"If things are going smoothly, drivers will hit the Fairfield stretch of I-80 about an hour outside of San Francisco, and this is a perfect excuse to stretch your legs and get a hit of old-school sandwiches at Joe’s Buffet in Fairfield. Nabiha and Saeb Ziadeh have run this family-owned Fairfield institution since 1982 (although the restaurant goes as far back as 1953), and locals typically go for the French dip sandwich complete with au jus, with a side of mashed potatoes. It’s a short but satisfying menu of hearty sandwiches." - Dianne de Guzman
