I went to college in Philly for four years; I can’t count how many artery-clogging sandwiches I had between lectures. Rest assured that Steakadelphia is the real deal. Cheez Whiz, provolone, and chicken steaks are all available. The bread, which some argue is the most important part of the meal, is flown in from Philadelphia’s Amaroso Bakery. If I could make the nutritional justification, I would be eating here multiple times per week. Yelp – Read More>
I’m the latest convert to the ways of MeatCheeseBread. I think the sandwiches are really well-balanced flavorwise, offering big flavors without being overly rich.

2008 was the year Portland sandwich shops blossomed. We went from a town with hardly any decent options to an embarrassment of riches. From what I hear, more are on the way.The secret ingredient that is setting these shops apart is the staff; they actually have a chef, and …Read the Rest
I waited patiently for months for Buffalo Wild Wings to open up on SW Morrison. Sure, I could have visited their other location out in Hillsboro, but who really wants to drive that far when there are so many tasty lunch spots closer in? So the very first week they …Read the Rest

Often suffused with smoke with a dinky storefront, there’s not much to draw you to or in Bunk Sandwiches except the line of people out front. Their sandwiches don’t often photograph well for whatever reason. Neither does my wife. But I don’t eat a photograph of a sandwich from Bunk …Read the Rest

OVER THE PAST YEAR, I regularly found myself staring down at some new concoction tucked between two slices of bread. From my perspective, hovering expectantly over many a plate, I believe 2009 is notable for Portland’s sandwich glut. The Portland Mercury – Read More>
