sammiches

so, i was reading angelikas page today and she had a list of favorite sandwich places in sf. basically, her list was a little lacking, so i came up with my own. there's some overlap here, but she left out a few favorite places, so she gets a D+ for that.

here's her list:

• Teds Market
• Darby Dans (So. City)
• Piccolo Petes
• Roxies
• The Sub Center
• Cafe La Taza
• AK Subs
• Sorrento Deli
• Molinaris
• Saigon Sandwiches
• Little Luca (San Bruno)
• Working Girls

OK here's mine:

Submarine Center aka Sub Center aka The Place that Can Make Everything Better
820 Ulloa Street, SF x West P

I became addicted at an early age. In High School, I was here at least once a week. I had one of those little cards with the stamps to earn free subs. The best is a center hot pastrami, made by the young guy. diet coke. maybe some sun chips. yum yum yum yum.

The Sandwich Shop

635 19th Street (Potrero Hill)

I used to work around the corner from here for YEARS, so i survived off this stuff for a long, long time. it was always the go-to, safe favorite. they put hella meat on their sammies and the avocado is always fresh, the bacon always crisp and sometimes they give you a free cookie!

mae's (r.i.p.) apparently its calld M & L Market...didnt know that

691 14th St(between Landers St & Market St)

so, even though mays doesnt exist anymore (tear :( tear ) it's still on my list because it was that damn good. yummy hot pastrami. she used to serve it out of a crock pot. yum. the chicken salad sandwich was grubbin, too. if you forget to order the bread first, mae freaks out. you also get these delicious little almond cookies when you pay.

boudin bakery, various locations

it wasnt until russell moved to ny that i realized that you couldnt get get a turkey avocado on sliced sourdough just anywhere. i figured since boudin was a chain, they were everywhere. shit, there's one in disneyland...how was i supposed to know? anyway, their turkey avocado sammie is TO DIE FOR, you dont even have to put any mustard on it, but sometimes i do. maybe a lil clam chowder on the side, if im feeling hella frisco-ish.

roxies

1901 San Jose Ave

I dont know when roxy's became such a "thing." i usually dont go for dutch crunch, but roxys dunch crunch sandwiches are oh-so-good. they have this mexican apple soda there that f'n rocks. usually i'll get them heated up. depends what im having.

Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store Cafe

566 Columbus Avenue

i've only been here a couple times, but i mean, any place that puts sandwiches on foggaccia has got to be the bomb, right?
