Berkeley Eatery Makes Best Sandwiches List

BERKELEY, CA — Sometimes we treat a sandwich as if we are settling for a meager meal, when the opposite can be true. An amazing sandwich can be an elevated dining experience, both delicious and filling.

The Bay Area News Group recently came up with a list of 10 sandwich spots to try now, including Saul’s Restaurant & Delicatessen in Berkeley.

Saul’s was picked for its "comforting the belly and soul with Jewish grub like liver and onions and pastrami on rye." While the favorites are continuing under new ownership at the 40-year-old restaurant, the reviewer also praised a vegetarian offering, "Saul’s pita sabich ($13.50). It starts with housemade pita that’s not paper-thin but puffy and doughy. The chefs stuff it with discs of fried eggplant and hard-boiled eggs. Onto that goes a potato latke and tabbouleh with fresh parsley and dill, and you dunk it in two sauces – creamy tahini and amba, a tangy-sweet concoction with fenugreek and pickled mango." Saul's Deli is at 1475 Shattuck Ave. in Berkeley.

The East Bay is well represented on the list, snagging six of the 10 slots.
