Four weeks ago, azbigmedia.com set out on a mission to crown the Best Sandwich in Arizona with our inaugural Road to the Final Fork competition. There were hundreds of sandwiches submitted, and we narrowed it down to 16 of the best sandwiches from across the state. Arizona foodies have voted in this head-to-head, tournament-style competition for four weeks via Twitter polls to determine the champion. So, without further ado, the Best Sandwich in Arizona is the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich from Belle’s Nashville Kitchen. Congratulations for creating a culinary masterpiece that is appreciated by the great people of State 48!
