Thanksgiving sandwich battle royale

In the last week Doug and Kelly have both mentioned going to Jetties for sandwiches since it is close to the hospital. We went today and after two days of Thanksgiving sandwiches, I am pretty pleased with both.

Ingredients - both do turkey, stuffing, and cranberry. Jetties adds mayo, whereas Wagshals adds a little bit of gravy. Wagshals serves with French bread, Jetties on white.

At Jetties there is a side counter with ice cream. True to its roots, at Wagshals there is a counter where you can get a cow butchered any way you want it...or gelato.

The turkey at Jetties is outstanding - definitely the best part of the sandwich. They also have a slightly better setting with nice picnic tables outside [We have gone to the old Wagshals on Mass several times in the last week, but it wasn't until we went to the new one on New Mexico Ave that I saw their Thanksgiving sandwich - not sure if it is available at both locations].

The turkey at Wagshals was good, but not on Jetties' level. However, Wagshals  wins because of the superior combination of gravy plus a crusty baguette. While you don't associate French bread with Thanksgiving, it really absorbs the gravy while maintaining a good crust and makes the sandwich. Jetties bread was ok, but not great, and gravy > mayo (many times over).
