The one to order

The collard green melt: collards, Swiss, coleslaw, pickled cherry peppers and Russian dressing on griddled rye

The line to expect: A line before noon; it's lunch only and closed Tuesdays.

Mason Hereford's sandwich shop, named Bon Appétit's best new restaurant in America in 2017; the meatless melt is the one everyone orders.

The cheese toastie (Kappacasein style)

The cheese toastie (Kappacasein style)

15 min · 2 toasties. London's market toastie: three cheeses and sweet, soft onion and leek pressed into sourdough until the cheese leaks out and fries crisp at the edges. The same pressed-sandwich idea runs from Montreal's Wilensky Special to New Orleans' collard green melt.
