1. Hot crab with melted cheddar on sourdough baguette: Buck's most popular sandwich, with good reason. Try it!
Nice list! :) I do like Buck's but I also love the pies from the bakery next door. If you haven't tried them, you should. Plus Roberts across the street often has yummy stuff, even if it's just provolone, prosciutto, and a great baguette to go!
ReplyDeleteYou're right, it's nice that the bakery and deli are both so close to Buck's. Have you tried the Godfather sandwich at Roberts' Market?
