Have to try it someday.

Pittsburgh - anything from Primanti's

I’m pretty sure the only people that like Primanti’s are from Pittsburgh. I’ve had it several times and it is below mid imo. Yes, even the one in the Strip District.

I had this Turkey Rueben that was made at a small cafe in the mountains near where I lived. It was simply amazing. Something they did with the homemade sauce was just perfect. Place was run by some sort of cult which is funny, but damn could they could throw down a sandwich and some coffee.

Homemade bread toasted with garlic infused olive oil, seared/salted/peppered tomatoes, bacon, smoked gouda, mayo, dijon mustard, and black forest ham. Honorary mention for the sandwich I'd make at my first job - toasted pumpernickel, pepperjack cheese, sliced turkey, mayo, whole grain mustard, and tomatoes.

Have to try it someday.

If you do, use a non-sugary cereal such as corn or bran flakes, Special K, or Chex: The balance requires flavorful, savory turkey (thick slices of smoked or oven-roasted breast), a cereal contributing mainly texture, and strawberry jam providing all the sweetness (cranberry sauce is a fine substitute to pair with turkey). Use a soft, white bread as you would in a PB&J - Don't make the mistake of toasting, grilling, or deep-frying it.

Though I prefer a Monte Cristo, the sinner's sandwich is a decent substitute if you're too lazy to make or order the former.

There was a place that did a fantastic California Cheesesteak sandwich which I immensely enjoyed. Sadly they too it off the menu and I never found something the same quality and taste.

If it counts, the hot dogs at Costco. How much I miss their simplicity and price

I can't find a picture to do it justice (all the pics I can find make it look gross), but the open-faced sandwiches at the since-shuttered Carnegie Deli in NYC were also an unforgettable experience.

The sandwich was essentially a couple of inches thick of stacked meat with melted sliced cheese on top, all open and served on a white oval plate.

The restaurant had shared long rectangular tables. I remember some old Asian lady beside us arguing with the waiters the whole time.

First time trying authentic NY cheesecake along with an egg cream for me as well.

Homemade lightly grilled in in olive oil white-rye maslin bread, homemade slightly on the fatty side corned beef brisket, real swiss cheese, brown mustard, a bit of homegrown horseradish, a slice of straight from the garden yellow tomato

I said this in another thread, but I'll say it here.
I got cholesterol problems because I was eating too many of these.
My doctor ordered me to stop eating them and take blood work.
I don't think I've ever tasted something and felt as much happiness that beats that damn sandwich.
I got the sandwich when it came back for a short time and a flood of memories from when I was young kid came back. I think about it a lot.

and people wonder why it gets called double down for a triple bypass

I know this is the "best sandwich ever thread" and this is my 4th entry, but I keep coming up with more.

Had steak fajitas for dinner last night.

Had a little filling left over this morning.

Had the leftovers on a toasted English muffin with processed cheese, mayo & some red hamburger relish I don’t know what to do with.

The Frankenstein fusion of culinary cultures was quite yummy.

That's actually great to know. Thank you for sharing that.

Meant to say "I'm not sure supermarket deli slicers go that high", I think they might go only to 12...though I almost never have anything sliced that high, it's usually something like 1 for me because thin-sliced is always superior for deli-style sandwiches.

Give it a shot next time you're at the grocery store, any supermarket worth going to (so not Walmart or Dollar General) has one.

Every sandwich my Mother used to make me. They were really simple - Buttered bread, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, some kind of meat, and hot sauce/mustard/something like that. But I swear she used some kind of ancient magic because they were the best damn sandwiches I ever ate.

Ham, apple, brie.

Had a similar experience with grilled cheese. The secret was butter.

 

[Xarpho's Return]

I actually did the "butter/ham/bread" route using a slice 15 at my local grocery to get a meaty, 1/2" slab of ham on some buttered French bread. It was delicious and the proportion of bread-to-meat still worked.

There was a diner I used to frequent for lunch about 12 years ago (now closed) where I’d typically get their club sandwich with a side of steak fries. Club sandwich is a simple enough thing to make, but whatever they did it was the best damn sandwich I’ve ever had.

 

[Squanto Airi]

exactly what i'm talking about. a quarter century later and you're still thinking about that sandwich.
(edit: OT but savannah is fucking awesome. one of the coolest towns i've ever gotten to visit.)

Savannah is one of, if not the prettiest cities.

TAX: There was a place in Charlotte while I was still in school there, that had a grilled cheese with tomato and basil and it came with a side of creamy tomato soup. That was one of the best grilled cheeses I had.

Years ago, there was a local Cajun Creole place that served Po'Boy sandwiches. The best was smoked sausage on French bread with a cajun mayo sauce and coleslaw. I added the optional bacon bits to my sandwich. It's more than half a decade since that place closed, and I can still remember how delicious that sandwich was.
