Toast

There have been tons of gourmet sandwich shops popping up in the area over the past few years.  The most delicious and well known, would definitely be Sandwich in Chapel Hill and Neal’s of Carrboro.  Now Durham can lay claim to its own, Toast.  A great Italian sandwich shop, where authentic paninis and tramezzini’s are served with crostini, bruschetta, soups and salads.  All of their sandwiches are made with local farm raised ingredients or flown in directly from Italy. 

On my first trip to this fabulous sandwich shop, I had a tasty cured salmon tramezzini, served with watercress, pickled red onion and lemon aioli.  All of the sandwiches are six dollars, which is the thing that sets Toast apart from its Chapel Hill and Carrboro counterparts, where some sandwiches can be more than twice that amount. 

Toast is a great place for lunch, dinner or just an afternoon with a bottle of wine and a nice snack.
