Sandwich Crawl - 6/20/09
Brian takes on the rare task of doing a food show, as he travels to all parts of the Bay Area searching for the best sandwich.
Yum, Yum, Yummy! I definitely gained a pound while shooting this show, searching for some of great sandwiches in the Bay Area. We picked nine spots that already received great reviews by staff, fans and food enthusiasts from the website "Yelp!" For fun, we rated each tasty sandwich on taste, value and appearance, (up to 10 points for each) for a total score of up to 30.
Here are the top three scorers, the sandwiches we picked and where you can find these sandwich gems!
Happy Eating!
