Move aside hot wings and cupcakes. A classic favorite has taken over the restaurant scene — sandwiches. Kenny & Zuke’s Sandwich Works, a Portland, Ore., eatery, provides traditional American sandwich classics with both a New York deli and Midwestern twist.
Kenny & Zuke’s use the freshest meats, breads and cheeses to create mouthwatering combinations like their pastrami Reuben, corned beef on rye, Chicago Italian beef and chicken club salad.
Laurelhurst Market, also in Portland, takes advantage of the sandwich craze with butcher case sandwiches. By serving at a butcher counter, they can take advantage of fresh roasted meats and can easily customize sandwiches to appeal to what each patron wants.
