San Diego Sandwich - Phil's BBQ

San Diego is credited as the birthplace of the tri-tip sandwich. If you want to try a famous one, the amusement park-sized line at Phil's BBQ should be a good indication of its popularity. As the name of the restuarant probably suggests, their specialty is covered in bar-be-que sauce and accompanied by a roll of paper towels.
