If you’re serious about winning that gold medal and getting showered in praise,—and the Olympic Committee's complimentary dump truck of jellybeans—don't try to curl against the Swedes on an empty stomach. Today’s Groupon gets you lunch with $8 worth of premier Baltimore sandwich cuisine at Rosina Gourmet for $4. This Groupon is good at Rosina's Canton and Downtown locations.

Rosina's sandwich menu reigns king over the eatery's array of breakfasts, soups, salads, and homemade sauces. Never content to let a sammich be just a sammich, Rosina packs its bread slices with intense flavor and robust local ingredients. Try the honey-orange BBQ chicken (with Swiss and chipotle orange BBQ sauce served on ciabatta bread; $8.49) or the rustic Italian (marrying dry salami, provolone, tomato, red onion, black olive tapenade, and extra virgin olive oil on a baguette; $7.99). For the veggie-minded, there’s the fresh freshness of the grilled vegetable sandwich (with marinated eggplant, zucchini, squash, carrot, red onion, roasted red peppers, and feta with greens and oregano in a mild balsamic vinaigrette; $7.49) as well as a wide spread of garden favorites, and the unexpected white cheddar and Granny Smith apple sandwich (joined by field greens and homemade honey mustard; $6.99).

Bread provides a handy canvas for culinary artwork, as it suits almost any food you put in it (the bread bowl milkshake being a notable exception). Test the most delicious limits of the form with today's Groupon.

Baltimore City Paper, Baltimore Sun, and Baltimore Magazine adore Rosina Gourmet's superb sandwiches:

• The sandwich offerings are extensive, but I chose a relatively straightforward one, fresh mozzarella, tomato and olive oil on ciabatta bread, for $6.99. Since it had so few ingredients, each component of the sandwich had to be fresh and flavorful. They were – Rob Kasper, Baltimore Sun
• ...what's especially inviting is the three different meatless-sandwich options... it's a high-end, exceptionally tasty lunch... – Bret McCabe, Baltimore City Paper

Yelpers give the sandwich shop a solid four stars.

• The ingredients are fresh, the service is fast and friendly, and the prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity that you receive. – Mindy B.
