What's the best sandwich in San Diego?
Transcript
What's the best sandwich in San Diego? Gordon brew. I feel like they have a little bit of everything. A good one is Mona Lisa in Little Italy. The ciabatta, like, the fresh ciabatta. Rubicon deli. They're no, like, big and there's fire. I like Jim's roast beef. That's, like, a classy take, but their food is so fresh and it's like one of the best, sandwiches I've ever had. Homa's and Ocean Beach. That would be my favorite best because of the nostalgic of it. They're more so sub style sandwiches, Italian style subs. You can build your own. Oh, it's in Ramona at Ramona Lisa pizza shop. They make a fried turkey sandwich over there. Board and Brew, really good. Their turkey sandwiches are fantastic. I don't eat sandwiches. It's just not really my arsenal right now. Pretty much burritos and Panda Express
