Since opening Bunk in 2008, chef Tommy Habetz has helped establish Portland as a prominent sandwich city, known for its diverse and creative sandwich offerings. While it lacks a single signature sandwich, the city boasts various styles, including Korean barbecue hoagies and vegan interpretations. Notable mentions include Habetzâs meatball parmigiano, a perfect blend of flavors in a well-prepared roll, and Melissa 'Mel' McMillanâs Italian beef, which showcases Windy City flavors complemented by local twists. These examples highlight Portland's innovative take on traditional sandwiches.
Since chef Tommy Habetz left high-profile restaurant kitchens behind to open Bunk in 2008, Portland has been a nationally significant sandwich city.
It makes sense that his meatball parmigiano would serve as an exemplar of the dish: A pillowy hoagie roll gets just the right amount of toast to act as a protective seal.
Long before The Bear brought the Chicago Italian beef to the forefront of the national sandwich conversation, Melissa 'Mel' McMillan was providing Windy City realness in the Rose City.
Go even further and add some provolone for something between a French dip and an Italian beef.
