Key West wasn’t the first spot we thought of for a ‘wich-hunt, but when the opportunity to go in February presented itself, we threw on our Tommy Bahamas and happily sailed to Margaritaville. If you haven’t been, Key West is a very odd place. Stray cats, wild roosters, beers for breakfast, retirees, parrotheads, cruise people, drag queens, bar musicians, buskers, key lime, history, Hemingway, and architecture all packed in to a 4x2 mile island. Definitely look forward to going back—there’s really no other place like it! The sandwiches aren’t bad either.

Pastoral isn’t cheap, but the quality justifies the price. They also charge weird denominations for their sandwiches, like $9.57, $10.02, $8.66 which reaffirms that it’s all accurately priced, right down to the penny. They have about 15 sandwiches that are all pretty outstanding, but the Blue Pig N’ Fig, is probably one of their most popular, and one of our favorites.
