One of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had was on the island of Oahu in this tiny sandwich shop on the North Shore. I was only 16 or so at the time but it was definitely memorable. What I loved about it was the freshness of the sandwich. When a sandwich is so fresh you feel like you don’t even need any meat to bring out extra flavor, that’s how you know it’s really fresh.

This green goddess sandwich is full of flavor - one of the best parts is the unique sauce. You’ll definitely want to be spreading that sauce on everything. A simple and yet fresh sandwich that’s perfect for any quick lunch time meal! We packed ours up for our covid-friendly picnic and it was the perfect amount of food to satisfy our hunger!
