Oh you poor people. First of all, a sandwich is a sandwich and a sub is a submarine. Then we can break it down between chain and mom & pop. For a chain, Jersey Mike’s and Jimmy Johns are decent. Not too great but ok for a quick bit during work hour lunch and you dont want to drive too far. Oh and let me say this, if you put mustard or mayo on a sub, you are an idiot and have no business posting about sub’s. A real sub only requires olive oil. PERIOD. If you have ever been to Amato’s in Maine (inventor of the submarine sandwich) then you know what I am talking about. And if you like your sub hot…it is not a sub. Who knows what the hell it is then. Sandwiches…Goldbergs and NY deli are good. Nothing else in town is really that good. Maybe some Asian places, etc. Alons, not so good anymore. They were ok. At the end of the day though, my own fried baloney sandwich with Ramen noodles on a cold winter day ROCKS!

You might have to eat on the curb but let me tell you , I will put their chicken salad & pastrami sandwiches up against anyones . Their baked goods are awesome too . This blog was made for great unknown places like that .

KK, Sub is short for “submarine sandwich”.
Sandwich definition: 2 or more pieces of bread with a filling.
A sub is a sandwich, unless it’s underwater with a periscope.

LOL@ morons who mentioned any chain restaurant. No wonder the sports world thinks Atlanta fans have no heart. You can’t even generate enough passion to name a place unique to Atlanta? Publix subs are awesome — I’m eating a tarragon chix salad on wheat — but to say that’s where you will find Atlanta’s best sandwiches???? So the sandwiches in Atlanta are no better than the ones in any podunk little town with a Publix/Subway/Firehouse/McRib (ok that one was funny)/etc???? That’s just stupid.

Shane’s BBQ? I have had better BBQ in the freezer section of Kroger. Atlanta is loaded with great BBQ places and you eat at a chain? Sonny’s is WAY better than Shanes and I give Sonny’s a 5 out of ten. While, I like Publix sandwiches. I name 20 places better. Hoboken Bread and Bagel Company has the best sandwiches in GA. Johnny McCrackens in Marietta Sq has very good sandwiches as well.

To New Yorkers,

First of all, while I agree the best sandwich I have ever had was at Katz Deli (I go to NY every year for the US Open). However, we are sick and tried of hearing of how great NY city is and how everything is better in NY. There are great sandwich places around here in Atlanta. If NY is go great. Please go back. I will start taking up money for your plane ticket. On every blog, we have to hear about either a) how great NY food is OR b) how great of sports fans you are. Give a rest you arrogent j*rks.

Apparently Publix (I agree) is just great …So here is what you do. It takes a little bit of running around but a good sandwich is worth its weight in gold. Get the Boarshead thinly sliced roast beef from Publix. Also Jasons corned beef is great but their bread is not so good. So buy 1 lb of Jasons Deli corned beef, 1 lb of Publix Boars head rare roast beef (extreemly thinly sliced) and then get a loaf of rye bread at Gruby’s Deli. Don’t forget the hot mustard deli style (not honey mustard just hot deli mustard), go back to your place and enjoy a rare roast beef or a corned beef sandwich of a lifetime. Invite me over, too!

bandido jefe -

I would be sensitive to the chefs, but they should start giving me a reason to respect their food. Don’t charge me for “ambiance” and “artistry” when I actually could have made the meal I just ordered at home. Plus, mine would have tasted better. You just don’t get what you pay for these days — that includes taste, quality, presentation — so why should I care what you chefs think. Go back to school and give me something I couldn’t have come with while I’m cooking in my own kitchen!!!

There is a little sandwich shop inside the Candler Park Market across from the flying bisquit…it is not very well known but the ingredients are so fresh and I can honestly say it is the best sandwich I have had since I moved to the city. Get roast beef, sundried tomato mayo with roasted red peppers and basically anything you can imagine… it’s wonderful!

pat
if you let people charge you for ambiance and artistry, then you’re no better than the lame food they serve you.
i usually go to a restaurant for two things one is food and second is service.
you seem very confident about your cooking, and that is a good thing.
i am too and we have thriving business and hundred of customers that agree.
but there is not the point.
the point is there is many of these places out there that serve garbages and they are jam packed full
all the time
and the people running these places are not even chefs they are business owners.
my comment was about all the people saying this is the best or this one is the best when they have no clue what they are talking about. instead of saying i like or not > who is the ultimate food connaisseur to say this is the best in my book no one.
and for the rest of my comment , you must be one of theses persons that want to make their own menus on order.. but please stay home and enjoy your home cooking…
i am sure you cook very good for yourself
we have plenty of EDUCATED customers that truly appreciate the food we serve as we put it together.
for my part you can stay home from my restaurant , i will not make you unhappy neither will you.

and by the way this comment was just general speaking only the one concerned will respond.

have a great day PAT

bandido-

I’d love to know which restaurant is yours? Please let everyone know so they can steer clear. If you’re in the service industry, learn about service, please………

Obviously, you didn’t take that class at culinary school………

Though I know you work soooo hard (so does everyone else eating at your restaurant) to create your meal, you’re in the service industry. If I’ve had a hard day, don’t give me crap about what I want. I know what I want. If you add a bunch of unecessary items I don’t want, eat crow and realize your serving me. If you don’t like serving people who don’t enjoy the same things you enjoy, deal with it. It’s your job. If you don’t like it, find another calling, server.

Also, may your customers don’t’ know as much as you think. Those that do may not enjoy your creations as is, and chose to alter them. Just a thought for the expert .

I like Jersey Mikes and Baldino’s; but Deli-Boy in Lawrenceville is the the best I have found anywhere.

Publix, Subway, Kroger, Blimpies, Firehouse subs etc… They all cut their meat far in advance and it loses flavor. Fresh cut meats and vegetables make a huge difference in taste and freshness. Try out Deli-Boy and you will be convinced.

Baldino’s is worth the trip OTP, since you can almost touch 285 from the parking lot. It is the best sub I have had here.

I am excited to try Cosmic Dave’s and E48th St Market though.

As for the haters….some food IS better in NYC. Pizza, subs/heros, Italian food etc are among them. You can’t change that. It’s not all bad. The grits here are top notch.

Publix is fine, but nothing that would make a “best of” list.

I’m amazed, and yet not so, to find people that think Publix and QuikTrip make the best Sandwiches? Really? Has your life been so sheltered that this is the best you can find in the city of Atlanta? Even if you’ve never traveled outside the city, is Publix the best you can truly find? It’s pointless to compare a Reuben to a Chicken Salad to a Cuban, because that gets down to individual taste. What makes a sandwich unique is the BREAD. I’m sorry – I’ve lived in Atlanta since I was 6 years old (and I’m 52 now) and what passes for bread in this city for the most part is pretty bad: squishy and sugary and devoid of texture and FLAVOR. Bread shouldn’t gum up on your teeth because it’s so spongey, and it shouldn’t taste like dessert. It should have texture and chew and compliment its contents. What is sold as French or Italian bread in Atlanta is nothing like the real thing. Take a trip to France or Italy (or Germany or Spain – or New York or San Francisco or Chicago!) and see what the real bread tastes like. The fine people that have attempted to bring real bread to Atlanta often don’t last, because there’s no tradition for good bread here. Yes, I eat sandwiches from Publix and Jason’s. And while they’re filling and fine, they’re hardly the best. That’s not being a snob – it’s being discriminating, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Years ago, there were some real deli’s in Atlanta, but all are long gone. Anytime someone opens up a local operation, it’s hit or miss whether the people here will support it. I’ve looked long and hard for consistently good sandwiches in Atlanta, but as much as I love this city, the population here would rather support mass market chains where food is developed by corporate marketing people and ingredients are mass produced and designed for maximum shelf life and minimum flavor. I was amazed when Einstein’s Bagels opened up shop across the street from the Toco Hills Bagel Palace & Deli. Why would anyone want one of those squishy, airy things that they pass off as bagels when the real thing has existed across the street for years? Well, their parking lot is always crowded, which confirms my theory. Alas, I’ll have to be content to get a REALLY good sandwich when I leave the city, but I will definitely check out some of the suggestions on this blog.
