First, you have Plano's Big Easy New Orleans Style Sandwich. It offers a variety of Cajun-style sandwiches like fried crawfish, barbeque oysters, muffelettas, and a meatball poboy. If you decide to stop by this place, then let us suggest trying the B.O.L.T. -- that would bacon, oysters, lettuce, and tomatoes.
Sure, when you stop by Jimmy's Food Store you have Italian meats and imported cheeses on the brain. Why not walk to the back and take a look at their sandwich menu featuring over 10 different Italian-style sandwiches. Our favorite is the Italian Stallion- a 6 or 12 inch (depending on how hungry you are) sandwich made up of mortadella, capicola, sopressata, pepperoni, provolone, porketta, coppa, mozzarella and prosciutto.
And if don't feel like leaving the office or comfort of your home, you can choose the delivery option. Jimmy John's that has a wide delivery selection, including the J.J. Gargantuan, invented by Jimmy John's brother Huey. The Gargantuan concoction is Genoa salami, smoked ham, capicola, roast beef, turkey, provolone, onions, mayo, lettuce, tomato, and homemade Italian dressing on a French bun. Or you could go the P.D. Johnson's Dog Day Deli route and have any hot, cold, basic, or meatless sandwich delivered your way.
We realize they're tons of restaurants that offer a good bread, meat, and cheese combo; so feel free to leave suggestions in the comment box.
