While they may not be deemed to have been all that worthy by professional restaurant critics or know-it-all blogging foodies, my all-time five favorite Sandwiches from Richmond restaurants that no longer exist are:
- The original Commercial Café’s barbeque, as served on N. Robinson St. from about the early-80s to the late-80s.
- The Clover Room’s club sandwich, as served on W. Broad St. from sometime in the late-50s to the late-70s.
- Grace Place’s open-faced muenster/tomato/sprouts sandwich, as served on W. Grace St. approximately from the late-70s to the early-90s.
- Texas-Wisconsin Border Cafe’s soft-shell crab sandwich, as served on W. Main St. approximately from the mid-80s to the mid-90s.
- The original Village Restaurant’s submarine sandwich, as served on W. Grace St. from the late-60s to about 1980 (when the Fleck brothers bought it).
