Top Sandwiches in the World

I visited NYC in 2006 and went to the Carnegie Deli and had their
Reuben. It was open faced, and cost about 20 bucks, but it had at
least a pound of corned beef on top. I am a big eater, but I ate
maybe 2/3 of the sandwich. A buddy of mine I was dining with was a
vegetarian and ordered a cheese sandwich, and got a couple different
types of cheese on it; his sandwich had about 3 inches of sliced
cheeses stacked on it. The Carnegie Deli is the best sandwich shop in
America.

The second best Reuben I have ever eaten is at Shapiro's Deli in
downtown Indianapolis.

I'm surprised a Fried Fish Sandwich wasn't mentioned. My candidate
for best Fish sandwich in America is the Oyster House in Downtown
Pittsburgh; it's a simple piece of fried fish on a bun with no lettuce
or tomato, but the piece of fish is so large it overlaps the bun for
at least an inch in every direction, and they use those large
hamburger rolls. And if you're very lucky occasionally they will put
two pieces of fish on the sandwich. I was in Pittsburgh last summer
and ate there and it hadn't changed over the years.

Chicken fried steak sandwich, how could I forget that, it is one of my
favorites. Tomato sandwiches are popular down here. I remember walking
through the garden with my grandfather, we would pick tomatoes off the
vine and eat them. Good memories.

> American only?

Never had, but would like to try. I like the rolls, though :)


Never had, but would like to try. If I ever get up to Maine :)


Okay.


Sorry, I don't like salami.


Oyster, shrimp, what?


It's funny but not all that fantastic.


Ah! There's a sandwich I adore!! Only had it twice in my life but OMG it
was fantastic.


Subway? You know you can make the same things at home for half the price :)
Before my father died he wanted a meatball sub sandwich. He wouldn't be
happy until he had one. Subway was closed (it was 9AM) so I drove my
parents to the local grocery store, parked the car, ran in and got a bag of
frozen meatballs, a jar of red gravy, mozzarella cheese slices and some
hogie buns. Mom couldn't keep him in the car (he had altzheimers) but I
convinced him to go back out with us. And when I got home I made him
meatball subs. Easy peasy. He ate, he was happy.


That's just greedy ;)

Perfect use of hamburger and tomato sauce on hamburger buns!

I forgot about Subway. Their bread sucks, and their cold cuts suck.
Their roast beef subs don't have enough roast beef on them. They
don't have enough cheese on them. You can add cheese, but since it's
not flavourful in the first place, why bother. The stuff is edible
after a few beers. Otherwise, I don't think so.
 
Here in California, tortas have become popular. They are a Mexican roll
which is heated and has a filling of all the usual meat fillings as
tacos plus some mayo, avocado, and veggie garnish. I prefer pork al
pastor or carnitas. Done right, they are world class.

I had one once. According to my lunch buddy (who has eaten the "real
thing"), it was *exactly* like you'd get back East. I didn't like the
bun, too hot dog bun-like for me... but the lobster itself was
something you'd expect as your first meal in heaven.

They are best dipped in chocolate. If you notice, everything comes back

Cool!! I don't really have a lot of sunny space to put in vegetables
but the idea of having a garden like that is something I think I'd
like. 1/3 is a *lot* of garden, even with you all chipping in for the work.
Even if you weren't working all week.

I have to go look up what you said about the corn.

Yesterday we went to a deli for a corned beef sandwich. One
sandwich is 3 or 4 servings, they just bring you take home foil and
a bag without asking. I think the owner used to work at Carnegie.
Yeah, it's $16 or so (it's not in NYC) but dang, you get your money's
worth. It even comes with a pickle bar, all the health salad and
pickles you can eat, plus extra rye.

If one person ate one of their sandwiches, they would be in a
world of hurt. It's just too much food. And I love it.

Bologna, Turkey, Subway, Denny's, unspecified "Cold cuts"...

C'mon people. We're supposed to be talking World Class, goremay
sandwiches here. Think outside your Superman lunchbox.

Make sure you find a place that makes them in house. This place takes
the baking sheets out of the oven and puts them on these big rolling
racks and line them up outside the kitchen. You take a tray and tongs
and pick out what you want, take it to a counter and they bag and
price it for you. They never see a bag until you pick them out. I go
in the morning and they're still a bit warm. They may bag them later
in the day but I don't know.

About a mile from there is a stand-alone mexi bakery. If you can find
one stop in. This place has a cheesecake that's delicious. A 4X4
piece is a buck. We split one. They've got all kinds of things I'd
never seen before and it's all good and half as sweet as typical
bakery stuff. That's my favorite part. I don't have a sweet tooth so
it's perfect for me.
