I’m going to premise this telling with the disclaimer that this is not a comprehensive list of every sandwich I’ve ever loved in St. Pete… We’d be here quite a while. However, we will call this an ode to the sandwiches I’m loving right now, the ones currently invading my thoughts when the midday hunger pangs strike, if you will.
Our list begins in a little cheese shop in the heart of the Edge District. Brooklyn South is a go-to spot to find that perfect cheese for your charcuterie board or to enjoy said cheese in sandwich form while meandering the streets of downtown. This beauty includes ham, romaine, and gloriously melted mozzarella. You definitely can’t go wrong with a cheese pull like that.
Next up is a spot that doubles as one of my favorite brunch libation meccas (we’ll talk more about this in the future, I promise). Thirsty First rocks the socks off of a pressed sandwich. The Hen is a current fave with its pressed French loaf hugging chicken salad, sundried tomato, green apples, sriracha aioli, and provolone. Pro tip: definitely order with a side of tots!
Last, but not least is Bacchus, a new wine bar edition a few steps away from Beach Drive. Best enjoyed with a glass of their Happy Hour pour for $4.50, this grilled cheese is such a fun spin with its avocado, red onions, and delicious beet spread. Y’all check them out between 4-7pm.
