FiDi Sandwich Round Up

I got bread, turkey and cheese at home but I couldn't wake my sleepy-ass up five minutes early to throw them together. Good thing these places are right around the corner:
1. Ebbett's Good to Go
This friendly arugula monster is a BLT made with niman ranch bacon, heirloom tomatoes, and chipotle aioli. I've also had their spicy Cuban sandwich, which was riquisimo. Ebbett's is a woman-owned food truck specializing in sandwiches made with sustainable and local ingredients.  Find them at Civic Center and other spots by following them on Twiiter.
2. Boudin
This place gets a mention for its fresh bread and balcony seating. Simple, in the $7 range, and there are lots of soup/salad/chips/soda combo options (but who drinks soda?)
3. The Sentinel
The first time I came here I waited in a line around the corner with a group of regulars who seemed to know the routine all to well: gal with the black pen comes around and one by one scratches popular items off the menu, then the crowd collectively sighs and curses about not getting the sandwich they wanted. But they stick around anyway, because the whole menu is delicious. Word of advice to my fellow fidi powersuits,  the "waste my lunch break away hoping to get the sandwich I want" game is pretty wack. Call in or go early because that spicy pork ain't worth missing. Same Chef as Golden West.
4. Cafe Algiers
This gets the best sandwich for the best price award. Don't be fooled by the unassuming storefront, their spicy turkey sandwich with avocado was fresh, big, and cheap ($5-something in the FiDi is unheard of). While there are lines it's got nothing to do with trendiness, it's just a good deal -- and that's what a sandwich should be.

Got any good sandwich spots downtown? Let me know. Also, don't forget to check out an earlier post on Chez Carla.

Got the travel bug?
