A Sandwich a Day: The Fried Peace Maker Po'Boy at Acme Oyster House in New Orleans

There's almost always a line of people outside Acme Oyster House waiting to have some of the restaurant's famous fresh harvested oysters. In the evenings that line may stretch up Iberville back to Bourbon and further, and the wait can exceed an hour. Sometimes more. There are all sorts of things on the menu, but most people are coming from the oysters. More

A Sandwich a Day: Roast Turkey from Lovejoy Bakery in Portland, OR

Though the roast beef with caramelized onions and cheddar is damn good, their turkey sandwich has to be my favorite. Roast turkey with avocado, bacon, mascarpone and housemade cranberry chutney is a winning combination of tart and sweet, crunchy and chewy. It comes on their housemade sourdough levain bread. It's one of those sandwiches that calls to you as soon as you walk in. More

A Sandwich a Day: Dr. Larry's Cure at Hi-Rise Bread Company in Cambridge, MA

A Sandwich a Day: Italian Salami from Little T American Baker in Portland, OR

Grinders—named so because of the effort it took to chew through the hard, crusty bread used in the original version—often get overlooked in this day of more inventive, experimental sandwiches. But the Italian Salami grinder from Little T American Baker deserves the spotlight for nailing a perfect balance between quality cured meats and outstanding bread. More

New Orleans: 25 of the Best and Strangest Po' Boys at the Oak Street Po' Boy Festival

We set out to document every single po'boy at the Oak Street Po' Boy Festival. The selection was impressive, ranging from traditional po' boys with fried shrimp and cochon de lait (roasted pork), as well as several versions of debris (beef in gravy), and some truly inventive po' boys. Actually, many of these wouldn't even qualify as true po' boys. Bananas foster po' boy? Sashimi po' boy? We can hear the purists grumbling now. But we tried them all anyways. Here are 25 of the best and strangest sandwiches at the festival. More
