Especially on a sunny day in San Francisco, there is nothing better than a Vietnamese sandwich. I head over to Irving Deli for my combination sandwich ($3.50) and hip hop over to Golden Gate Park.

With crunchy bread, the pate displays a creamy texture. The cucumbers and carrots add crunch while the splash of fish sauce adds citrus notes. Cured ham adds a savory kick that rounds out the bite.

In a recent article in New York Times, a few chefs have created Vietnamese sandwiches that are creative, with fusion flair. This includes adding polish sausage and serving Sloppy Joe. Especially in this economy, sandwich shops will experience an increase business.
