Everyone loves a good sandwich. Here are 46 – to commemorate the 46th Super Bowl coming to Indianapolis – that we know you will enjoy. And we’re not the only ones: many of these have been featured in Gourmet magazine or on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-ins and Dives not to mention favorites of locals and visitors alike, such as the iconic Ruben at Shapiros in Indianapolis and Carmel, tenderloins, burgers and a few surprises around the state.
We released the full list of 46 sandwiches at the beginning of January. You voted on your favorite sandwiches from all 46. Then for the past three weeks, you’ve been voting through the Wildcard, Divisional, Conference and now Super Bowl rounds of Indiana’s Super 46 Sandwiches Playoffs. Voting has officially ended, and we have a winner!
Congratulations to:
The Bratwurst | Schnitzelbank (Jasper)
See the Glockenspiel tower and feel at home in the dark Bavarianesque bar in this town founded by German immigrants. Order the bratwurst for two seasoned pork links with zesty mustard on fresh rye bread, with sides of house made German Fries and coleslaw. Add a Hacker-Pshorr Weisse Bier from the tap, and visit the salad bar for famous turnip kraut, herring, homemade soups, and bread with apple butter. Check out the beer steins on your way out.
