Toogs Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 On a quest. Taking suggestions for a trip around DC trying stuff. Here is the tentative list. You will not hurt my feelings insulting this list, but I am more looking for suggestions we have missed. Wagshal’s – Brisket Wisemiller’s – Chicken Madness Eden Center – Banh Mi (song que or banh mi so 1 Lost Dog Cafe - ? American Seafood Corporation – Blackened Fish Italian Store – Milano? Earl’s – The Pearl? Horace & Dickie’s – Fried Fish SUNdeVICH – Athens? Taylor – Island Ave or Church St? Fast Gourmet – Chivito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
captcourt Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Ooo, this is a good idea. On the Italian Store, I would personally quibble with the Milano - I think the Roma is more interesting with the prosciutto base, but it's one of the bigger salt bombs there (!) so it's probably not a sandwich for everyone. I love A. Litteri's subs and some of the sandwiches from So's Your Mom, but don't feel qualified to name "bests" so maybe someone else can?

Tujague Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Even with Anthony Pilla gone, I'm still a big fan of the sandwiches at Seventh Hill Pizza--especially the veggie or the prosciutto versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weezy Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Haven't been there yet myself, but lots of good buzz about Stachowski's sandwiches at his Georgetown shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toogs Posted October 11, 2012 Author Share Posted October 11, 2012 Mangialardo & Sons - The G Man ChurchKey - The New Luther G-Man better than the italian store? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Delicious Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 At Lost Dog, their best sandwich is the Turkey Reuben. For The Italian Store, i'm partial to the Philly. And, as an aside, Pie-Tanza recently surprised me with a solid Chicken Parm (get extra sauce) and Italian Sub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Waitman Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Haven't been there yet myself, but lots of good buzz about Stachowski's sandwiches at his Georgetown shop His pastrami is probably the best in town. I'd put the grinder up there, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hungry prof Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Wisemiller’s – Chicken Madness Chicken Madness serves a useful role for calorie- and grease-seeking Georgetown undergraduates, but I'm not sure it deserves a place on any "best of" list for DC sandwiches.

porcupine Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Waitman beat me to it. Get the pastrami from Stachowski's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monavano Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 Mr. MV works across from Bayou Bakery and raves about the muff-a-lotta (and arm drip), so I had him bring me one home. I reheated it in the toaster oven and yeah, it's really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Had a french dip at Earl's today along with the sweet potato fries. Absolutely great sandwich with a lot of terrific flavors and side dish....and filling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 Even with Anthony Pilla gone, I'm still a big fan of the sandwiches at Seventh Hill Pizza--especially the veggie or the prosciutto versions. I'm still most fond of the spicy tuna, but the sandwiches here definitely rate inclusion on a best of list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frogprince Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 i'm finishing the other half of jamie's pastrami and yes, it deserves to be on that list stachowski's - pastrami fast gourmet - cubano (i adore culinary traditions but find the chivito repulsive but really, every single one of those ingriedients needs to be on there!?!) 2 amy's - soft shell on sourdough am wine shoppe - admo (yes iam biased because this is our sister joint) taylor - ive had the same pork-provolone-raab thing there twice in the last month (t st): 1 was outstanding; the other was atrocious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toogs Posted October 15, 2012 Author Share Posted October 15, 2012 We ended up doing: Wagshal’s – Brisket (I had it before but it was even better than I remembered, and the winner overall) DC Banh Mi combo #1 on par with Song Que in EC Lost Dog Cafe -Turkey reuben, pretty much as good as a TR can be, and they had The Fear on tap, so winner American Seafood Corporation – Blackened Grouper, very very good, some people had it number 1 overall Italian Store – Roma The peppers here are a notch above other places with good Italians. Some of the group have Santucci's Italian cold cut above it, I put them on par. Proscuitto makes it an unfair comparison Earl’s – Pork and Fries, I didn't care much for this although the pork was good. Group loved it. Horace & Dickie’s – Fried Fish lol at this being in a sandwich competition but great stuff Taylor – Chicken cutlet with brie, pesto, arugula Good to great sandwich, would eat again. Thanks everyone for the suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
