A Highly Opinionated Guide to Atlanta’s 10 Best Sandwiches
Eater
Up until about five years ago, you could say, “Atlanta isn’t a sandwich town,” and be right. Or, mostly right. But when a friend of mine recently tweeted that “Atlanta is the worst sandwich city in the country,” it gave me pause and got me thinking.
As it turns out, there are a lot of places to get a good sandwich in ATL and beyond the city borders these days. I started keeping a running list of such spots. When Eater reached out to ask which sandwiches I considered the best in town, I set out to find the ten sandwiches Atlantans should be eating right now. These sandwiches are all excellent. Many sit on menus alongside even more excellent sandwiches. The list below isn’t ranked, but is an embarrassment of sandwich riches — and I’m not done exploring this topic.
Just what’s causing ATL’s current sandwich renaissance? That’s a great question, and a report we’re saving for another day. After all, you’ve got a lot of sandwiches to eat first, so get after it.
