There are plenty of good hot sandwiches in any town. But making a great hot sandwich is something of an art form. There are too many ways for things to go wrong: Sharp crusts that scratch the roof of the mouth; one-note fillings; sad lettuce; etc. Seattle Times journalist and restaurant critic Bethany Jean Clement joins Tan to discuss her criteria for a stellar hot sandwich, and they taste three from her top-10 list.
Read Bethany’s list of the 10 best hot sandwiches in the city in The Seattle Times.
Sandwiches we tasted in this episode:
- Croque monsieur — $15, Bar Bayonne, Central District
- Pho-rench dip panini — $19-200, Ba Bar, various locations
- Vegetarian Pabellón arepa — Arepa Venezuelan Kitchen, University District
