The Chef's In's Vegetarian Sandwich

Tastemaker

Aug. 24, 2024

The Chef’s In has been a lunchtime staple in Traverse City for almost 40 years. (And no, “In” with one “n” is not a typo…the chef is in the kitchen, but the chef does not have an inn!) This downtown deli is all about the sammies, with more than 20 options on their “hot” sandwich side and nearly endless options on the build-your-own “cold” side. Our pick is the Vegetarian ($10.99), with mushrooms, cucumber, and tomato all gooey-glued together with swiss and provolone cheeses. And don’t forget the secret ingredient—sunflower seeds! Add on one of their daily soups, take a stroll down the salad bar to complete the meal, or treat yourself with a chocolate chunk cookie. Pop in for lunch at 519 W. Front St. in Traverse City. chefsindeli.com
