10. Toasted Garden Caprese
This sandwich features mozzarella, tomatoes, and basil, but overall has a lot more bread than toppings. It tastes like it is missing a key ingredient.
The romaine lettuce is more plentiful than the basil, which adds crunch, but not the flavor combo that you'd expect on a caprese. All in all, it's a pretty plain sandwich.
9. Chicken Bacon Rancher
The flavors on this sandwich work well together, but there just aren't enough of them, and the extra thick focaccia bread overpowers everything.
8. Mediterranean Veggie
This is one of the few vegetarian-friendly sandwiches, and while it has a lot of flavor, it isn't as filling and works better as a side dish.
The veggies include peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onions, adding plenty of crunch to the sandwich. The salty and creamy feta adds Mediterranean flavor to the dish.
7. Toasted Frontega Chicken
The flavors of this sandwich work well together, and there is enough meat for the thick focaccia bread. However, the basil doesn't add much flavor.
Sliced red onions and salt and pepper round out the sandwich. It comes on black pepper focaccia bread, but it’s better with sourdough or even French bread.
6. Chipotle Chicken Avo Melt
The subtle heat of the chipotle aioli in this melt is full of flavor, the peppers add to the spice, and the cheddar cheese balances out the flavors.
