The Best Sandwiches in Orlando

From Maine to Mexico, the Windy City to the Texas Badlands, one thing we all have in common is the sandwich. Fanatical fans of food stuffed into bread can spend hours debating the merits of Reuben over Cuban and sub vs. club. And I can hear the grumbling from the burgermeisters and frankfanatics in the audience—sorry, as far as I’m concerned they ain’t sandwiches. Having spent weeks sampling sandwiches from the sublime to the truly inedible, I can recommend the following six as the best of what Orlando has to offer.

The Rice Stuff

Mi Tomatina’s paella contradicts Americans’ notions about rice stuck to the bottom of the pot.

Covered Dishes

At Stone’s Throw Bistro, chef Rich Lendino tops off his fare with flavorful sauces.

No Subtitle Needed at Disney’s Sanaa

The cuisine—African or Indian, or a bit of both—at the new restaurant in the Animal Kingdom Lodge speaks a universal language.

Joseph Hayes,

Continental Divide

The Oriental offerings easily outmatch the Ottoman ones at Chi in Baldwin Park.

Joseph Hayes,

A Paradise Found at Pleasure Island

The new Paradiso 37 isn't quite as billed, but the quality of the food makes up for that.

Joseph Hayes,

Two Worlds, 20 Steps Apart

The differences between neighbors Bull & Bush Pub and The Social Chameleon work in your favor.
