    A Reuben with real rye bread and fresh sauerkraut.

    But I really want to try the special sentient sandwich from adventure Time.

    Mine’s the Vietnamese bánh mì. Cucumbers, cilantro, pickled carrots and daikon, jalapeños, mayo spread (similar to Kewpie), paté, and your choice of meat, on a Vietnamese baguette. I prefer traditional cold cuts, char siu (xa xiu), or meatballs (xiu mai). And I always pay for extra paté.👌🏼

      Ooh. There’s a place in Seattle called Un Bien that makes a great Cuban sandwich. The original cook from Paseo (their Cuban style sandwich won 2014’s best sandwich in Seattle) left and opened Un Bien. I always make sure to stop by when I get the chance!

        I live there and have never heard of this place. I’m going to check it out! Thanks :)

    A nice M.L.T. A mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich when the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe.

    A BLT dressed up with avocado. The quality of the vegetables is key. Doing it right requires fresh lettuce and tomatoes from the backyard garden. Nothing store-bought can compare.

    The Reuben is up there. A delightful combination of creamy (Swiss), hearty (Rye), salty (corned beef), sweet (Thousand Island dressing), and tart (sauerkraut). Those are like, the Power Rangers of sandwich ingredients. When they combine, the end result is unstoppable.

      If you asked me individually about each of those ingredients, I’d tell you I wasn’t really a fan (besides the kraut. Love me some kraut), but when they are all together, it really is a Megazord of delight!

    The Cubans my wife made. They were the best example I have ever had.

    • Instant pot citrus pork shoulder. I don’t know how but it was the most citrussy pork I’ve ever had
    • grocery store smoked honey ham
    • some kind of cheese. Provolone?
    • good chunky mustard
    • Ciabatta roll
    • grilled and smashed flat on a hot cast iron with lots of butter

    I could Se7en Gluttony kill myself on these if the supply was available.

      I want to hear more about this citrussy.

      Jokes aside sounds amazing. Cubans are really good. My wife makes them as eggrolls.

          I missed it, taking care of family.

          And by all reports, going next year may be the better option… expected 2000 turnout, got 5000 people… 2 portaloos, no traffic management etc.

          But then 15 types of Bahn Mi would probably be worth it.

    Monte Cristo

    Turkey, ham, cheese on bread and then you dip the entire sandwich in a batter or just seasoned eggs (like French toast) and then deep fried.

    Served with raspberry jam usually.

    Very hard to find a good one.

      Had my first muffaletta in the NOLA French Quarter during Mardi Gras. It was 3AM or so, in the middle of an all night pub crawl, ordered a “half muff” and my goodness. Perfect drunk food lol

      I think the only reason muffaletta isn’t mentioned more here is that people simply aren’t aware of its existence.

      It’s in a dead heat with a proper reuben, though. They both get to exist because you can’t get a perfect one in the same place.

        Maybe in the same way pizza is just dough, sauce, and cheese.

        It’s all in the prep and the quality of ingredients. Absolutely requires the right bread, the right olives, quality meat, etc.

    Someone already mentioned the Reuben, which is delicious, but an authentic pulled pork sandwich with coleslaw and just enough barbeque sauce to taste it is one of the best things on earth. I could drink that creamy, bbq-y, pork juice that leaks out like Gatorade.

      Same. If I’ve got the money, and I’m somewhere new and they have it, I’m ordering this. The Venice Whaler (back in 2011) was so far my favorite.
