Bunk Sandwiches | Portland, OR

The first thing that attracted us to Bunk Sandwiches was the promise of sinking our teeth into one of, if not, their best specialty sandwich, the Pork Belly Cubano. I know, it doesn't sound that appetizing. Heck, it doesn't even roll off the tongue as easy as saying BLT, PB&J, or Ham and Cheese. But don't kid yourself. After that first bite of their seasoned pork belly combined with a slice of cured ham, melted Swiss cheese, pickles and mustard, you'd think you just died and gone to heaven. But like I said, this is only one of a handful of specialties on the menu. There is also the Meatball Parmigiana Hero, the Tillamook Grilled Cheese, the Italian Cured Meat, and the Oregon Albacore Tuna Melt. All are made fresh and to order.

A few words of warning, however. Bunk Sandwiches is very popular among the locals and business elite with lines going out the door, not to mention ticket after ticket of take-out orders. Failure to get there sometime before 10:30 am/11:00 am could result in a missed opportunity.

Pine State Biscuits | Portland, OR

Founded in 2006 at the Portland Farmers Market, Pine State Biscuits opens its storefront location for breakfast or lunch, seven days a week, rain or shine.

Now, at first glance, it's not plainly obvious that it should be labeled as just a sandwich shop, especially when the culinary offerings are not served up between a freshly baked kaiser roll, a ciabatta roll, or even a simple baguette. Heck, the words "do you want white, wheat, or rye" isn't even among the employees' vocabulary. I mean, we're talkin' about biscuits here, right? But once you get a look at the Reggie with its crispy bacon, oozing cheese, and a perfectly fried piece of chicken smothered nicely by a warm blanket of gravy, you forget that these ingredients are stuffed between a biscuit bigger than a hockey puck ... Next thing you know, you're thinking, "Oh yeah, that's a sandwich!!!" And if you have time and room for it, be sure to check out the Regina, the Moneyball, and the Wedgie.
