Is the Most Iconic Sandwich in Idaho One of the Best in America?

One of the most amazing food choices out there — the sandwich. It’s completely customizable to anyone’s liking, so picking “the best one in Idaho” must be an impossible task, right? Wrong. There’s a new list out there from 24/7 Tempo that covers the best sandwiches in each state, and I was really intrigued to learn where I can find the best sandwich in all of Idaho...

They said, “It’s not hard to see what makes sandwiches so popular. Whether hot or cold, sandwiches are usually quick to make and always satisfying. They can make a full dinner, a working lunch, or a fast breakfast as you hurry off to work.”

Definitely true. Sandwiches are just so versatile — everyone can be satisfied with a sandwich. They even go on to say, “Everybody has a favorite sandwich or two, but some have become so strongly identified with particular places that they can be considered iconic.”

This poses the question... what sandwich in Idaho is the most iconic?

Rob S. | Yelp | Bar Gernika

According to 24/7 Tempo’s list... the Basque Lamb at Bar Gernika’s Basque Lamb in Boise is the most iconic sandwich in all of Idaho, and one of the most iconic in the country. They said...

“Idaho is home to one of the largest Basque populations in the country, and the Basque lamb sandwich has risen to iconic status there. It’s similar to a sub, but made with sliced roast lamb, melted cheese, caramelized onions, and jalapeños.”
