Portland, Oregon’s Best Sandwiches | Eater Portland
"Pastrami is the name of the game at Sammich, so much so that its companion food cart carried the same name as the flagship sandwich: the Pastrami Zombie. Owner Melissa McMillan brines and smokes beef brisket in a process that takes nearly a week. The result is beautifully tender, rich, and aromatic pastrami, stacked tall on rye bread with just a bit of slaw, mayo, and Swiss cheese. It’s such an immaculate sandwich that it’s easy to miss the other items on the menu, but after a few return visits it’s advisable to branch out to sandwiches like the Chicago Italian beef (a la The Bear) or the excellent burger, Da Burger. However, there’s no shame in sticking with the Zombie." - Alex Frane
