The setting:
If you didn’t know if was there, you’d never find it. Tucked away inside an office complex next door to Borders near Farragut Square, only a brass plaque hidden in a list directs you to this tasty spot. Look for the line of people waiting at the slowest ATM in the world, and brush past them to go inside and find the Best Sandwich Place.
The service:
You need to know what you’re doing when you go in. Stand by the chips and take a look at the vast menu behind the sandwich-making station. There are also a few listed (including my favorite) on a printed white sheet near where they carve the turkey. Order, then grab your chip and drink, and proceed to pay – be ready: they only take cash. (I would suggest finding another ATM than the one you pass going into the building. Seriously: slowest ever.) Now that I’m a regular, they bring me my sandwich when it’s done, but until you’re established, wait to the side of the payment counter.
The food:
Yummo! I get the turkey artichoke club on sourdough (instead of on a french baguette.) It’s wonderful: the artichoke spread is super-tasty, the Parmesan cheese give it the right amount of salt and kick, and the combination of chicken and freshly carved turkey is great. And the fact that there’s bacon on it doesn’t hurt either 
I typically eat my sandwich with a few Sunchips and wash it down with an Honest Tea, and round the whole thing out with a pickle wedge. It isn’t the cheapest lunch at around $11, but it’s worth it.
Best for: A delicious sandwich to break up the workday.
Worst for: Au Bon Pain die-hards.
