replying to u/DashingDrake: Yep, the Duzan chicken or lamb/beef shawarma pita is probably my top sandwich, even if the price seems to keep ticking up a dollar every few months.
“One of the biggest whiffs on the list, imo”

replying to u/thansal: Nice that it's all 3 of them who effectively wrote the list. I've only been to Carnitas Ramirez (my favorite new to me restaurant of 2024) and Hamburger America (eh? I like it, but not really amazing). I've walked by Spice Brothers a few times and have been tempted (but there's so much good food around there).
