On Friday, why not treat yourself to lunch out in the world, or commune with coworkers over delivery?
Each of these four sandwiches hinges on the meat or cheese that pulls it all together, along with the bread that's best for the job. To spice things up—or to add a burst of color or crunch—we've included finishing touches that can pull double-duty at dinnertime.
