Texans Agree: This Is the King of All Sandwiches

Man, I love sandwiches. I typically eat one for lunch a couple of times a week. Sometimes I’ll hit up one of my favorite sandwich shops or pick up a “grab and go” sandwich from the grocery store. But most of the time, I’ll slap some deli meat between a couple of slices of bread and call it good. 

However, if I really want to spoil myself, I’ll go to the barbecue joint down the road from the radio station and get a barbecue sandwich. While you can’t go wrong with a smoked turkey or ham sandwich, brisket is the king of all meats here in Texas. And when it comes to brisket sandwiches, I’m easy. I’ll take it either chopped or sliced; it’s all good to me.

So, I wasn’t the least bit surprised when I saw that the brisket sandwich was found to be the most popular sandwich among Texans in a study conducted by Coventry Direct. And if I were betting money, I would bet that it wasn’t even close. 

Speaking of brisket sandwiches, just last year, I wrote about Far & Wide’s pick for the best sandwich in Texas, and sure enough, it was the brisket sandwich from La Barbecue in Austin. And let me tell you, there are still many places I need to try in our state capital, but after taking one look at that brisket sandwich, that bad boy immediately jumped to the top of the list.
