Enjoy a gourmet Italian sandwich at Heroic Italian. Photo courtesy of Heroic Italian.It’s time to pick your favorite to-go fare because summer picnic season is in full swing. Forego the fancy feasts and fill your hands with sandwiches built by some of the Bay Area’s most beloved delis and casual lunch shops near BART. Sometimes piling it on thick can be a really good thing—especially when it happens in between two pieces of bread. Hot, cold, meat-filled, or vegan, tasty (and often towering) sandwiches will stir up envy from those around you weighed down by utensils.
