It’s arguably hard to top a sandwich as a tasty, inexpensive meal option. Even if you splurge for a foot long, you can typically still get a very filling meal with many food groups represented for not too much money. And Florida has plenty of sandwich choices, from Publix to Jersey Mike’s to Jimmy John’s. But none of these options was recently identified as having “the greatest sandwich in America.” However, the chain that was – Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop – is reportedly opening a new store in Sarasota.
About Capriotti’s Sandwich Shop: Although this chain is relatively new to Florida and some Floridians may not have heard from it (unless they’re coming from other areas of the country,) the chain has actually been around since the mid-1970s. According to the company’s website, two sisters started the company over 50 years ago, but its original values remain – to use fresh rolls and quality meats and cheeses.
They offer a variety of both hot and cold sandwiches in traditional flavors like Italian, meatball, and turkey, plus more upscale choices like Wagyu beef and cheesesteaks.
