It’s hard to walk around the First Hill stretch of Madison and not buy a sandwich–nearly every establishment on the strip has some sort of meat with bread. Added to the mix a couple weeks ago is a new Potbelly sandwich shop, the fifth to arrive in the Seattle area.
Located below the apartments in the Coppins Well building, the newest addition is well-positioned to serve the employees and visitors of Swedish, Virginia Mason, and the Polyclinic. If the line at Jimmy John’s is too long (or you just want your sandwich toasted), cross the street! Life is easy and the cheap sandwiches plentiful along Sandwich Corridor.

Managing Arts Editor, Film & TV Audrey is kinda a big deal. She was Chicago-born and –raised, but doesn't miss the weather one bit (the people and the politics are another story). She spends a great deal of time eating oysters and drinking wine, watching movies and going to shows, reading Videogum and The Awl, and quoting Arrested Development (yes, still). Her favorite stuff on television includes 30 Rock, Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Community, Parks and Rec, and pretty much any VH1/Bravo reality trashvaganza. In terms of movies, she tends to agree with Glenn Kenny. Fun Fact: She always tries to keep on hand at least two pounds of Tillamook extra sharp cheddar cheese. View all posts by Audrey
This is one of the best food reviews ever
Dude, it’s a Potbelly, what do you want? “The mass-produced, faux-artesinal bread perfectly complemented the bland lunchmeat, discount dry oregano, and government cheese. There are several types of sandwiches to choose from, in a very similar fashion to the Subway, Jimmy John’s, and other establishments in the nearby Sandwich Corridor. And a hot sammie is around $5, making it just as light on the billfold as it is on one’s belly.” Maybe when they report on the opening of another fast-food joint they’ll include a more detailed description of the foodstuffs for sale.
Tranquilo, Mister Zippers. I take the words of TroyJMorrissey at face value.
