What's your favorite sandwich?

In My Humble Opinion
1

Alright. We’ve got this restaurant in Boone called Macado’s. I’ve never been there except to drink. All I’d ever had there was the bar peanuts.

So, yesterday I end up going there for lunch w/ my friend. I ordered this sandwich called the Ziegfeld Club…and was blown away.

Three layers of toasted rye bread, corned beef, pastrami, salami, melted meunster, melted swiss, 1000 island dressing, coleslaw, tomato & spicy brown mustard. ::Homer:: MMM…

So anyway, does anyone have a favorite sandwich? Either that, or have you had a transcendent sandwich at a restaurant?

Grill-cheese-'mato!

My current favorite is just pastrami on rye with mustard. The pastrami must be the fatty kind and piled on at least two inches thick. A pickle on the side isn’t bad either.

Many restaurants that serve Kosher food carry such a sandwich.

Joe K, yeah, I’m partial to the pastrami. Always have been, always will be.

5

Cheddar Cheese and Hoummas. Delish!

To elaborate on Pastrami: :smiley:
I’ve actually had a decent one at Jason’s Deli. It’s becoming a rarer breed nowadays, I think, because real pastrami does have quite a bit of fat, and aren’t there some leaner kinds that might be a tad more popular with the general population?

There used to be a great place in the DFW area called Deli-News that had such pastrami. We always used to bring some back with us. Unfortunately, while there still is, to the best of my knowledge, a place called “Deli-News”, its format, so to speak, has been changed to that of largely Russian. Not bad in itself, just terribly different.

I know that Katz’s in Brooklyn has good pastrami. I didn’t know this, unfortunately, at the time I was actually there; I was seven at the time and a little peeved that they only served hamburgers and not cheeseburgers. I learned better later upon eating some we had mail-ordered from there and also had at a similar place also called Katz’s in Austin. Perhaps they’re related?

Sausage and marmalade (no, really).

Or Cheese, tomato and (Branston)pickle - some mysterious alchemy happens when you mix these ingredients - the result is truly more than the sum of its parts.

Cheese and pickle (no tomato)

or cheese, cucumber and salad cream

marmite and lettuce

Uh=oh, somebody mentioned Marmite, the Godwin of food.

There’s a Jewish-style deli here in Baltimore called Attmans. They’ve really gone downhill since I was a little girl but when they were on their game, the Seymour Special was the way to go.

It’s (if I recall correctly) a triple-decker (on rye) with roasted turkey, corn beef, pastrami, swiss and chopped liver. Now that was good eats.

Penut butter (chunky, of course)
Mozzeralla cheese

Hey! – it tastes great and is guaranteed to give you a nice quick heart attack one day. :slight_smile:

Smoked Turkey and melted muenster on a lightly buttered toasted onion roll.

14

Rare roast beef with swiss cheese and sauteed onions. Or real Montreal smoked meat (same thing as pastrami?).
Also wondersammich

15

Jif peanut butter - bananna slices - Miracle Whip mayonaisse

on white bread (Wonderbread if you have it)

::sigh::

Damn, Now I’m hungry!

16

Egg mayonnaise , bacon and spring onions, a little lettuce for crunch, plenty of salt and pepper, on soft brown rolls.

Yummy in my tummy.

17

Hard salami on toasted white bread, little bit of mayo, and swiss cheese.

Another pastrami lover checking in.

I like mine on dutch dill rye - grilled on the outside only, with tomatos, provolone or swiss, (or both), and a fried egg.

I don’t eat mayo, but I do use it on the bread (instead of butter) when I grill it. It grills so much nicer.

I have apparently fallen in love with pork sandwiches. I’ve always loved the pulled pork BBQ sammich, but lately I have added two new passions, both from restaurants in the Twin Cities.

  1. #5 Sandwich, Saigon Cafe, St. Paul
    It’s a freshly-baked baguette stuffed with Vietnamese-style BBQ pork (very high-quality, no fat or gristle or skin), julienned carrots, onions, fresh jalapenos, cilantro, and a touch of mayonaise. 'Tis bliss. AND it only costs $2.00.

  2. El Cubano, The Muddy Pig, St. Paul
    Toasted ciabatta piled high with pulled pork (no sauce), ham (which I ask be left off), homemade pickles, melted Provalone, mustard and orange vinaigrette. MMMMMM!

At home, nothing beats cream cheese and sweet jalapeno & pepper jelly. Yum.

The CapeCodder from The Parting Glass: egg batter dipped bread, turkey, melted Swiss cheese, and cranberry mayonnaise. Yum.
