being. Rumors that they are re-opening at some point, though. I second Chickie's Italian Deli. The Chicken Sandwich at Royal Tavern...I need to get it every time I go there.
Love this idea, I consider the ever vague "sandwish" my favorite food! -DiNic's rast pork (in reading terminal market) with cheese, horseradish, & roasted peppers is one of my city wide favorites! -Cosmi's (8th & Dickinson) has an awesome chicken cutlet caprese, or an equally awesome veggie caprese, I always get balsamic added. Outstanding. -Primo's diablo sandwiches are fool proof, I love the tuna diablo, Italian diablo, or the audioablo, sooo good. -Though it recently closed, Cellini's at Passyunk & Morris will always be one of my favorite & most memorable sandwiches in the city. You could walk in and order the daily special, and whatever it was it was always bangin'. RIP awesome sandwiches :( -The Royal Tavern's (7th & Passyunk) meatloaf sandwich is so good I sometimes dream about it. Yeah, its that serious.
annddd I spelled my own name wrong. All this sandwich talk got me all flustered.
I fixed it Rach. Haha. And couldn't agree more with Primo's Diablo series! Turkey, Italian and tuna are all fire (no pun intended, ok maybe kinda)
Do non-traditional sandwiches count? If so, the spicy falafel from Mama's is the best Also, I recommend the cheesesteak, or anything else, from Gooey Looie's on Moyamensing.
McNally's in Chestnut Hill, and I'm not talking about the Schmitter, but The Dickens.
Please excuse all of the typos guys, I got a little TOO excited to discuss sandwiches. I could go on for days. Thanks Drew!
Cosmi's has an amazing Italian Tuna hoagie as well. No mayo, just the primo canned Italian tuna. I get mine with pickles on half of a seeded roll.
Love their vegtable hoggie, Baddabing and Godfather all with real Italian broccoli rabi and sharp provolone...yum. It's in Horsham, so don't know if you're willing to go that far. Happy Eating!
O Sandwiches!
you've got a lot covered here and in the comments that i'd have recommended. others are, chipotle BLT at o'neals pub. filet mignon and boneless BBQ rib from nick's charcoal pit.
1) George's Sandwiches at 900 1/2 South 9th. Their meatball sandwich is at least among the best in Philadelphia. For the eating one percenters, George's is famous for their tripe sandwich. 2) A bit of a trek, but Cajun Kate's po' boys, especially brisket, are incredible. 3) A lot of the places already mentioned. Nick's Roast Beef. DiNic's brisket, Chickie's Tuna Special or vegetarian.
1. No burgers! They are sandwiches too. Village Whiskey burger if you can only eat one but the South Philly Taproom one rocks as well 2. Veggie option: riblet sandwich at A Full Plate Cafe 3. Pork! Cubano sandwich at Johnny Brenda's or Cubana torta from Taco Loco truck
Doron the explorer, you must try West Philly's Fu-Wah Vietnamese hoagies. They have them in tofu and pork and a bunch of different varieties. They have them all over South Philly too. See you on the basketball court after you carb the eff out. Say hi to your brother in law for me.

How could I forget DiNic's and Cosmi's. Tried DiNic's for the first time recently and was in love. I got roast beef with some horseradish and sauce they use on their beef brisket. Cosmi's I order from at least once every week-2 weeks.
QT Vietnamese for the lemongrass tofu Bahn Mi with pork pate is a must!
2nd Nick's charcoal pit. Also the pork sandwich at Porky Point is freaking amazing. For some decent standard deli sandwiches (on bread not hoagies) check out Delicious Bites on 15th & South.. nothing crazy but definitely way above par for a corner store. Used to eat there at least twice a week.
See, I consider burgers in their own category entirely; partly because there are so many variations, including the buh-gillions of ways to make beef burgers awesome, turkey burgers, veggie burgers, salmon burgers, etc. BUT that could just be me.
- Tinto - Shortrib Bocadillo - braised shortribs,bacon, asparagus,celery root aioli - it's truly amazing, only available for dinner - Pub and Kitchen - Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich - Kraftwork - Beer Can Chicken Sandwich
