Bread has to hold up without overwhelming the filling, sauces need to add moisture without creating a mess and contrasting textures can turn a simple lunch into something memorable. Delis and cafés throughout Summit County approach that formula from different angles, from substantial hot subs to bakery sandwiches and classic deli combinations. Best of Summit readers have plenty of choices when they want a portable meal that still delivers layers of flavor.
