The Bread Garden In Morningside: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #15

Slowly, but surely, we eek along.  Some four months after my first sub tour pit stop, I find we are just now passing the 3/4 flag.  You know what they say … time flies when you are having fun.  Yesterday’s meal found me all alone at the Bread Garden. Tucked away on Amsterdam Walk near …

LottaFrutta In Inman Park: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #14

So yesterday was LottaFrutta; that quirky and offbeat food stop down in the Old 4th Ward/Inman Park.  A self-proclaimed fruit house and market, it translates into a fruit bar with sandwiches and salads.  Their style is unique (at least to this town); and, as such, it was time that I took the Atlanta Sub & …

Cafe At Pharr In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #13

Café at Pharr in Buckhead has been around for a long time.  Soon after the Braves were cheated out of a World Series victory by Kent Hrbek [yeah – I’m talking to you!!!], this place opened (circa 1992).  I actually remember eating here inside their first month of operation.  What a cute little foodie I …

Papi’s Cuban & Caribbean Grill In Midtown: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #12

In the past year, Atlanta has taken a few stiff upper cuts to its Cuban jaw.  Fire gutted Havana (reportedly due to arson) in October after owner Silvesonso Ramirez closed Midtown’s Kool Korner Grocery in August.  The opportunity gave Papi’s (pronounced like Poppy seed) the chance to snag market share.  Backed by an already strong …

Highland Bakery In Inman Park: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #11

A long time ago in a sandwich shop, far away… I best most of ya’ll thought I had forgotten about the sub & sandwich tour.  Truth is, I just got a bit worn out on sandwiches.  While I did grab a few sandwiches in the past few weeks, my rate of consumption plummeted.  The time …

Star Provisions In Midtown: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #10

Oh Atlanta S&S Tour, how I have missed you!  Travel, temporary sandwich burn out, and life in general caused me to miss a few weeks.  What better way to get back in the saddle than with a trip to Star Provisions.  In the realm of high-end gourmet shops, SP seems to garner a near godlike …

Sawicki’s In Decatur: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #9

Well, sorry that it’s so late in the day.  I had a lot going on … but, I wanted to get this up today.  We are fast approaching the half-way point in the Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour.  To date, there have only been a couple of strong showings.  Luckily, today’s lunch at Sawicki’s marked …

Henri’s Bakery In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #8

Yesterday marked my first sandwich tour stop in over a week.  It was a needed break; but, I am happy to be back in the saddle.  After hitting up a handful of “gourmet” sandwich shops, I thought it would be good to return with a trip to a straight forward bakery. Henri’s Bakery … this …

Souper Jenny In Buckhead: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #7

Today’s lunch excursion took me to Souper Jenny.  Flying solo, the idea of ordering two sandwiches all by my lonesome intimidated me.  As luck would have it, my 2:00 was in Buckhead and Souper J allowed me to meet the two sandwich requirement without having to gorge myself.  I have dined at SJ a handful …

Muss & Turner’s In Vinings, Smyrna: Atlanta Sub & Sandwich Tour #6

I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time in the Vinings area the past few days.  After a great lunch at Social Vinings on Tuesday and a disaster of a meal at nearby South City Kitchen later that night, I returned today to hit up Muss & Turner’s for lunch.  I haven’t spent this much time …
