eatery review
The best eateries are found by word of mouth. Most people would rather take the word of a friend or a family member, over a feature in a magazine or a corporate opinion. Over the last few months I have been in search of the perfect sandwich. Although I have not yet found it, I did discover some places that are worth checking out. There are many different variables that go in to rating these sandwiches, including personal preference. I will be rating them on mine. The way I rated these sandwiches are:
SANDWICHES:
Calisandwich- located on 67th & Glisan, next to Plaid Pantry
This is a great thai sandwich shop, you can get two for $5.00. I ordered the currie chicken and a sesame chicken. They have great flavor, but sometimes they can be a little dry. Take them to go and add a little mayo or italian dressing.
Mac's Deli, located at 57th and Glisan.
This sandwich is a great size for the price of $5.50, and lots of stuff on it. The turn off is the turkey. It is that pressed jelly like turkey (processed) yuck!
Michael's located at 1111 SE Sandy at Burnside
This sandwich was o.k. I ordered the turkey assassin for $6.70. It had a good flavor, but for the price I was expecting way more. It was also really greasy. The oil came from the sauce of the spicy peppers that were on it.
QFC Grocery Store Deli located on around 35th and Burnside
This is the best sandwich that I have found as of yet. I ordered a turkey and swiss specialty sandwich for $5.50. They are usually $4.99 but I order mine on a seeded baguette for 50 cents more. Also, its best to have the short lady with the long dark hair make it. Don't get yours from the deli manager, hers suck, they are too sloppy.
Subway at your closest location, but I like the one in the Hollywood area.
I basically only order the special of the day for $2.75. This is a great price for the content and flavor. The best days are Monday: ham & turkey, and Sunday: the spicy BMT, it has ham, pepperoni and salami. Just don't go on Thursday it's some weird bologna trio.

Directions:
Print out on sticker paper, spread clear packaging tape over and then cut them out.
enjoy!

It seems totally inexcusable that those non-chain places can get beaten by Subway. Come on guys, try harder.
Hm, it's hard for me to trust your reviews because I find Subway sandwiches to be incredibly boring and bad, IMHO. They use plastic cheese! Ick!
My favorite PDX sandwiches can be found at Ken's Artisan Bakery, Daily Cafe, and Half and Half. The pulled pork sandwich at Screen Door is great too, as are several options at Navarre.
I'm still searching for a great Mexican torta in Portland.
Oh yeah, and the make-to-order sandwiches at Whole Fooods are good, but the ones at New Seasons are even better (and avocado doesn't cost extra!).
Vepadoe's at 16th and Alberta.
Proper Eats in St. John's.
Half and Half.
dudes
if youare gonna go to michaels you have to get their hot sandwiches not the turkey. get the italian beef and sausage with hot peppers. maybe some fries on the side. a soda. one of the best sandwiches in the city, hands down. cant vouch for michael himself. sometimes he can be a turd.
mmm Cali Sandwiches!
I've always found the spicy tofu never disapoints. and if you're running low on calories, try the Avocado smoothie!
