Chopped Beef Sando
Verna Café & Bar
210 Louise Ave, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
This sandwich is what would happen if a sloppy Joe went to Asia. The beef is chopped super small, yet packs a sweet and gingery punch, becoming a full-on pleasure trip with the crackle of the butter-toasted bread.

The Odd Couple
All’Antico Vinaio
622 8th Ave S, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
This sandwich shop from Florence opened with a lot of hype, but The Odd Couple lives up to all of it. It’s made up of porchetta, sliced and stacked, with a creamy gorgonzola sauce and pistachio cream.

Asian Flank Steak & Smoked BBQ Beef Brisket
Mitchell Delicatessen
1306 McGavock Pk, Nashville, TN 37216, USA
Mitchell’s is a sandwich institution, and Asian flank steak is one of the cornerstones that built it, with tender marinated meat, provolone, and giardiniera.

Bánh Mì
East Side Banh Mi
1000 Gallatin Ave, Nashville, TN 37206, USA
One of the best things about the bánh mì at this Nashville takeout spot are the crispy homemade baguettes that rain crumbs all over the counter. But the fillings just might edge out the bread.

Eggplant Parmesan
Little Hats Market
1120 4th Ave N #101, Nashville, TN 37208, USA
The eggplant parm is vastly underrated. The sub roll does a stellar impression of garlic bread, and the slabs of crispy eggplant are slathered in zippy marinara sauce and melty mozzarella.

Morta Sando AKA "Uncle Morty"
Sauced
1221 6th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37208, USA
This is the holy grail on the Sauced menu. Inside the bun is a heap of whisper-thin shavings of mortadella, a pistachio pesto-like smear, and a tomme foam that oozes down the thing like a white sauce volcano.

Tuna Burger
Halls Catch Nashville
1600 West End Ave, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
This seafood-style burger used to be $8 at the bar but is still worth much more than they charge. The combo of the barely flame-kissed rare tuna with the bacon jam stands apart.

G.O.A.T.
Cocorico French Bakery & Cafe
1600 Division St First Floor - # 120, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
We like this sandwich at Cocorico so much, we've even attempted a version at home, but it doesn’t quite live up to their combo of goat cheese spread made with sun-dried tomatoes, cream, herbes de provence, and honey.

Hot Ham
Bare Bones Butcher
906 51st Ave N, Nashville, TN 37209, USA
The hot ham at Bare Bones is a staple. Though the jam spread rotates with the seasons, the deliciousness never falters—we’ve had apple butter in the fall and peach jam in the summer.

Blackened Grouper Sandwich
Fishmonger
1316 Adams St #112, Nashville, TN 37208, USA
There is one reason to go to Fishmonger in Germantown, and this sandwich is it. The slab of well-seasoned grouper is flaky and moist and hangs out of the edges of the fast food-sized bun.

Muffuletta
FatBelly Pretzel Bakery & Deli
921 Gallatin Ave, Nashville, TN 37206, USA
Every time we have the muffuletta from Fatbelly, we debate painting our own house in a mural that matches the one they have. It’s an homage to the sandwich, and you can get it hot or cold, but hot is where it’s at.

Collard Green Melt
Turkey and the Wolf Icehouse
800 Meridian St, Nashville, TN 37207, USA
Collard greens turn creamy and melty, get smothered in melted swiss, and are drizzled in a perfectly vinegary dressing. Cole slaw adds crunch, and the marble rye makes you reimagine every reuben you’ve ever had into this vegetarian version.

Cluck Cluck 3000
Bill's Sandwich Palace
311 N 16th St, Nashville, TN 37206, USA
When chicken salad is growing up, it aspires to be the one from Bill’s. It’s rich and creamy in the bacon blue cheese mayo dressing, the pickled red onions and fresh tomato cut through everything.

Southern Dirty Bird
Red's Hot Chicken
115 27th Ave N, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
Red’s perfect blend of spice and flavor is the reason it has the current hot chicken crown, and we have a real spiritual connection with this sandwich. The comeback sauce is so good, you’d think they invented it.

The Andre
Prince's Hot Chicken
5055 Broadway, Nashville, TN 37203, USA
It’s a messy one, thanks to the combo of creamy coleslaw and sweet heat sauce that’s reminiscent of Frank’s Red Hot, but the perfectly seasoned fried breast soaks up everything flawlessly.
