Today’s sandwich is Genoa salami, capicola, provolone, and mozzarella from Vespucci’s.
Location: 211 Danforth Street
Price: $4.95 (Small 6″)
Notes: This sandwich is a celebration of texture much more than it is flavor. Super soft bread, super cool meats, and tons of crispy vegetables make for a satisfying lunch. There are no standout ingredients, and no matter how many ingredients you pile on, you never end up with a cold cut layer thicker than about a quarter of an inch; the whole combination, however, is an impressive version of Maine’s unique take on this sandwich. You don’t get a sandwich from Vespucci’s because you want a gourmet sandwich experience…you get one because you’ve been tacking up drywall all day, you’ve got five bucks in your pocket, and you’re hungry as hell. In this capacity, this sandwich was a success.
About the Author: Malcolm Bedell
My first memories of cooking start in Maine at six years old, when I wore a yellow rainslicker to avoid getting spattered by the bacon I was frying in a skillet. My interest in both Mexican cooking and recreating classic New England dishes from scratch developed while living in Mexico, on a steady diet of pork and habanero peppers. You can see more of my writing and photography online on Serious Eats, the Huffington Post, BlogHer, and Foodista, as well as in print for Downeast, Indulge, and Cigar Snob magazines.
