Creminelli Fine Meats, so is it any surprise that the meat counter here slices up only the finest prosciutto, mortadella and salami to top their Caputo sandwich? Finish with provolone, lettuce, tomato, olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a taste of Cosenza, Italy, via Pioneer Park. For a flavor-packed, non-meat protein source, check out Chow Truck’s (chowtruck.com) panko-fried tofu sliders glazed with kicky cilantro-chile pesto at Thursday’s Food Truck Fest on Gallivan Ave.

CHEESE: Located on Sandwich Row as well as two other downtown locations, Toasters Deli (30 E. 300 South, toastersdeli.com) is the center of a happening sandwich scene—just like the fresh mozzarella in their Premium. Surrounded by roasted red peppers, thin-sliced prosciutto and tomatoes, those thick slices of fresh cheese elicit rave reviews every bite. CABBAGE: While lettuce might be the most traditional green on a sandwich, cabbage is a far more intriguing offering at several downtown eateries. At Siegfried’s Delicatessen (20 W. 200 South, siegfriedsdelicatessen.biz), you’ll find a delightful sauerkraut below the generously portioned corned beef on the Reuben at this wellloved German deli.

Kimchi is the story at Lewis Bros. Food Truck (lewisbrosfoodtruck. com). Kimchi stew with pork, spicy kimchi-topped hot dog and crispy kimchi fries are the most impressive pickled offerings from this diner on wheels.
MAYO: There’s mayo and then there’s Bruges (336 W. 300 South, brugeswaffles.com) housemade Andalouse mayo featured on The Machine Gun sandwich. Start with a fresh baguette stuffed with two herby lamb sausages covered with frites and that amazing Andalouse sauce, made with red bell pepper and cayenne pepper, for just enough spice to complement the fries while not overpowering the sausages.

CUSTOM TOPPINGS: Rich’s Burgers & Grub (30 E. Broadway, richsburgersngrub.com) might be serving dry-aged Angus chuck between the buns, but it’s the additional toppings above the patty that make these burgers stand out. Grilled pineapple (Maui BBQ), artichokes, and macaroni and cheese are just a few of the combinations that can be had at this street cart turned brick-andmortar establishment on Sandwich Row. LUNCH BUNCH CONCERT SERIES: Every weekday from May to September, visit Gallivan Plaza (239 S. Main Street, thegallivancenter.com) from noon to 1 p.m. to enjoy free lunchtime performances. Music of every sort—from folk to jazz and rock to acoustic—is featured along with storytelling, line dancing and everything in between. Check the full schedule online, bring your lunch or pick up take-out, and come on over to the Gallivan Center to enjoy the sunshine and love your lunch.
