This month Esquire is dedicating it’s entire Food & Drink section to sandwiches. I wonder who bothers to read the section when it’s about tuna tartare or french fries. Boring. Anyhow, they have a handful of short articles exploring sandwiches. A few boring human-interest fluff stories and one big meaty one: The Best Sandwiches in America.
Now, I breezed through the list and was surprised by a few things:
- 1: Nearly all the ‘favorites’ are on the west coast. What gives? We’re sandwichy over here! Show some love! (At least Katz got a nod.)
- 2: Small, loving shops are listed right along side McDonalds and Chick-Fil-a, which won for the “McRib” and best and chicken sandwich, respectively. Gross. Could they really not find better rib and chicken sandwiches? Hell, I bet the SANDWICHLab could cook both better, though maybe not as fast.
- 3: They intentionally left out burgers. How can a burger NOT be a sandwich???
Have a read and leave a note if you’re furious or semi-furious. Also, don’t send them your favorites, submit them to the SANDWICHLab!
