Seriously some of the best sandwiches my family has had! We're New Yorkers, so we are picky about bagels and delis. Plus, my dad is a chef and super critical about other people's foods and he even sang its praises! My cousin even texted me that he dad told her about the delicious sandwiches I had bought for their arrival.
I had to pick my parents up from the airport at night and knew they'd be hungry. I called around to see if any of the top-rated PDX sandwich shops trusted that their breads could withstand the 5 hours until their arrival. The team member that answered the phone listed off the ones she thought would survive as long as I omitted the tomatoes. I got the Jimmy Pesto, Chubby Puggy, Stein's, C.A.R, and the Goods. All were still delicious and not soggy when they arrived. And even better, there were leftovers because they are a decent size and when they ate them two days later at their picnic and they said they still weren't soggy! I was impressed. The bread isn't a stale block or anything, just well made!
The only one I didn't steal a bite of was the Chubby Puggy. My husband took that one to work. He wished there was a little more bacon jam, but said it was a good sandwich. My mom and I aren't particular fans of pastrami, but the Goods was so good! They have definitely reopened the pastrami menu possibilities in my book. This will definitely be my new sandwich go-to, especially for adventures (picnics, beach, hiking, etc.).
