Blue Willy’s Barbecue

Blue Willy’s Barbecue is a one-of-a-kind sandwich place, featuring a thick-cut, sky-high sandwich served on a signature onion bun, or plain if preferred, with Blue Willy’s signature coleslaw.

LaSpada’s Original Hoagies
2645 S University Drive
Davie, FL 33328
Fort Lauderdale’s “by the sea” sandwich shop started in Chester, Pennsylvania where the “Original Hoagies” were born. The Hoagie is made with fresh-baked rolls, decorated in mayo and mustard — olive oil and vinegar for the Italian style sandwich — top-quality deli meat, a handful of fresh lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions, sweet hot peppers and cold cuts, all attentively tucked inside of the roll. Today, the Italian style, better known as “The Monster,” which costs $11.70, is the most popular sandwich. It contains a meaty combo of ham, turkey, cheese and roast beef organized into a flawless hoagie only LaSpada’s could create.
My Market & Deli

A gas station convenience store is the first place you’ll think to go when you’re equal parts hungry and thirsty. Think about it, convenience stores are crowded with dozens of random items for sale.

You can only find that at My Market & Deli, where the most popular sandwich is the Italian, packed with almost anything you desire. This sandwich costs $7.99-$13.99.

You can find a legendary pulled pork sandwich at Georgia Pig Barbe. Even though this Southern joint is all about barbecue, the Georgia Pig also serves breakfast and numerous lunch options. Their famous pulled pork sandwich, drenched in famous house Georgia-styled sauce, is worth the visit and most definitely worth $5.75.
Bravo Gourmet Sandwich
