After posting a top-five national sandwich list, the comments section demanded one addition: Mitchell's Deli in Nashville. The creator went to check it out and came back ready to update the list.

The Turkey Avocado

The turkey avocado features braised turkey, bacon, cheddar, sprouts, avocado, tomato, and mayo on a whole wheat roll. A stacked sandwich with a good balance of textures.

The Italian

The Italian goes heavier: spicy capicola, prosciutto, sopressata, ham, provolone, Swiss, vinegar, oil, and homemade giardiniera with lettuce and tomato. The giardiniera is the standout, adding a pickled heat that ties the whole sandwich together.

The Verdict

The creator admits he was wrong to leave Mitchell's off the original list. The comments were right. This place is the real deal, and it belongs in the conversation alongside any nationally ranked sandwich shop. One side note: parking there is terrible.
