I'll add some more when it isn't so late, but my new favorite sandwich is
the Japanese Sandwich, add kimchi - from the Four Corners of the Earth Deli in Burlington.
Actually, this place hasn't been talked about much, at least in my memory, has it?
I think it is a great place, decent prices, but amazingly creative, wide-ranging and unique sandwiches. that being said, i always get the same one...

I've also been turned on to the Vietnamese sandwiches at the Vietnamese tea house in burlington, I've forgotten it's name (is it Sapa?) anyway, they are inexpensive, filling and mostly remind of the sandwiches that i used to get when i lived in little Vietnam in Boston.

Since my theme is sandwiches, i have to say, the sandwich bar at City Market has been really pleasing me recently. ok, back to making soup...

Jason, I have to say, I find the banh mi at 99 Asian Market more flavorful than those at Sapa's, though theirs is on better bread. The ones at 99 are only $3, too!
