I consider the BLT sandwich perfection. List will not be exhaustive since a sandwich can be anything, but I will list all I can think of that are common. ---

A BLT is right up there. Althought there is a lot to be said for a perfect grilled cheese. ---

Dammit I skipped over grilled cheese! ---

I really like a well made Club along with a generous portion of fries or potato chips. The Club really isn’t that far a cry from a BLT. ---

Maybe I voted Cuban because it’s been a while since I had a good Cuban. You really have to seek them out in Cleveland. ---

yeah cubans are awesome if made right. You can’t beat a simple ham and swiss on good french bread. ---

I ticked “Gyro”, but I really wanted to tick “Döner kebab”, which is the original form of that kind of sandwich. ---

I was hoping you would have peanut butter and banana, but you didn’t, so I voted for egg salad because that sandwich never gets any love. ---

Lots of tasty choices, but I went with the Club. It’s my go-to sandwich when I’m on the road; I’ll have a side of onion rings, please. ---

Of the sandwiches you listed, it’s really hard to beat a nice french dip. The only downside it that it’s neither very portable nor a good sandwich to make at home on the spur of the moment. You pretty much have to plan a meal around it or go out and buy one. For overall convenience, tastiness and versatility, how can you do better than a hamburger? ---

They’re all good. A [Phillipe’s Beef Dip](http://www.philippes.com/) is heavenly. But then, so is a banh mi from a couple of trucks I know of. On the gripping hand, a pulled pork sandwich from [Lexington #1](http://www.yelp.com/biz/lexington-bbq-1-lexington) comes close to perfection. Luckily, the poll is multiple choice! ---

Reubens and BLTs are the best. ---

From the list, a Reuben. At home I love a fried egg, bacon, and raspberry jam on multi-grain toast. Or a grilled cheese, bacon, and tomato. A burger with dill pickles and thick-sliced raw spanish onion, mayo, mustard, and ketchup. There’s a great Lebanese restaurant (Cedar’s) here in Charlottetown that serves a damn fine 1) beef schwarma, 2) falafel, 3) chicken schwarma. ---

I guess I _can’t_ haz cheezburger… in the poll, at least. I love Ruebens and have had them just about everywhere I’ve seen them on the menu. Meatball subs and pulled pork sammiches are also right up there. ---

Hmm nothing tagged with “turkey” up there, so I had to choose other, as in a turkey sub. ---

> [@John\_DiFool](#): > > Hmm nothing tagged with “turkey” up there, so I had to choose other, as in a turkey sub. Yep, same here: my lunch order is often either a turkey sandwich or a turkey sub. Today I went rogue and got a pepper jack roast beef wrap, but it was an impulse order: before I saw it on the menu I was planning to get a turkey sandwich. ---

The two best: Pastrami on rye in a good New York deli or in a pinch in a place who has some idea what it would be in a good New York deli - none of which seem to exist in the Bay Area. BLT, made with tomatoes from my garden. I don’t even bother having this during the winter. ---

Saul’s Deli in Berkeley? I’ve heard claims of inconsistency in some areas, but I’ve always heard good things about their pastrami and Reubens ( I don’t mess with either - loathe sauerkraut and prefer corned beef to pastrami ).
