Best Sandwich 

Mitchell Delicatessen

Not only did the arrival of Mitchell Delicatessen earlier this year help fill the East Side's dearth of under-$10 dining options, it did so in grand style. How many restaurants in Nashville (or the country, for that matter) offer a lamb-with-mint-raita sandwich, a muffuletta and a Vietnamese bánh mì sandwich? All the meats and produce are top-shelf (don't get Scene managing editor Jim Ridley started on the merits of Benton's bacon unless you have an hour to kill), and most importantly, Mitchell Deli pays close attention to the sandwich's oft-neglected key ingredient: the bread. Most creations are served on soft, fluffy ciabatta rolls from Silke's Old World Breads in Clarksville, the perfect vehicle for absorbing condiments and letting flavors sing through. And be sure to check out the breakfast bar, one of the best deals in town, often featuring Benton's oh-so-salty, oh-so-good bacon—assuming Ridley hasn't plundered the day's supply. —JACK SILVERMAN
