What Is Austin’s Best Sandwich?
A sandwich is a simple thing, really — two pieces of bread with something inside — and yet the options are seemingly endless. Especially in Austin. To help you, dear listener, host Nikki DaVaughn is joined by City Cast Austin producer Elissa Castles and newsletter editor Kelsey Bradshaw to determine what is the best sandwich in the city. We’re talking about the most surprising sandwiches in town, the best sandwich-adjacent options (and what even counts as a sandwich anymore), and the overall best sando in the city. Warning: Do not listen to this on an empty stomach. And if you’re hungry for more, check out Kelsey’s coverage of Austin’s hot dog offerings, and her ode to her favorite sandwich in town.
