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 …

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 …

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 …

Today’s lunch excursion took me to Souper Jenny. Flying solo, the idea of ordering two sandwiches all by my lonesome intimidated me.

While I am determined to focus on local restaurants during my various “Buddha Tours,” I think I would be remiss if I did not include at least a few chain restaurants. For my Sub & Sandwich Tour, the first chain I visited was Jimmy John’s. The franchise is relatively new to this area of the …

So thanks to Jimmy for pointing this out to me! I totally glazed over it in my daily reading. Slashfood is the home to techfoodies. I myself read it every day (and usually with great attention to detail). Recently, they asked their readers to name the best sandwich in America. Well, so long as you …

Take a peek at the rules page if you aren’t familiar with them yet! Mike & Pete strike me as the Coen brothers of Castleberry Hills. They go together like apple pie and cheese (yeah – people do that!) and they seem to get into a little bit of everything. One of their endeavors is …

I’ll start this off with a little reminder to check out the rules page before you proceed! Remember, this is just about those two pieces of bread and what’s in between! For today’s review, let us chat up Matty Cakes Bakery, the Morningside bakery that offers up a small selection of freshly constructed sandwiches. …
