"Gourmands Neighborhood Pub, one of Austin’s sandwich and pub institutions, is closing. The pub was known for its epic sandwiches and soups. Of the former, there’s the iconic Orgy sandwich, full of hot-peppered pastrami, Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and sauce on pumpernickel rye bread slices; the Second Deadly Sin with smoked turkey, bacon, fried avocado, Swiss cheese, plus the usual sandwich vegetables and green goddess mayonnaise; and the Foghorn Leghorn with a chunky chicken salad. Soups are served in bread bowls, ranging from the also iconic broccoli cheese to the clam chowder to the vegan spicy black bean soup. There’s also a great beer selection, with lots of Central Texas brewery options." - Nadia Chaudhury
