Dinner Tonight: Artichoke and Salami Sandwiches

The artichoke-basil spread is whipped up in seconds in a food processor. It might not take long, but it's tart and creamy, which makes it a great pair for the salami.

A Sandwich a Day: Lefse from Viking Soul Food Cart in Portland, OR

Viking Soul Food is in my favorite Portland pod (that's a cluster of food carts). It's the only Norwegian cart in the city, with a menu that focuses on lefse (pronounced lef-suh). The thin potato flatbread is baked on a griddle then drizzled with local honey or filled with savory options like cured salmon or Norse meatballs with Gjetost sauce.

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.

Sandwiched: Steak with Caramelized Onion-Jalapeño Sauce

You already know Maria from her Dulces and Let Them Eat cake columns over on Sweets, but now she'll be adding another topic to her plate: sandwiches. You should know by now how much we love our sandwiches. Each week in Sandwiched, Maria will share a new recipe with us. First up: steak and onion-jalapeño sauce, MacGyvered from steak leftovers. —The Mgmt.

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: Gravlax with Dill and Capers at Plenty in Philadelphia

The Gravlax with Dill and Capers ($11) is filled with rosy slices of fennel cured, sustainably raised salmon spread with a lemony, dilly cream cheese, scattered with thin sliced red onions, and sandwiched into a crisp, chewy baguette. Not quite as salty as traditional lox, Plenty's Gravlax is mild, letting the delicate flavor of the Scottish salmon shine through and complementing it with subtle notes of fennel.

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: Pollo a La Brasa at Las Primas in Portland, OR

The key to good pollo a la brasa lies in a salt-heavy marinade and proper cooking on a rotisserie to ensure the tenderness of the meat. There's not enough time for that here (this is a sandwich place, after all), but the grilled hunks of juicy white and dark chicken are still plenty soft with a salty crust.

A Sandwich A Day: Zep from Eve's Lunch in Norristown, PA

Don't even think about calling it a hoagie. In Norristown, a small industrial city just west of Philadelphia, vaguely Italian sliced meat sandwiches on long rolls are not called subs, hoagies, or grinders. They are Zeps, and there are rules. Eve's and nearby Lou's Sandwich Shop are widely considered the cream of the crop.

A Sandwich a Day: Pan Bagnat from St. Honorè in Portland, OR

A favorite in southern France, pan bagnat (pan ban-yah) means "bathed bread." The bread is meant to absorb some liquid from the filling, so it's fine to assemble it entirely ahead of time. The bread soaks up the vinaigrette, becoming soft yet still retaining some crunch.
