​I've been sampling dozens of sandwiches around Fort Lauderdale the past two weeks and it seems that Lauderdalians like their portions huge.

Take the sandwiches for example. My first fore into Florida Eats Big was on my first day of work when I went with my editors to My Market, where I ordered a po'boy which is so big and messy it comes with a no to-go policy. Whether it's Cajun turkey or roast beef, the sandwich is slathered with gravy and dressed with the standard lettuce, tomato and mayonnaise trio. I hoped that finishing a giant sandwich wasn't the food critic equivalent of pounding shots in a bar.
