The Upper Midwest's top sandwich shops

National Sandwich Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, so there's no better time to head to a local restaurant and enjoy a lunch piled high with all your favorite fillings. These sandwich shops are all winners in their local Best of the Best contests, so you know you can count on them for fresh bread, high-quality toppings and creative sandwiches that always satisfy. Big Apple Bagels Bagels are more than a breakfast food at Big Apple Bagels in Bemidji. If you have a big appetite, opt for a triple-decker with the California Club, which features smoked turkey, havarti cheese, guacamole, cucumber, lettuce, tomato and mayo. City Market City Market, a Rochester Magazine Best Restaurants winner, is a classic deli built for those who need a lunch on the go. The New York Pastrami is a delicious nod to the fast-paced life in the Big Apple, piled with shaved pastrami, City Market coleslaw, Swiss cheese and herbed mayo on rye.
