One of the ‘best sandwiches in the country’ is bright green, and only a day-trip from Columbus

Just by the looks of it, you probably wouldn’t pick the bright-green Queen Benedictine Sandwich to be named one of the country’s best sandwich in a recent list from USA Today food writers.

But you’d be wrong.

The mint-colored delicacy is one of the flagship menu items at The Cafe in Louisville, which is located about three hours from Columbus, a drive that can be done round trip in a day if you’re into foodie road trips. It was recently included in a list created by USA Today titled “These best sandwiches in America are worth a road trip (or a detour).’

According to USA Today, the Queen Benedictine was created by longtime Loiusivlle caterer Jennie C. Benedict in the early 20th century, with its unique coloration coming from a combination of cream cheese and cucumber. 

The Cafe, which opened in 1996 in Lousville’s Paristown neighborhood, is combined with bacon, sliced cucumber, and lettuce at the longstanding eatery, and served on artisanal walnut bread.
