The Best New Restaurants In Austin: The Austin Hit List

"Meat nerds everywhere will feel their ears perk up after hearing the words “Olympia Provisions.” We mention those words because the Portland-based restaurant with a cultlike following supplies the mortadella, capicola, and salami for Knuckle Sandwich’s Italian sub. But it’s not just excellent meats that make this sandwich worth crossing town for. It’s light and crunchy bread topped with za’atar. It’s Mama Lil’s pickled peppers. It’s a long, thin sheet of crispy baked parmesan cheese. This is one of the best sandwiches you’ll find in the city, and you can get it from a small trailer outside of Ants Beer Cave in South Austin. Oh right, and there are other sandwiches there, too." - nicolai mccrary, matthew jacobs, matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, nicolai mccrary, ni
