We went with a pretty straightforward headline for our look at Portland's game-changing sandwich options: The Elements of Sandwich. It's clear, it gets across what we're talking about, and indulges our secret hope that someone might someday pen a guide to sandwich compendium as thorough and well-regarded as William Strunk Jr. and E. B. White's 1918 American English style guide. 

But that's not to say that there weren't plenty of  headlines that were left behind. Now, we present you, our dear readers, with a list of some of the book-themed options that didn't make it to (panini) press.
