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? ---

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. ---

_To elaborate on Pastrami: 😃_ 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. ---

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. ---

Rare roast beef with swiss cheese and sauteed onions. Or real Montreal smoked meat (same thing as pastrami?). Also [wondersammich](http://http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=122555&highlight=sammich) ---

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. ---
