Layers Sandwich Co.

There are lots of great sandwiches around town, but not too many fancy sandwiches around town. At Layers, the sandwiches take themselves seriously—kind of like that one friend of yours who has a handlebar mustache. You'll find barbecue potato chips smushed onto tuna salad, mortadella on a dutch crunch roll, and duck confit buddying up with fried eggs. On the side, things are just as serious, like green goddess-drenched fried fingerlings that momentarily steal the spotlight from the between-bread stuff. It doesn’t get much better than a lazy weekday lunch at this busy Green Lake counter. Just don't forget a slice of griddled banana bread on your way out.
