Happy Saturday! We did something for the first time today. We went on Open Houses to see what homes (condos or townhouses) are within our price range and those way beyond. The whole exercise felt depressing and made me feel poor. As always, to make me feel better, we grabbed lunch. We decided to try Big Star Sandwich, which is a BC-born chain. The menu and choices are extensive, with over 30 sandwiches!
I chose the Turkey Day (sandwich #01) because it's the first sandwich on the list. With that many choices, going by chronological order seemed like a good idea. It was a delicious sandwich with slices of turkey deli meat and cranberry sauce. It's like Thanksgiving between bread.

Meanwhile, hubby went for The OG (sandwich #04) because of the name. He wanted to try sandwiches with the word "Big" but The OG seemed like the best place to start, and boy was he right. It was delicious and the better one of the two sandwiches we tried. The Hickory sticks provided crunch while the lettuce and tomato added freshness. Of course, we shouldn't forget about the tender roast beef and crispy bacon.

II wonder if I should do some ranking of the many sandwiches. Possibly, the next time we visit we choose #04 as the winner of the head-to-head and choose a different sandwich to compare it with and see which one would remain standing.

Oh, and I almost forgot that we also ordered their homestyle potato salad and tomato & roasted pepper soup. They are both good too, but the sandwich is delicious. I can't wait to come back and try the others. In this head-to-head battle of sandwich #01 Turkey Day vs. sandwich #04 The OG, the latter won!
