The best D.C. sandwich shop bracket was neck and neck — until the end.
- Chef Jon Taub's hoagie shop Bub and Pop's, a family-owned favorite for over a decade, crushed Call Your Mother Deli with 80% of the votes.
It's a good day to celebrate with a cheesesteak or stuffed Italian sub, or drown your sorrows in a CYM Sun City.
State of play: Hundreds of readers narrowed down the list — a highly competitive bread-on-bread race.
Between the lines: We curated the list in a few ways because there are too many tasty options otherwise.
- The shops are all in D.C. proper (though we love every banh mi around Eden Center). They serve lunchtime sandwiches, though some make a mean breakfast. And they're all sandwich places vs. restaurants with good sandwiches (still love ya, I Egg You!).
