Hungry much? I know I certainly am. We were at work today talking about sandwiches and I realized that I am not a big sandwich person. When it comes to a sandwich, it’s really only chicken sandwiches that I like. Not sure why, but when it comes to cold sandwiches just stresses me out a bit. One sandwich is the one that many people really enjoy and it’s a BLT sandwich. So many people I know LOVE  good BLT sandwiches and I never understood exactly why.

Taste Atlas named their greatest BLT sandwiches in the world and guess who made the list? Well, South Carolina has two restaurants serving up some of the best BLT sandwiches in the world. Coming in at both #2 and #9 are two different restaurants in South Carolina that many know and love. Their BLTs are must-try sandwiches and will allow you to really indulge in a BLT if you’re a fan of them.

First is Ted’s Butcherblock coming in as the #2 best BLT sandwich in the world. This sandwich shop is located in Charleston, South Carolina, and has a very famous BLT sandwich. Their Bacon of the Month BLT is your perfect taste tester for a BLT. Each month, a specialty bacon is used to build up this treat. This month, enjoy Broadbent Smokehouse Maplewood bacon, tomato, spring mix, and garlic aioli on a ciabatta roll. Whew, how does that sound? Next up is the #9 spot located in Hilton Head, South Carolina. A Lowcountry Backyard Restaurant in Hilton Head is serving up a Charleston Fried Green Tomato BLT. Enjoy fried South Carolina green tomatoes on grilled flatbread with romaine lettuce, Applewood bacon, ad a homemade ranch dressing. You can also add pimento cheese if you’re feeling spicy.

If you’re a fan of BLT sandwiches then you may want to check out a few spots in the South Carolina area. Whether you are in Charleston or Hilton Head, you have a few places that would be great to test out soon. I know next time I go home to Charleston, I might have to make a pit stop.

Are you a fan of a chicken sandwich? For the longest, I never understand the hype over a chicken sandwich honestly. Then I had a really good one and now I completely understand.

From grilled chicken to fried chicken and more, the chicken sandwich is a go-to.

It’s something about the Carolinas and our cooking that just keeps us at the top of the chain sometimes. From cities in South Carolina like Charleston and Hilton Head to North Carolina cities like Charlotte or Raleigh, plenty of food spots to give a try. So, if you’re a chicken sandwich lover this list might be the place for you. Check out some of the best chicken sandwiches in the WORLD and start planning your foodie tour.

  • 10. The Commodore - New York City, NY

    I have never been to New York, but them making this list is not surprising. New York is one of the culinary capitals of the world with plenty of food options for you to try. The Commodore is a spot in Brooklyn serving up some tasty chicken options. Their chicken sandwich looks to die for! You can get a hot breast sandwich, mild breast, or grilled chicken club. You can even switch it up and do a chicken biscuit for breakfast. Whew, talk about some great options!

  • 9. Honey Butter Fried Chicken - Chicago, IL

    The fact that I am seeing this after visiting Chicago earlier this year makes me want to return ASAP. Honey Butter Fried Chicken located in Chicago and seeing their name lets you know that they must have some great chicken options. Sandwich options include: the original fried chicken sandwich, honey butter fried chicken sandwich, honey buffalo chicken sandwich, and the bubbe fried chicken sandwich. Seriously, how many variations do you need? But we are not mad about this one.

  • 8. The Bird SF - San Francisco, CA

    Here comes California entering the conversation now. The Bird located in San Francisco has multiple other locations, but they have some great chicken sandwich options as well. Their fried chicken sandwich option comes classic or spicy and served with celery, house made apple slaw, mayo, and pickles on a fresh baked bun. Sounds about classic and perfect to me, right?

  • 7. Zunzi's - Savannah, GA

    Savannah, Georgia is certainly one of the best spots when it comes to food. I have gone frequently and love their food options. The seafood is top tier, but I guess I may need to check into the chicken sandwich next time I go. Zunzi’s is serving up one of the best in the world. They have multiple chicken sandwich options and would be your go to when you’re there. Loaded with tons of toppings and on a french bread, you will probably need a nap after that.

  • 6. Astro Doughnuts - Washington D.C.

    Astro Doughnuts is serving up the best chicken sandwich. It kinda sounds weird when you say it, especially when you would think it is a doughnut spot, right? Well, they have more than what you think they have doughnuts and fried chicken. With their chicken sandwiches you get to pick your bun flavor, sauce, and extra add ons like pickles, honey butter, cheese, eggs, etc. Whether you want a bun or a doughnut, isn’t that crazy?

  • 5. Boxcar Betty's - Charleston, SC

    Here we go with South Carolina. Charleston is always the go to when it comes to food and here we are at Boxcar Betty’s. They also have a location in Charlotte, located in Optimist Hall. Their famous fried chicken sandwiches are a go to for everyone. Pick between fried chicken or grilled chicken on each style. After that, you have plenty of options with their styles from toppings that include pimento cheese, spicy mayo, house pickles, blue cheese sauce, and more.

  • 4. Birdies - Los Angeles, CA

    Yeah, Los Angeles of course is going to be on this list. Birdies in LA is home to one of the best chicken sandwiches in the world. Located in Downtown LA, what better way to explore Downtown than enjoying some bomb food? Serving up fried chicken, doughnuts, and coffee. That’s some great options for food if you ask me.

  • 3. Leon's Oyster Shop - Charleston, SC

    Again, Charleston takes the cake for some great food. Leon’s Oyster Shop is serving up great fried chicken and oysters to all of Charleston. Their sandwich options include the chicken sandwich, catfish sandwich, grilled fish sandwich, shrimp roll, and oyster roll. I know we’re talking about chicken sandwiches, but you have plenty of options when you check this one out.

    When in Aspen, check out some fried chicken sandwiches right? White House Tavern is serving up some great chicken sandwich options for you. Their crispy chicken sandwich comes with house made torta, swiss, tomato, and spicy slaw. Sounds like an original, but I can tell their chicken has got some great flavor to it as well.
