DMV has very, very low standards for sandwiches

I’ve lived in NYC, New Haven, and Baltimore — all cities with excellent sandwiches. DC and the suburbs have many awesome sandwich options.
Many transplants only eat at places pre-approved by other transplants. People like me will never tell people who approach our city with arrogance and ignorance where to get the best stuff. Also, there are some places that serve excellent food — but if you run off at the mouth woofing about “dog food”, that’s what you’ll get. |

| It isn’t just the DMV. A sandwich is only as good as the ingredients. Unless the place is making their meat on side and baking their own bread (or sources from a real bakery, not grocery chain), the sandwich is going to be crap. This accounts for the majority of places in every state. |

| Bub and Pops is good. So is Parkway Deli. I didn't like Compliments Only as much as some people, but we're each entitled to our own opinions. You are also entitled to your opinion but yours is not actually more important or more correct than anyone else's. Sorry you're picky. De gustibus non est disputandum. |

DH ordered from Taylor Gourmet a few weeks ago and we had to throw the sandwich out bc it was so inedible. I also had a really bad pastrami sandwich from Duke’s on a business lunch the other day. DH also tried that egg sandwich place in Cleveland Park that I thought was horrible.
I agree with the above poster that Bub and Pops and Parkway were some of the better places. Compliments Only is the only place I order from but even then, it can be hit or miss. I honestly prefer the tartines and sandwiches from PQ and Tatte. |

| I would not call a hoagie gourmet. That’s sort of bowling alley good |

Well, I find all of the cheesesteak sandwiches I’ve ever tried in Philadelphia revolting, yet I wouldn’t say that the entire Philadelphia area has “very, very low standards for sandwiches.” |

I don't understand anyone who thinks they can find a better sandwich in a shop than they can make themselves.
It's a sandwich. It's assembly. Make it yourself. |

That garbage is for tourists. Roast pork is what really Philly eats, or a hoagie with way better bread than the trash they have here. |

I agree, op.
Also I work in Bethesda. All the delis around put alphaha sprouts in their sandwiches. I have never seen this before and it is gross. Just so gross and weird. There are seriously like 4 sandwich shops within a few blocks of my office. Boueymonger closed but they used to do it too. Subway does not, but Subway. (Alphaha sprouts are one of the few vegetables I detest). (None of them understand pickles as a sandwich topping either, except subway, but let's not go there). |

| Anyone who puts mayo on an Italian hoagie or an Italian inspired sandwich should be sent to jail. |
