What to order

  • Italian sub / hoagie / hero / grinder — Same sandwich, different city. Judge it on the bread and whether there is enough vinegar and oregano.
  • Banh mi — Vietnamese, on a rice-flour baguette, with pâté, pickled daikon and carrot, cilantro and chilli. Among the best value food available anywhere.
  • Cheesesteak — Philadelphia. The argument is about cheese; the actual variable is whether the meat is chopped fine and cooked on the same surface as the onions.
  • Italian beef — Chicago. Ordered dipped, with giardiniera. Structurally unsound by design.

How to spot a good one

  • Bread that does the work — It has to hold structure without shredding the roof of your mouth, and it has to taste of something. A shop that names its bakery is telling you it thought about this.
  • Meat sliced to order — Pre-sliced deli meat oxidises and goes leathery within hours. A slicer running behind the counter is one of the most reliable quality signals in any food category.
  • Something acidic — Pickles, vinegar, giardiniera, pickled onion, a sharp dressing. The most common fault in a mediocre sandwich is that it is all fat and starch with nothing cutting through.
