    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!

        That sounds great. I’m almost across the country from there. SIGH 😔

    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.

      Hell yeah, with lightly brined tomatoes… 🤤 Gotta let those maters soak up some salt before assembly time!

          If you salt them and let them sit for a bit (like 10 min?) before assembling, it’ll amp up the flavor of the tomato slice & draw out some of the moisture; leaving you with a less soggy BLT.

          I didn’t believe that nonsense until I tried it, now I slice & season tomatoes first. It’s kinda crazy.

    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.

      Cuban sandwiches are the perfect example of something that invokes a feeling of “it CAN’T be that Earth-shatteringly good,” when you first hear about it. In all innocence, you’re like “it’s just a pork sandwich, right? How can it be this big of a deal to people?”

      But then you have a well-made one, and you want to build a time-machine, just so you can go back in time and slap yourself in the fucking face for thinking that dumb shit. Because they’re absolutely the best sandwich, and you WILL fight anyone who says different.

      I want to hear more about this citrussy.

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

    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.

          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.

      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.
