The Most Scrumptious Sandwiches in the Evansville IN Area

National Hoagie Day Meets Cartoon Fun—And a Tri-State Sandwich Bucket List

Today is a perfect combo kind of day, it’s National Hoagie Day AND National Cartoonist Day so naturally, I had to bring those two worlds together. I also had to take the time to tell you how my “Scooby-Doo Sandwich” was born… you know, the kind that’s stacked sky-high like something Shaggy and Scooby would go after in the Mystery Machine.

Let me tell you how I made the iconic sandwich that people know me for. I take two pieces of sourdough bread. On one piece of bread, you spread Dijon mustard, and on the other half, you spread mayo. Now for the fun part, you layer the meats... We're talking salami, pepperoni, ham, and turkey, then you add the provolone and Colby Jack cheese. You can't forget about the veggies (got to make it healthy, right?) There is a layer of pickles, onion, pepperoncinis, and then my personal favorite add-on, CHIPS! Cool ranch Doritos are great or Lays wavy potato chips work too. However, with being a Hoosier now, I feel like it's only fair to try Grippos the next time I make my Scooby sandwich.

So of course as a sandwich lover and someone still a little new to the Evansville area, I asked you to send in your favorite spots… and, you delivered.

The photos alone? Absolutely drool-worthy. And now my Tri-State sandwich bucket list just keeps getting longer.
