This episode is the first of a two-part special report recapping our 2023 Sandwich Quest. We chowed down on the best versions of 48 classic sandwiches across St. Louis to let you know who served up our favorites. From the simple Grilled Cheese to the also simple, but much more fancy sounding Jambon Buerre, Nick, Francie, and Travis are joined by a special guest, “STL Sandwich Man,” to let you know which sandwiches left us feeling warm and toasty, and which ones weren’t worth the bread.
