A Sandwich a Day: Reuben at Prather Ranch Meat Co., San Francisco

The Reuben ($10) from Prather Ranch Meat Company is the kind of sandwich where the first bite makes you want to shout f*** yeah and do a little air guitar. Why is this sandwich so good? First of all it's made to order on a big old grill, like you just happened to stop for lunch at a friend's backyard barbecue. Then there's the fact that the extra thin slices of highest quality pastrami are fried, which gives them a crisp texture and seems to enhance the meaty flavor.

A Sandwich a Day: Italian Combo from Freddie's Sandwiches in San Francisco

Freddie's Sandwiches has been around since 1926 which, in California terms, is a real long time. So you have to assume they have to be pretty good at what they do, particularly in North Beach, a neighborhood that has turned much of the authentic into the tourist-driven.

A Sandwich a Day: Brown Bag Lunch at Cotogna, San Francisco

Cotogna, the casual offshoot of the lauded Quince, has been packed since it opened. Considering the demand, their decision to open for lunch was a no-brainer. But their further move to sell daily brown bag lunches ($12) to-go was a stroke of genius, and sheer luck for San Franciscan's with expensive taste on a budget. There aren't may places where $12 gets you a delicious sandwich, a side salad, and a cookie; from Cotogna, it feels like a true steal.

San Francisco 49ers vs. New York Giants: Which Team Is the NFC Champ of Food?

The NFC championship game is on Sunday and features teams from two of America's best food cities, San Francisco and New York. As a New Yorker and a serious Giants fan, I am going to try to overcome my intense, enormous bias towards my hometown food and team. 49ers fans should take some solace in the fact that we have some Bay Area natives at SEHQ to keep me in line. Let's score the game by quarters, each with a different category: burgers, sandwiches, pizza, and frozen desserts.

A Sandwich a Day: Teacher's Pet at Lunch Geek in San Francisco

Lunch Geek is a sandwich shop within a sandwich shop (the other one is Cafico) with more interesting and inventive offerings. We went for the Teacher's Pet ($7.95), a promising-sounding combination of oven-roasted turkey, avocado, Swiss cheese, housemade aioli, mayo, mixed greens, and tomatoes on Dutch Crunch bread.

A Sandwich a Day: Daily Meat Sandwich from Little Vine, San Francisco

They sell two types of sandwich each day: a meat and vegetarian option. On my visit, the meat ($9) was a combination of sopressata salami, Joaquin gold cheddar cheese, Mendocino mustard, mayo, and romaine served on Acme Bread's green onion slab. The bread, in particular, should be used for sandwiches all over the city—the green onion flavor was excellent with the meat and cheese.

A Sandwich a Day: Fishwich at Macellato, San Francisco

One bite and I could tell that this isn't a fishwich exclusively for past and present fish sandwich aficionados—it is simply a well executed sandwich. The fish (Pacific Red Snapper on that day) is fried to order and comes out piping hot in a extra thin, crispy shell. A layer of coleslaw that includes shredded carrots, scallions, and red onion adds brightness and crunch. The fish itself is tender, moist, and flaky.
