Afternoon Question — A Good Local Sandwich?

Truthseeker: "I have yet to find a really good sandwich anywhere West of the Mississipi."

More From Truthseeker: "Hudson's is awesome, just that I didn't count a burger as a sandwich. I'm just spoiled by the little neighborhood grocery stores and deli's back East where they cut all the cold cut meats individually for your personal sandwich, grow and cure their own hot peppers, slather their own oil concoction all over it and all the while they're making your sandwich, you get these great down to earth, type conversations. I've tried Valentino's - plain, plain, plain - least to me. I was shocked the first time I ordered an Italian sandwich and they asked if I wanted sprouts - West Coast blasphemy!!! Too many places around here using Oscar Mayer cold cuts, kraft cheese, French's mustard, etc. I can make that sandwich myself."

Question: Truthseeker makes a strong case. Do you agree with him?
