The Columbus Sandwich
What does Columbus taste like? We assembled a sandwich from some of the city’s many noteworthy and historic purveyors to answer just that. The result is part Italian sub, part BLT, and all delicious. Can one single sandwich encapsulate the many cultures and traditions that make up the city’s diverse food scene? Of course not. With the bounds of good taste (not to mention gravity) in mind, we still managed to create something that represents centuries of combined experience, gathered from the far corners of Central Ohio. For your consideration: the Columbus Sandwich—a small taste of what makes this city such a unique and wonderful place to eat.
