In Search of Sustainable Sandwiches

Niman Ranch. Marin Sun Farms. "House cured." The vocabulary of high-end restaurant menus is finding its way between the bread. It's a sustainable sandwich revolution, in which sandwich boards sound bourgier and panini get pricier, but for a good cause.

The classic American sandwich fillings - plasticine cheese, mass-produced cold cuts, and corn syrup condiments like Marshmallow Fluff - are neither sustainable nor particularly healthy. But why force fast-food philosophy on something so simple to make? A new wave of sandwich shops are slowing down, making their own ingredients, and finding local suppliers to construct better-for-you and better tasting sammies.

Given, it's mostly a West Coast phenomenon so far, but the model works everywhere from East Coast delis to mini chain restaurants. Find out where to get your fix.

Kitchenette: Little Place, Big Taste

Like the Dogpatch neighborhood that houses it, SF's Kitchenette is a sprout of warmth and charm hidden among industrial chill and loading docks. Run out of a catering company's garage, the makeshift storefront consists of little more than a red-and-white-checkered counter, chalkboard signs, and a few benches. The limited-time-only lunches include a handful sandwiches and other items, presumably made from whatever the caterers have on hand. I took the day off on my birthday and took my friend Kate up on her offer to drive, and I left highly, highly satisfied. Take a tour below.
