Edmonton spots for sandwiches
Sometimes, you just want to grab your lunch with both hands. A sandwich is lunch perfection when on the go, or stuck at a desk. Or, if you’re honest with yourself, it’s the perfect way to fuel your prosciutto addiction. Hit these spots for great sandwiches with killer names.
Farrow
8422 109 St NW, Edmonton, AB T6G 1E2This sandwich joint is the little sister of Three Boars Eatery, known for their dedication to using local products and their casual, laidback attitudes. But man, these guys are serious about sandwiches. A friend once claimed that his Farrow sandwich was laced with the best bacon he had ever tasted. And, I love the cheeky sandwich names, like From the Colonel’s Cold Dead Hands (it’s a cold fried chicken salad sandwich!).
Swiss 2 Go Inc
Run by a hardworking, tough-as-nails lady, Swiss 2 Go is small but sturdy. Their Italian Bride Sandwich was named one of Avenue magazine’s 25 Best Things to Eat by foodie Gail Hall. Their pretzel buns, studded with kosher salt, are legendary. They’ve also developed a gluten-free bun in-house. And, their excessive use of prosciutto excites me.
Cibo Bistro
11244 104 Ave NW, Edmonton, AB T5K 2X4This Italian restaurant may be very elegant and refined but their lunch menu features one item that is delicious but ultimately very out of character for them: A meatball sub. I think they allow it because it is so tempting, with melted smoked caciocavallo melding with prosciutto and wilted arugula. The tomato basil jam seals the flavour deal. They also offer a sandwich special but do yourself a solid and just order the meatball sub already.
