From petite cucumber sandwiches<\/a> at afternoon tea to decadent club sandwiches<\/a> at your favorite neighborhood diner, they're easy to make, easy to eat, endlessly customizable and all around comforting.\r\n\r\nIt's not just us, though. Comedian Tina Fey is also well-known for her penchant for sandwiches. From the famous \"Sandwich Day\" episode of her show 30 Rock<\/em> to having a sandwich named after her Liz Lemon character, the iconic Saturday Night Live<\/em> alum knows a thing or two about all the things you can put between two slices of bread.\r\n\r\nIt turns out Tina has some strong opinions about which sandwich chains reign supreme too.\r\n

What does Tina Fey eat for lunch?<\/h2>\r\nAccording to a past interview<\/a>, Tina prefers the sandwich chain Jimmy John's over Potbelly, and it was once her go-to lunch order. Given that Tina got her comedy start in Chicago as part of the Second City improv troupe, it was a surprising choice that she chose Jimmy John's over the Windy City favorite.\r\n\r\n\"I like Jimmy John's better than Potbelly's,\" Tina said. \"Take that Chicago. I just sent a ripple through the Chicago sandwich community.\"\r\n\r\nAs for what exactly Tina orders from her favorite sandwich chain, the jury is still out, but if life imitates art, we've got to guess she is probably most drawn to a turkey sandwich topped with pastrami, Swiss and potato chips\u2014the key ingredients of the Reuben-like<\/a> Liz Lemon sandwich from 30 Rock<\/em> which the internet has been trying to expertly recreate<\/a> for more than 15 years now.\r\n\r\nAnother possible candidate for Tina's favorite sandwich is a roast beef sandwich<\/a> topped with mozzarella cheese and roasted red peppers from Fiore's House of Quality<\/a>, a sandwich shop in Hoboken, New Jersey. The sandwich is said to have inspired the sandwich that Tina's Liz Lemon famously noshes on at the airport security line in 30 Rock<\/em>'s \"Sandwich Day\" episode.\r\n\r\nEither way, we're not about to argue with comedy royalty. We'll take one of each, please. We can<\/em> have it all<\/a>, after all!\r\n\r\nRelated:\r\n
