Bad Dog Deli’s Build-Your-Own Sandwich

Tastemaker
Feb. 18, 2023

We love when something is tailor-made for us, so it’s no wonder that Bad Dog Deli is our happy place. While the Old Mission Peninsula hotspot has a rotating menu of daily sandwich and wrap specials, most folks opt to build their own sandwich. Start with your favorite bread—we love the sourdough best—before topping it with Boar’s Head meats (your choice of two), cheese, spreads, and toppings as simple as lettuce and tomato or as upscale as roasted bell peppers and artichokes. We recommend getting the sandwich hot for a buttery, crispy exterior that warms you up on a winter afternoon. Sandwiches are generous in size and in quality of ingredients, and if you opt to add a bag of chips or a brownie, you’re bound to have delicious leftovers for a midnight snack. Create your perfect sammie at 14091 Center Rd. in Traverse City. tcpeninsulagrill.com/bdd, (231) 223-9364
