Maybe it was the recent thread on Yelp about sandwiches that made me hungry. Perhaps it was divine intervention. Whatever the reason, today I finally made it to the Real McCoy Sandwich Shop on the Southside for the first time in my life. I was driving down the entire length on Carson Street searching for lunch ideas and a place to park before I pulled into one of the only free spots right in front of the place.
The woman behind the counter was very friendly. She could tell I was a newbie so she explained a little bit about the most popular sandwiches and her 80 year old grandmother and how they have been in business for many decades at that location.
I went with the Original Real McCoy with everything on it including the incredible zesty relish that they make from scratch. Super fresh soft bun. Loaded with high quality meats and veggies. Served lightning fast. I did not have the willpower or patience to drive it back to the office so I ate in my car (yes, I was hungry). Highly recommended. I will be back.
