We are in search of Houston's best sandwiches because we love sandwiches and we love Houston!
While the sandwich makers at Central Market don't have quite the personality , what they lack in frivolity, they make up for in incredible sandwich making. And the main reason is not just the quality of ingredients — Central Market is known for some pretty select stuff in general — but the massive selection of them.Want a turkey with roasted red peppers, caramelized onions and feta on a baguette? Gotcha.
My favorite is the Cuban Press, a nod to the classic Cubano, which I love. It comes on CM's signature panini bread, which is dense enough to hold up, but thin so it can be pressed nicely. This includes ham and roast pork, but also salami and Swiss cheese. I add mayo to go with the spicy mustard and pickles for a little creaminess. It's not the best Cubano I've ever eaten, but it is damn close, especially considering I'm in a grocery store when I get it.
