Nabbing the coveted cover story slot, food treasure Jan Newberry of San Francisco Magazine developed a near-definitive guide to the best sandwiches in the Bay Area. Her "opinionated" guide proves that nothing beats a good sandwich. A few of her favorites? The cubano at Ironside, the fried-rockfish sandwich at The Alembic, the sardine and seared squid sandwich at Barbacco (which, agreed, is all kinds of savory splendor to behold), the BBQ pork banh mi at Cam Huong Cafe, and the warm egg-salad sandwich at Daniel Patterson's Ferry Building outpost, just to name a few. (Read the entire rundown here.) Alas, Newberry fails to tip her hat to the Christ-like phenomenon known as HRD's Mongolian beef cheesesteak sandwich. We can only hope she'll allow us to buy her one so that she may add it to her impressive roster.
