Omg, I’m not even a sandwich fan but this Boca sandwich was a revelation! Three types of meat with cheese and delicious sauces – you can’t beat that! This sandwich was loaded and it knocked my socks off. NOMS!

Pepperoni steak sandwich – Charley’s Grilled Subs

Pepperoni steak sandwich - Charley's Grilled Subs
Steak, pepperoni, grilled onions, green peppers, provolone. Small $6.49
Charley’s Grilled Subs, San Francisco CA

I’ve decided that I should never eat here again. The quality sucks and the sandwiches are small and don’t taste very good. Shame on me for returning here a second time (but I did use a coupon). 🙂

Philly cheesesteak – Charley’s Grilled Subs

Philly cheesesteak - Charley's Grilled Subs
Steak, grilled onions, green peppers, mushrooms and white American cheese, lettuce, tomato, jalapeno, banana peppers, pickles. Regular $7.99
Charley’s Grilled Subs, San Francisco CA

This really wasn’t what I expected when I ordered a philly cheesesteak. I enjoyed that there were a lot of veggies in there, but at the same time there was very little steak and cheese! And this really didn’t fill me up at all, so unless I have a coupon, I’m probably not going back.

Cheesesteak – Pat’s King of Steaks

Cheesesteak - Pat's King of Steaks
American cheese “wit” grilled onions. $8.80
Pat’s King of Steaks, Philadelphia PA

Yay, my first authentic Philly cheesesteak! I liked it, but I was a bit disappointed after all the hype. I’m not convinced that this was better than some of the great cheesesteaks I’ve had outside of Philadelphia. This was still very yummy though!

This sandwich was delicious and HUGE! But I guess you would expect a humongous sandwich for almost twenty bucks. The pastrami was SO flavorful and beautifully smoked. The mustard had a great tang. The rye bread wasn’t my favorite since I’ve had better elsewhere. This was definitely a two meal sandwich!

Pickles - Katz Delicatessen
Pickles. Complimentary
These pickles were great with a very interesting texture that I hadn’t experienced before. It’s hard to describe but it definitely wasn’t that of your typical pickle.

Roast beef, pepper jack cheese, pastrami, pepperoni, turkey, ham, bacon, lettuce, jalapeno peppers, tomato on Dutch crunch bread. $5.99
Miss Tomato Sandwich Shop, San Francisco CA

This sandwich was good, but not as spectacular as Ike’s. The Dutch crunch bread that I got was also a bit stale. I did like the combination of ingredients for this specialty sandwich though.

Classic reuben sandwich – Royalicious Bagel Bakery

Corn beef with sauerkraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing on grilled marble rye.
Royalicious Bagel Bakery, Charles Town WV

Mmm, this sandwich was delicious and really big! The corned beef tasted great and they certainly didn’t skimp on the meat or the sauerkraut. I also liked the marbled rye bread.
