Sure, some folks like to kvetch about shelling out a ten spot for a sandwich when they can get a cheap  ham one at their corner Lee’s, but we say balderdash: if you consider the quality ingredients, painstaking technique and umami-packed flavor you’ll get out of one of these new-wave sammich shops, we say they’re a steal of a meal. Heck, the bread alone on these puppies will fill you up. While we all have to wait a few more weeks until the Flour + Water folks unleash their old world deli Salumeria, for Cheap Eats week, we recommend the following artisan sando shops.
