Alright, fine. I know what you're thinking:'What an ambit claim, how can you possibly demonstrate that something is the best? It varies from week to week, even the greatest sandwich maker has an off day."
Well, I am prone to hyperbole, but as the man at the Alpen Pantry (Old Greenwich, Connecticut) said as he leaned on the counter and someone fixed my sandwich up "Well, we've been here for over seventy five years, so we must be doing something right".
Yes, I'd agree. There's a preponderance of black breads, and their website is essentially the sandwich list supplied below, but for those who are thinking of opening a sandwich bar of their own, you could do far worse than emulate this little gem that my brother pointed out to me while I was visiting the US recently.
