"Sandwiches are a cornerstone of the American diet. In fact, according to the Food Surveys Research Group, 47% of American adults eat at least one sandwich on any given day. Other estimates suggest that the average American consumes about 200 sandwiches per year. With numbers like that, it's no wonder that sandwich shops are nearly ubiquitous in any part of the country. Still, some of the best sandwiches are hiding in plain sight at chains you might have never heard of."
"Of course, most people are familiar with popular sandwich chains like Subway, Jersey Mike's, and Quiznos. Some have earned their following (Jersey Mike's devotees swear by it), while others coast more on convenience rather than flavor (we're side-eyeing Subway). But beyond the household names, there's a whole world of sandwich chains that fly under the radar to most sandwich shop patrons."
Sandwiches are a cornerstone of the American diet, with 47% of American adults eating at least one sandwich daily and the average American consuming about 200 sandwiches per year. Sandwich shops are widespread across the country, but many standout sandwich chains remain lesser-known. Popular national brands like Subway, Jersey Mike's, and Quiznos dominate recognition, while regional or niche shops can offer unique flavors. Primanti Bros., founded in Pittsburgh in the 1930s, became famous for overstuffed sandwiches topped with fresh-cut fries and tangy coleslaw, designed originally to serve busy workers a convenient hand-held meal.
