Yeah, as good as the sandwiches look, it seems like the most useful food is the food that provides temporary buffs, such as Barbacoa wraps (which provide damage resistance for 10 minutes), or Boom Pop! Dynamite (reload speed and movement speed up briefly).

Basically, it feels like the best food in the game can act like a cheaper and (perhaps) non-addictive alternative to chems (although if alcohol addiction is possible in the game, I wouldn’t be shocked)
