If you have never had a Little Lucca sandwich, you have never had a sandwich.
Let's start with the bread. Sure, there are many varieties you can choose from when you visit the tiny restaurant, but really there is only one: Dutch crunch. Never heard of it? Words cannot accurately describe the unique texture and flavor of this amazing bread. It has a crunchy, egg-like exterior and a soft, flavorful center.
Next, the meats and cheeses. Only the best, all shaved fresh.
Then there's the hot sauce. A blend of peperoncini, jalapenos, and who knows what else. Just spicy enough without being too hot.
Consider the portions. I'm a big guy with a big appetite, and I can rarely finish the whole thing.
And the pièce de résistance - the garlic sauce. A mix of Italian parsley, garlic, olive oil and some mysterious ingredients I can't replicate. Ambrosia.
So the next time you're in San Francisco, do yourself a favor and make the short drive to South San Francisco and experience the greatest sandwich on earth, bar none. WARNING: You will hate Subway for life.
