Publix can be a whirlwind of activity - especially around lunch hour or right after work - as customers swarm the aisles in search of their next reasonably-timed meal. If you're in a rush, avoid the deli counter - because there will be a wait - and you will not be alone. The deli counter is home to the beloved Pub Sub, as well as chicken prepared two ways - fried and oven-roasted, rotisserie style.
Sammy's is the new sandwich shop and cafe in Adair Park by chef Sam Pinner and ( Paul Rudd lookalike) Jason Furst. The duo has nailed the sandwich, mostly because they know where to find the best bread - premier Atlanta bakeries like Alon's, El Progresso, and Pan American.
