The Best Things on Sliced Bread

Biggest challenge here is saving room for dessert! Pastas are killer, brunch sandwiches rock, but sweets (hot choc, ice cream, tarts) a must

Love this spot for craft beer & wine, local artisan foods, a great cafe & of course, cheese! Staff is knowledgeable. Try the grilled cheese!

It'll cost you, but one of Hannah's bretzel (as in, pretzel-bread) sandwiches will stick in your memory. Try the insanely good serrano ham/Manchego cheese creation. Breakfast is tasty too.

This place simply oozes local charm. Sandwiches (esp shrimp salad), local beers, & gourmet groceries (perf for gifts) are the city's best.

Loop lunch go-to for fresh 'wiches (love "Blue Pig & Fig") & salads. Grab picnic supplies-think cheese & wine-b4 a show in Millennium Park.

Absolutely divine. Sandwiches are top-notch. (Varieties rotate seasonally, but make sure to try whatever type of grilled cheese they've got!) Brunch is killer too. Check out the cute back patio.

Super chef Graham Elliot goes casual. Go for the sandwiches (obviously!)--the grilled cheese is the richest of the rich--but don't overlook the tasty salads. And soft serve is a must-try.
