Day 69 - My Favorite Sandwich Shop

Jan 20 2012

If there's one thing there's no lack of in Fort Collins it's places to eat. Restaurants come and go but luckily most of the good ones tend to stick around. One of these is Backcountry Provisions, my favorite sandwich shop for several years now. Not only do they have a great menu with some unique sandwiches (curried chicken salad with rice?), they have some of the best potato salad I have ever had in a restaurant. I am something of a potato salad snob and will splurge on Whole Foods' Picnic Potato Salad on occasion even though it's ridiculously expensive (but it is the best supermarket potato salad I have ever had.) The thing that makes Backcountry's potato salad so good is that they make it themselves every couple of days, none of that stuff that comes prepacked in individual servings or in the industrial sized buckets. On occasion they will have a meatball or sausage sub as their daily special and I have to think long and hard about getting that or something more potato salad friendly, I find that tomato sauce and potato salad don't mix that well.

Until tomorrow.

I think I posted a comment on the wrong post. So thanks for sharing your favorite sandwich shop. Those soups sound divine--I am a sucker for a good bowl of soup.

I've actually never tried their soup, too fixated on the potato salad I guess, but I may have to fix that someday.

Though when I'm in the mood for soup I usually go here http://espoons.com/ It's right around the corner from the sandwich shop.
