The 5 Best New Sandwich Shops in the United States
"In 2023 Tara Francolini opened an homage to the Italian delis she knew in New Jersey, offering Italian-American sandwiches on Ralph Brennan Bakery rolls or housemade focaccia in New Orleans. Classics like chicken parm subs sit alongside inventive combinations such as the Gandolfini, an Italian-inspired muffuletta loaded with hot soppressata, fresh mozzarella, arugula dressed in hot Calabrian chile vinaigrette, and a spicy olive salad; the shop’s tagline—“Not everything from Jersey sucks”—sums up the playful confidence of the menu." - Raphael Brion
