This month the Seattle Met listed 100 reasons to love Seattle.

Obviously, as sandwich enthusiasts, these were our favorites:

Reasons 22–31. We Know Sandwiches

Oh yeah, we got salmon. We got cupcakes. But for whatever reason sandwiches rule as our current obsession, so here’s a list of the Great Ones.

Baguette Box (baguettebox.com) The Drunken Chicken is a banh-mi on steroids.
Delicatus (delicatusseattle.com) New and brick-lined in Pioneer Square, offering a killer spicy pork with jalapeno aioli and hot pepper number called Fire of 1889.
Homegrown (eathomegrown.com) The turkey-bacon-avocado sandwich has a cult following among those who like their lunch with a side of sustainability.
Market Grill (206-682-2654) Don’t even think about anything but the blackened salmon sandwich at this Pike Place Market lunch counter.
Paseo (paseoseattle.com) Two words: Midnight Cuban.
Rizzo’s French Dip (rizzosfrenchdip.com) Big, wet French dips are all they got, and all you need.
Roy’s BBQ (royscolumbiacity.com) If there’s anything better than the pulled-pork Georgia Gold at this hole-in-the-wall, we’ve never met it.
Salumi (salumicuredmeats.com) Artisan cured meats made into marvels like the hot porchetta at Seattle’s legendary Old World salumeria.
Skillet (skilletstreetfood.com): Okay, it’s a burger…but it’s slathered with bacon jam!
Tat’s Deli (tatsdeli.com): The East Coast–style fave moved around the corner but remembered to bring its killer Tatstrami recipe. Whew!
