Super 46.

Not sure how we missed this a few weeks ago, but my hometown of Indianapolis created their own list of best sandwiches for the Super Bowl. Thankfully, my mom alerted me to the list. Guess we have something to work on next time we are home!

Another sandwich bites the dust.

As of today, there is one less sandwich on the list. Spring Hill is changing its name and concept, so the elusive Monday night-only spaghetti & meatball sub won't be eaten by us. We were looking forward to that one, too!

#39 of 48: Wild Boar Sloppy Joe at Quinn's.

You can only imagine how excited I was to see my favorite Seattle spot on the 48 Best Sandwiches list. Quinn's is close to perfection to me. I dig the atmosphere, the beer list is outstanding, and the ever-changing menu is full of surprises and reinvented classics.

Quinn's Wild Boar Sloppy Joe is a good example of one of their reinvented classics. If my mama had made sloppy joes like this in the 80s, I might have been a little more interested in them. This sandwich has a kick and a crunch (fried onions! crispy sage leaves!) that leaves me wanting more. It may not be huge and it doesn't come with sides, but I adore it. It might just be my very favorite of all the sandwiches.

#38 of 48: Roast Beef on Kimmelweck at Buffalo Deli.

I'll admit, before eating this sandwich, I had no idea what Kimmelweck is. Turns out... it's a pretty tasty, perfectly salty roll. Nobody said this experiment wouldn't be a bit of a learning lesson, right?

The Buffalo Deli makes a killer roast beef on kimmelweck. The meat is tender and complimented by a slathering of horseradish mayonnaise (which I wanted more of). Overall, the Buffalo Deli is an unassuming place with some seating (including outdoors). It's an easy place for those with small appetites, too, since they offer half portions. Their hours are challenging (Monday - Friday 10-4), but if you work downtown and can make it over to Belltown, it's certainly worth seeking out.

#37 of 48: Spice Rubbed Pulled Pork at Pig Iron.

Thank goodness, there is delicious BBQ in Seattle! Pig Iron's spice rubbed pulled pork sandwiches practically explode with super tender meat. The baked potato rolls are soft and pillowy. Each order includes a slew of sides to choose from. Add humble surroundings, friendly servers and outdoor seating... and you have a pretty fantastic eatery. Did I mention each table has three bottled sauces to choose from? I particularly enjoyed the chipotle flavor. Score!

Giving up on this one.

Like Rizzo's and Roy's, we have had to give up on one more sandwich: the Pulled Pork at Elliott Bay Cafe. Seattle Magazine warned us that it might be hard to come by. We've tried twice and don't even see a hint of it at either location on their website. So, we're going to cross it off the list. Fortunately, we can say with certainty that their Grilled Cheese is fab.

#36 of 48: Pork Belly Bahn Mi at Matt's in the Market.

Did I seriously last update this blog at the end of May? That's embarrassing. Oh, well, I digress... There have been sandwiches eaten. There have been more restaurant closures, so sandwich eating opportunities have also been lost. Fortunately, Matt's in the Market is well loved in Seattle. Providing a quiet place to eat lunch just above the always crowded Pike Place Market, it's a gem of a restaurant.

Meet Matt's Pork Belly Bánh Mì. It's pricey at $16, but is packed with a generous portion of fairly lean and tender pork belly. The tangy sauce creates quite a mess, so this is at least a two napkin kind of sandwich. I unfortunately had to remove the fresno chilies because they made the sandwich too spicey for me. We both agreed that this particular Bánh Mì's taste is worthy of an A, but the hefty price tag doesn't make it a particularly good value.

Also worthy of ordering at Matt's in the Market: the not-so-coffee-flavored, but somewhat spicy Stumptown BBQ Pulled Pork.
