Purists will be happy to know they can still order classic BLTs!ġ534 Pacific Ave., Santa Cruz 6. Having bacon and egg as ingredients, it’s reminiscent of breakfast, but since it’s egg salad, it feels more like lunch - a unique and delightful combination. But Zoccoli’s did, and they created a great sandwich, the BELT ($6.75) with bacon, egg salad, lettuce, and tomato on toasted wheat bread. Some folks might say don’t mess with a classic like the BLT. There’s also a without-ham version available for 25 cents less.ħ02 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz 5. The Buttery’s delectable Torta ($8) has the bakery and café using Saag’s black forest ham, homemade refried black beans, tomatoes, marinated red onions, pickled jalapeños, avocado, and two Mexican cheeses. Tortas are Mexican sandwiches filled with toppings traditionally found on tacos and burritos, with the main difference being the ingredients are inside a roll instead of a tortilla. Lots of items rotate, but mainstays include this delicious sandwich ($8.75) featuring a generous portion of chicken salad made from locally raised chickens, avocado, Happy Boy Farms greens, and turmeric pickled onions made on-site, all placed inside rustic sourdough-wheat-rye bread from Companion Bakeshop.ġ25 Beach St., Santa Cruz 4. This café, operated by the same folks as Penny Ice Creamery and Assembly, specializes in seasonal offerings made with local farm and artisan goods. 38 North Chicken Salad from The Picnic Basket Ingredients like homemade basil pesto, fresh mozzarella, Roma tomatoes, homemade aioli, and a Ciabatta roll combine to create a moist, flavorful sandwich that’s also beautiful.Ģ125 Delaware Ave., Santa Cruz 3. But the sandwiches are divine, and my personal favorite is the Caprese sandwich ($7). Since Café Iveta is an offshoot of a wholesale baked goods company, you would think folks would mostly flock to the Westside Santa Cruz bakery/cafe for pastries like their renowned scones. My husband and I also love the Sausage sandwich, so we often order one of each and split them for the best of both worlds!ġ116 Soquel Ave., Santa Cruz 2. The meatballs themselves are flavorful and hearty, and they’re smothered in the restaurant’s Sunday Gravy: rich tomato-based sauce simmered for hours with ground pork, ground beef, Italian sausage, and country spareribs. Many people flock to the family-run Italian restaurant for its great pasta offerings, but it also has very satisfying sandwiches including Meatball ($8.95), served on a Ciabatta roll with provolone cheese. I can’t wait to hear about a few “must-try” sandwiches that I have never eaten! 1. So I’ve picked 10 scrumptious sandwiches – well actually, nine, because I’d like you, dear readers, to select the 10th one! You can do this by posting a comment that mentions a sandwich you love from somewhere in Santa Cruz County, that didn’t make it on the list. There are so many terrific sandwiches in Santa Cruz County, it’s hard to pick a favorite. The fall special is only available through November 23, but we’re predicting Papa John’s will bring it back next year because it already has fan videos like this one posted by Eater.Photo: Hoisin Pork Sandwich from Charlie Hong Kong In a nod to the Frito Chili Pie, the Papa John’s pizza underneath contains beef, chili sauce, tomatoes, onion, and cheese. The mashup: How do you improve a pizza? Sprinkle Fritos on it, duh. The simplicity of this is nothing short of beautiful. (Photo: Domino’s Pizza India) Pizza + Fritos = Fritos Chili Pizza The subwich is the same size as a pizza slice, but way taller-there’s no way you’d be able to get all the layers in a single bite, a fundamental design flaw for a sandwich. Honestly this just seems difficult to eat. The “subwich” contains either a breaded chicken patty or a breaded vegetarian patty (chili jalapeno three bean, to be precise), plus sliced bell peppers and a creamy pepper relish. Beef-free Burger King and now this from Domino’s: A patty sandwiched between two slices of pizza dough. The mashup: Fast food in India is different, guys. It’s a regular fixture on the menu at Epic Deli in Johnsburg, Illinois, whose sandwiches are so beloved that people-I-now-want-to-be-friends-with ask them to cater their weddings. It’s a ham-and-cheese on white bread, which is then tempura battered, Dorito crumbed, and fried. Even more awesome: It comes with a side of ghost pepper ranch dipping sauce. The mashup: This sandwich is named after the bully from the Friday film trilogy, but to us it sounds more like a lover than a fighter.
