My first time in Paris, I ordered what amounts to a grilled cheese sandwich and they charged me 20 euro. 10 years ago. Felt outrageous but I gotta admit it was a pretty good sando and it was my bad for eating at a tourist trap.
The place from my original comment[1] is in San Francisco.
People come from far and wide to have these sandwiches. I’ve seen people in the wild wearing swag from this sandwich place. Calling them sandwiches is almost criminal. Even making it at home you would certainly spend $10 on ingredients. There is no skimping on the meat.
I mean just look at the photos on their homepage. The sandwich is unlike anything I’ve seen in a European bakery. They’re typically 2 meals for me.

- bambax 5y agoThe photos are nice, thanks (however the sandwiches don't look very appetizing to me). That said, if they are so big that they count for 2 meals, then obviously the cost per meal is $10, not $20.
