It’s no secret that we Americans love our sandwiches. Maybe it’s because they contain all the ingredients for an entire meal in one portable, convenient, usually affordable hand-held package. Perhaps it’s because we can put almost anything we want into a sandwich and have it almost instantly. Or maybe it’s just because there’s something downright delicious that we just cannot resist about the combination of bread, meat, condiments, and veggies. No matter the reason, whenever the craving strikes, you need to know where to find the best sandwiches near Alhambra.
