The sandwich, a regressive pleasure that allows us to eat efficiently without derogating from the pleasure of the taste buds.

You still need to have the right addresses in your repertoire to taste a ham and butter worthy of the name or a good pan bagnat.

This is the mission that Laurent Mariotte and his columnists have agreed to fulfill in the program "La Table des bons vivants": find the right address near you. 

The sandwich is one of the most consumed meals in France.

In 2019, the French ate 2.7 billion, compared to 1.6 billion (only) burgers!

Logical, when you know that it allows you to eat easily while enjoying yourself at an affordable price.

A fact accentuated by the closure of restaurants due to the pandemic.

With the absence of dining rooms, the easy way to eat between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m. at work (or teleworking, if you don't want to cook yourself) remains the essential sandwich.

But it is not because we are looking for the simple solution that we must ignore the pleasure of taste, as Laurent Mariotte and his columnists explain in the program

Toulouse

"If you have a desire for the exotic, you will find what you are looking for at El Canaille with its Hispanic version of the famous ham and butter", explains columnist Charlotte Langrand.

A guarantee of quality, the long queue in front of the store, even if you have to be patient.

Lyon

Its reputation is well established, the establishment of La Mère Brazier in Lyon is one of the oldest establishments in the city.

In 2016, the starred chef Mathieu Viannay and Gilles Demange, founder of the world pie-crust championship, decided to open a delicatessen where you can find the restaurant's flagship products, such as natural sourdough bread, but also find the know-how of the house in more accessible dishes such as sandwiches.

A treat for charcuterie lovers.
