If the words “footlong” appear anywhere in the description of a sandwich, chances are high that the processed meat-filled torpedo will never get close enough to my lips to make any regrettable decisions. Instead, I prefer to seek out high-quality sammies that make for memorable, enjoyable experiences rather than mere handheld hunger fixes.
That’s where Goodfriend Package Store comes in. Or why I go into Goodfriend Package Store, to be more precise. Morning, noon or early evening, sandwiches dominate the menu. Simple creations one and all, it’s the combination of flavors, textures and top-notch ingredients that make each one a work of art.
In honor of both National Sandwich Day and to get everyone in the mood for Thanksgiving, I can’t recommend the turkey sandwich highly enough. A soft-toasted Empire Baking Co. ciabatta roll gets layered with generous slices of house-smoked turkey, crumbly sriracha white cheddar, red onion, lettuce, tomato, and housemade mayo. Gobble, gobble.
