Togo's #16 Italian. With oil, without the Italian dressing:

 

[Pilgarlic]

Make a simple chicken salad of cooled large chunks of parchment baked garlic and pepper seasoned chicken breasts, finely sliced carrot and celery for crunch and real mayonnaise. Mix with fermented vegetables: rutabaga, carrots, garlic, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage and sweet peppers in a ratio of 3 parts chicken salad to 2 parts fermented veggies. Serve on Peter Reinhart's Multigrain Bread Extraordinaire from "The Breadbakers Apprentice". Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

Boy I saw this thread and started salivating after reading everyone's posts!


Commercial Sammy: Belgian Village Inn's : VandeRueben it's the bees knees, fresh made rye bread, the sandwich is served on bread cut perpendicular to how a loaf is normally sliced so its quite large. Pairs nicely with a Belgian beer...they have many, maybe a Duval or Chimay red









Homemade: my wife whips these sliders up, http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/darn-good-ham-and-cheese-sliders/, they are quick, easy, and good down great with a nice IPA or APA. In fact were having some tonight with baked beans and I've got a nice IPA in hand now!




And proof...




Cheers

So, after all the Bahn Mi talk, i had to make my own...

These are fantastic! Such a magical combination of flavors dancing around your flavor pallet. Its sad that it leaves me as i eat it

Half and Half at Kenny and Ziggy's, Houston, TX. Half Turkey, half corned beef, with Russian dressing and coleslaw on rye. Probably 8" high. Eat with a fork. Could not finish in two meals.

I love sandwiches. I can't just pick one so I'll pick 4 different ones of what I'd consider different sandwich styles

1. Cold Cut sandwich on a long roll (aka Hoagie, Sub, grinder, etc.) is the Hogback Hoagie, I like the American best but the Italian and the Hog are also great.

2. Hot stuff on a long roll (chicken parm, meatball sub, etc.) has to be cheesesteak from Lorenzo's Pizza on 9th and Christian in Philly. This place is heaven. It may not be the best cheesesteak i nthe world but it's my favorite. get that with the Pizza fries and they're to die for. Here's a pic of what they look like and it makes me drool

The burger/chicken sandwich/pulled pork/whatever type is something hot and awesome between 2 buns or slices of bread. For me the best I've ever had is from High Street Grill in Mt. Holly NJ. It's an awesome beer bar, but their food is insane. I loved the regular burger, but their Spicy Cajun Burger is way too good to be true.

And last is what I call the breakfast sandwich. The best I've ever had though it's hard to pick up and I eat with a knife and fork anyway is from my girlfriend's parent's restaurant. It's called a panwhich (I've told them the spelling is wrong but heck who knows maybe it will work out fine) basically it's their riff on a McGriddle. You get a meat and egg with options of cheese between 2 pancakes. I can't remember if they pancakes are always plain or you have a choice of other styles but I've only ever gotten mine plain. And I then season mine up with maple spread and habenero maple pepper, this is my sausage, scramble and extra sharp cheddar one

 

[Johnny_Five]

I made this burger a couple of weeks ago. It was based off this video that I used as my inspiration, and it was truly delicious.

 

[Xpertskir]

I love hot dogs and you really cant beat this place http://www.hotdougs.com/specials.htm

They have rotating specials and my favorite was a wild boar sausage with 5 year aged cheddar, sauteed onions, and merlot sauce. Duck fat french fries on fri and sat :rockin:


It's also really difficult to beat a well made cheese steak with white american and onions...nothing else, no peppers, lettuce, mayo or anything else people try to screw them up with.

Edit....

Oh ****. Forgot the Blucy Lucy at the Blue door in the twin cities. Washed down with a furious.

How about a shooter's sandwich?

I'm very partial to Reubans. I had a Reuban soup once -> basically all the ingredients for a Reuban, but in a soup.

I had an awesome muffalatta once at Tony Caputo's Market & Deli in SLC. Had a really bad one at The Bayou, also SLC.

The Bayou one didn't have the olive salad on it, which basically meant it was just a cold salami sandwich.

Glad to hear you know about Bahn mi. It's a mind blowing experience, especially to the uninitiated.

I understand your gut instinct (pun intended) about east coast vs west coast pastrami. Here is my take on the situation having had plenty on both sides of the coast. Yeah, they invented it on the east coast. But the true masters left for the west coast and settled on Fairfax in West LA. Having said that, you wouldn't catch me dead there, as they feel it reasonable to charge $20 for a sandwich that I can consume in a sitting. They are killing the golden goose. Sure, the tourist will drop a $20 for the experience, but you wont catch a local there unless they are showing around out of town family, or celebrating a once a year type thing.

I was going to mention muffalettas in my first post, but felt I was getting wordy already. One type of sandwitch I actually feel is very overrated is a po' boy. I have only ever eaten them in NO (my favorite eating city by far), and I have always been underwhelmed by the dry, breadiness of them. A muffaletta on the other hand, almost always good.

I too, have a strong passion for a good 'witch, and hope to sit across from you at a table somewhere in this great country of ours and dig in. Thanks for the happy thread.

Man you are crazy. The east coast does all things bread related better then any where else in the country. It is not even possible to get a decent loaf of french or italian sandwich bread outside if the north east.

Rueben at Roxy's in NYC.

 

[Gixxer]

I do have a long list of sammies that I like... But one that I crave on a regular basis these days is this... Jalapeno Popper Grilled Cheese with BACON!!! Sure, its not a foot tall, it dont have brisket on it(yet), but its simple and awesome!

 

[bierhaus15]

Favorite sandwich of all time...

Fresh baguette or sandwich roll, manchego cheese, black olive tapenade, roasted red peppers, and the best prosciutto or jamon you can find.

I never get tired of eating this.

That is certainly an interesting one.....I may be trying that one next.

 

[MidTNJasonF]

I am glad to see I am not the first one to list the best sandwich known to man.
If I am in New Orleans for 6 days I will probably eat 4 of them.
Central Grocery Muffuletta gets my vote hands down.

If I had to pick a second place it would have to be:
The Z-Man Sandwich at Oklahoma Joe's BBQ in Kansas City http://www.oklahomajoesbbq.com/

 

[PLOVE]

kornblatts cornbeef and pastrami reuben is pretty freakin awesome.

Not the best sandwich ever, but when I lived in upstate NY I absolutely loved the roast beef subs from Wegman's. I miss Wegman's

 

[MidTNJasonF]

I am going to throw two more out there that I adore.

Commercial: Lenny's Sub Shop Chicken Salad.

Homemade but inspired by one I had at a small Amish grocery locally: Thick Sliced fresh white bread. Fluffy but not so weak it disintegrates. Thin sliced roast turkey with crisp iceberg lettuce and fresh summer thick sliced tomato. Very light spread of mayo and a generous spread of strawberry jalapeno jam are the only condiments. Sounds crazy I know but it lends a sweet and subtle heat to the sandwich. So good, I might have to make one for lunch tomorrow.

Outrageous statement. Still, I applaud your enthusiasm. Eat heartily my friend.

Its an hour long trip and we do it a few times a year:

The Really Reuben at the Third Street Deli in Marietta Ohio.
Third Street Deli
Afterwards we go down to the Marietta Brewery (also great food) and have a couple of their own brews. Raspberry Wheat Ale is my favorite when its in season. Always a growler for the trip home.
Marietta Brewing Company

The "Dough Boy" from Blue Dot donuts in NOLA. I had the Dough boy at the French Quater festival last year. AMAZING! the bun is a donut bar not iced then filled with and Asian pulled pork and Asian slaw. Bun melts away in you mouth when you eat it. Paired with, what else, Abita purple haze or Jockamo IPA.

So, I've bee craving a cheese steak and was ironically just in Philadelphia over the weekend, but wasn't able to get one. But I've been curious about experimenting with it and maybe trying pork instead of beef, then found out that there is a Korean fusion sandwich at a food truck in philly that serves a Bulgogi cheese steak ...

anyone ever been to philly to have one of these?? and/or anyone ever make a pork cheese steak??

I've never made one with pork but it shouldn't be tough. I'd take a butt and shave it. Need something with some fat for a good cheesesteak.

Hook & Ladder from Firehouse Subs.

It's the sandwich equivalent of crack.

No doubt it is good!

 

[BamaProud]

I lived in Oklahoma for a few years and ate the Hobby's Special Italian Special a lot. (Cappocola, Ham, Salami, Provolone Cheese) I still crave that sammich from time to time.

http://www.hobbyshoagies.com/menu

Oh man I just looked them up and I'm really craving one now. I wonder how much it would be to deliver to Tennessee?

...Oh and the best BBQ place and best Chinese place in town was in the same parking lot. This thread is just plain mean!

Togo's #16 Italian. With oil, without the Italian dressing:

I'm 61. What's Rita's number?

 

[harmenbor]

And you guys gonna think I'm crazy but for me, a BLT, cooked outside, while camping out, at sundown, during the springtime. For some reason food always tastes better during a camping trip.

What wrong wid da beer we got?

 

[WoodHokie4]

I made this one up (featured on my wife's blog)...I gotta say, its one of my favorites
