In this great country of ours, one could eat a different sandwich every day of the year—so that's what we'll do. Here's A Sandwich a Day, our daily look at sandwiches around the country. Got a sandwich we should check out? Let us know. —The Mgmt.

I've been waiting to try this sandwich since last year around Thanksgiving. I remember sitting at my desk last year during lunch hour, despaired as I read the too-far-for-a-lunch-break-trip location of 4505's pop-up turducken sandwich stand. Yes, you read that correctly: a pop-up turducken sandwich stand. So, you could probably imagine my excitement when this year, 4505 decided to serve their famous turducken sandwiches at the Ferry Plaza Farmers' Market.

The concept of a BLT is dead simple and perfect: Strips of smoky, chewy bacon; clean, crisp lettuce (preferably iceberg); bright, tangy tomato slices; a smear of creamy mayo; and toasted white sandwich bread. Purists like me will tell you that the carefully calibrated formula shouldn't be riffed upon, gussied up, or messed with in any way. The gods who invented classic sandwiches like this one got it right the first time.
And yet, I totally dig the Fried Green Tomato BLT ($9.50) at Slice of Life Café on Martha's Vineyard. It's a boutique version for sure, but one that has been fine-tuned to work at least as well as any standard-issue BLT.

Tracking down a tasty lunch in Beverly Hills can be a challenge if you're on a budget. It's by no means dirt cheap, but Jack n' Jill's is a good one to know. Among several sandwich options at the cozy cafe is the JNJ chicken "burger" ($11.50; including a side) , a half-pound of pulled rotisserie chicken with your choice of cheese, tomato, lettuce, and caramelized onions. The hefty sandwich is piled with juicy chicken accented with a dab of garlic aioli. The toasted and buttered brioche bun adds a hint of sweetness.

I don't know if there's much to say about the roast pork Italian sandwich at Tony Luke's other than it's pretty near perfect.
Tony Luke's is conveniently located near the junction of I-95 and I-76 in the shadow of the Walt Whitman Bridge—a quick lunchtime detour on my trip from the Big Apple to central Pennsylvania this past weekend. I probably don't have to tell you that I spent the first two hours of that trip in anticipation of finally trying one of these much-hyped sandwiches.

You may be aware of the fact that Jamaica was at one time a British colony, and as a result much of the country grew up enjoying English style afternoon tea. I didn't, and perhaps that bit of knowledge would have made finding a place like the Pineapple Blossom Tea Room in Miami, Florida much less of a surprise to me than it was. A tiny little restaurant situated in a fairly unlikely part of of Miami, the Pineapple Tea Room is run by Jamaican chef Frances Brown and serves up a menu of elaborate tea services (complete with freshly baked pastries) side-by-side with a full offering of salads and wraps, combining the flavors of multiple countries under the Jamaican theme of "out of many, one people."
