New Orleans
When it comes to grabbing a sandwich downtown, we're always torn between this spot and Cochon Butcher. St James does possess an advantage on the actual cheese front – this is partly a cheese shop – and you'd be remiss not to try their simple, perfect ham and brie on a baguette.
Other favorites include sinful macaroni and cheese, raclette (melted cheese) with potatoes, and various salads and cold-cut sandwiches that are at the height of culinary craft.
