To me it's a toss-up between BLT and French dip.

Restaurant? Probably a Philly cheesesteak. Homemade? Take leftover beef roast and chop/shred it up and put it on bread with some mayo.

BLT

I like a good Reuben.

I'm sure someone will be along to say McRib.

I like a bacon sandwich. No bread though.

Ham and cheese or turkey and cheese.

BLT and Reuben for me.

BLT

Easy: Cheesteak sandwich from the Pickle Barrel in Bozeman.

Spam. Fried or out of the can.

WS

That's akin to picking a favorite child!

Rueben, Cubans, philly, or just a good ol' meatloaf with mayo and mustard....

All Good!

Leftover/cold brat wrapped up in a flour tortilla ( aka a "wrap" ) with mayo and provolone cheese.

A close second is liverwurst on whole wheat toast with Miracle Whip, bread & butter pickles, lettuce, and tomato.

Yessireeee.....as Kent Rollins would say..... "That's some fine dining'".

Meatloaf

+1

What my Grandma made me for lunch.Either cold beef brisket on rye with mustard,or ham and swiss with spicy mustard and butter,on thick sliced Bellantoni's bread,Peppers and egg on a German roll.I miss Grandma,lol.

Liverwurst on a Kaiser roll would be close second.

I never would choose any other sandwich over a good Reuben.

BLT (with POC)

Haven’t had one in 15 years. I had forgotten about PB. So much hustle and bustle in Boz now. But it is a worthy sandwich!

Cold- leftover meatloaf.
Hot- venison steak cooked rare on the grill. A little salt and pepper on the steak. Buttered bread.

Lookie folks, that right there ain't no dang "Miracle Whip".

This slumlord dude gots it goin' on I tells ya.

Fried crappie sandwich with coleslaw and a beer .

Cream cheese and jelly on homemade oat or wheat bread would rank at the top of the list.

But, like Mooner, there are too many choose from.

Like various rifle and pistol cartridges, and fishin' poles..................................there's a sammich for every different occasion.

I'm a big fan of sammichs.

That said, I love a good Banh Mi.

Reuben is solid #1

Philly cheese steak is a fave too though


Question… is a burger a sandwich?

I was going to say catfish sandwich or fried bologna aka Cheatham County ham.

But...I have to uphold the trailer park persona.

Wait....Moonpie is a sandwich...right?



FREEBIRD !!!!

1.Monte Cristo from Henry's Coffee in Rio Vista after fishing all morning with my Dad along the Sacramento river.

2.French Dip from Fosters Big Horn down the street from Henry's again with Pops.

I have no idea what a french dip sandwich is.

Reuben or BLT for the draw.

Pastrami and Swiss with mustard on rye, served hot.

Fried oyster po-boy.

Pulled pork butt done right...Sliced fresh garden maters on the side.

Any sandwich, anywhere, anytime. My favorite? Whatever is on my plate. I'd be hard pressed to name my top 25, much less top one.

Una torta de jamon

Reuben sandwich.

Fried oyster Poboy.

Cheesesteak sub (cheesesteak with lettuce, tomato and onions) from Pat's Pizza in Pennsville, NJ. Stop there on the way home from the gun club.

Soft-shell crab sandwich on toasted white bread, lemon juice and tarter sauce on the side.

Second best a hot lobster roll with lemon juice and butter.

That would work too.


For me sandwiches are about speed and ease. Not that I don't like a lot mentioned, but when I have to spend an hour preparing it, then the sandwich has lost is biggest reason for existence

Scheidt, I forgot about them softshell sammiches. They're the bomb for sure. Leave the tartar sauce off mine please.

Haven't had a good meatball sandwhich in awhile. I may have to address that issue in the near future.

I wish the Italian Grinder shop still existed and close by too. Damn they made a few good sandwiches.

Smashburger. Loaded.

Home grown tomato on white bread with mayo, salt, and pepper is a great one.

Hot Pastrami by far.

I love sammiches, havent meet one yet i dont like, expect for the green bell peppers on a philly

My favorite is either one of these.

Bologna, with velvetta (sliced cheeselike product lol), mircle whip, fresh sliced home grown mater, on wonder white bread

or

Braunscheger , with hot pepper cheese, on white bread, brown mustard and fresh sliced home grown mater.

I'm with Rocky on this, I love 'em all. Tonight, though, we'll probably go to Lewis Barbecue, and if we do, I'll probably get an El Sancho Loco, which is pulled pork, chopped brisket and slices of hot gut sausage on a kaiser roll....sauce it up, pile on some vinegar-based cole slaw and you've got one of those sandwiches you can't let go off until it's done.

Yep, Yep!

Bacon lettuce and tomato.

Adding above...meatloaf sandwich with mayo, smidge of ketchup and fresh lettuce.

🦫

PS

A steak sandwich on a buttered toasted bun with a knife of good mustard, Mayo and horseradish is hard to pass on as well.

with a slice of red onion and some butter.

Afterwards, avoiding breathing on anyone for awhile........

Had a lobster po-boy in Key West a few months back that was very memorable.....

I'd go back to KW just to have that sandwich again.

Anyone say cow tongue yet ?

Never had a sandwich made with tongue and unless I’m about to starve to death....never will 🤮

🦫

Lobster BLT, or soft shell crab with Mayo on French roll.

Bacon, avocado and tomato on oat bread w/ mayo. Turkey and stuffing w/mayo and mustard. And about a dozen others. Watching carbs sucks.


mike r

peanut butter

French dip. I used to eat it so much my wife makes fun of me.

Too many to mention. Hard to beat a grilled cheese and ham sammich with a cup of chowder in the winter.

Double Filet O Fish with extra Mayo...I mean Tartar Sauce

Could go for a Grouper Sandwich right now.

Turkey, swiss on a good hoge bun melted then mayo, tomatoes, and Heinz dill pickles.

Roast beef, mild cheddar toasted sourdough, sprinkled with green Tobasco and mild horseradish sauce added to each bite

BBQ Brisket on a hamburger bun with homemade BBQ sauce

and many others,

sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't

Hard to beat a good Reuben, but I could always do damage to a BLT, a Grilled cheese, a good burger built a hundred different ways, or a bunch of others.... making me hungry just thinking about it, but I'm supposed to be watching my carbs these days.... my efforts are somewhat unsuccessful at times...

The next one!

BLT
Walleye or Crappie sammich
Burgers
Are my favorites

Yes, BLT.

While tongue is a bit hard for some people to swallow (pun intended), when done right it's the best sandwich meat around. Put some thin sliced tongue on real rye with sauerkraut and pickles (both homemade) and spicy mustard and it's the type of sandwich that will convert lots of folks to eating tongue.

Pouring one out for the long-gone Crawdad Po Boy from Popeyes.

PB&J with really good creamy peanut butter, and jam.
Bacon with Miracle Whip and mustard.
Grilled cheese.
Creamy peanut butter with honey.
Gotta use fresh Orowheat Oatnut bread for all of the above, for me.

Philly Cheesesteak.
Monte Cristo.
Muffuletta.
Pastrami and Swiss on rye.

Grilled cheese made with pimento cheese
Reuben always
Steak and cheese deluxe
Oyster po’boy

BLT minus the L and A really good Rueben minus the sauce and a touch of mustard with mayo (not the kind with a cult following here).

Smoked Thuringer and Muenster on a good bun, but last I had was in Vegas years ago.
Vegas NM that is, the REAL Las Vegas!

Dang, think I will go fix a egg and muenster with a bit of RED, this has made me hungry

And then there’s the ice cream sandwich

One that I want, that someone else makes for me...
Needless to say..
I make 99.99% of my own sandwiches

Favorite?????
I dont fugging know......

Whole wheat, crunchy peanut butter and banana slices maybe????

Just about all I eat when in Florida.

Fugg a sandwich if you can afford Ribeyes , potatoes, veggies

I like a Monte Cristo for breakfast. Made one this week actually.

Yep

1.Bacon and peanut butter on whole grain toast
2.Turkey with horseradish mayo and dill pickles on
same bread.
3.BLT on a small sub roll.
Old Cuss

Well, when I worked, I always had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They never spoiled when left in a 90 degree plus car that was locked up in the sun until lunch time. Now when I say peanut butter and jelly, I mean peanut butter at least a quarter inch thick with a hint of jelly. Never could understand people who think a peanut butter and jelly sandwich is a half inch of jelly with a hint of peanut butter.
Now if I'm at home, a half inch slice of baloney with a half inch slice of onion on it is very good.
Corned beef and dill pickle sandwiches are always carried when deer hunting.

Just add meat. Any kind.

Never been a big sandwich fan. Much rather have a Double Cheesburger or Chopped BBQ Brisket w/ sauce. on a bun.

But if I do make a sandwich, it’s either Balogna in white bread or a fried Balogna & egg sandwich

Or a BLT with no Fuggin lettuce. And Extra Bacon. 🤠

Will order a Philly Cheese Steak Sandwich if I have to eat at a damned Sandwich Shop.

I like that stuff too. With 80 / 20 Ground Round.
But I don’t make a sandwich out of it.
I just dump it over sliced white bread and eat it with a fork.

Taylor Swift is everybodies favorite ham sandwich.

Clubhouse

Try it in a casserole dish, cover with slices of American cheese, biscuits over that and bake til biscuits are golden.
So damn good…..

I like my sandwiches with three pieces of bread.

Just read this whole thread, hafta say I'm in Rocky Raabs camp on this.
I like every sandwich everybody mentioned except not crazy about the
pimento cream cheese ( I will eat it). I think it is more as to what season
it is than what is the favorite is. I like them all! Some more so at different
times of the year. Eat hot sandwiches lots more in winter and our "mater"
season is just starting up in the Northeast.

Lunch, dine out favorite sandwiches in Columbia sc....

The Duck-In on main st.......chicken fillet basket

Mack's on laurel st......double chili cheeseburger

A good sandwich should be like a mind altering drug.

2 of my favorite local drugs.

When the homegrown tomatoes are fat, ripe & just dripping all over, a BLT, hold the L is a super treat.

Otherwise, a Rueben... Not even sure I've had a high end one, but whatever I've had of them was great.

Home grown tomato and cucumber, miracle whip, on toast.

Used to make tomato sandwich’s when I was a kid and we grew lots of them. I put ....... ketchup on them. 😬

Arby’s has them. Try one.

Those are related to a real french dip about like Keystone Light is related to real beer.

Same goes for tomato, cucumber and miracle whip.

LOL

The Pattymelt has been forsaken! Ground bison, sharp cheddar and a ton of sauteed onions grilled in butter on russian rye.

These will be served at the big table in Valhalla.


mike r

Hell Yes to the PM , and a Reuben

BLT has always been my favorite. Big homegrown tomato and thick sliced bacon. Thick cut sourdough bread, toasted. Light spread of Dukes mayonnaise.

Looking forward to lunch tomorrow.

Had an Italian sandwich called acquisto.

Salami, turkey, caprocola, provolone and an olive salad on a crust bread roll.


The sandwich by which all others are judged. It's perfection.

A good hot pastrami is hard to beat. But then again so is a BLT or French dip.

the reuben or cheesesteak are a tie. i have been trying my hand at both and find that its easier to make a good cheesesteak than it is to make a good reuben. reuben depends on the ingredients. run of the mill grocery store meat, cheese, etc don't cut it. the real deal is made with ingedients from a real jewish deli. from the meat to the mustard and pickle spears. but to set yourself up with all the authentic stuff sets ya back about 15 bucks a sammie. these are 1/4 and 1/2 lb'ers. i no longer work near the jewish deli and haven't done it myself for a couple years. mmm, mmm.

Plain old garden tomato on toast with dukes Mayo and salt and pepper. Add a slice of American cheese to make it even better.
For 2 months a year when the gardens producing I eat several a day.
Prefer heirloom tomatoes of high acidity.

day old turkey,iceberg lettuce, lots of mayo on wonder bread!!!

Wood fired oven to finish (olive salad added after)?

Had a real Italian deli chain that did that dealio, damn good stuff.

Pass the meatloaf sammich and hold the fluff.....

I really like a good hot pastrami on rye with mustard.

Also, English Muffin with mayo, melted Swiss, and ham.

Also, egg omelette, sliced tomatoes, mayo, on sliced white bread.

Rare roast beef with lettuce and mayo on a poppy seed Kaiser roll.

I know I'll get raked over the coals over this one- but Arby's makes a passable Reuben if you're in a hurry....

Mutatis mutandis re my french dip comment.

My buddy and I used to hit Henry's after pheasant hunting in Collinsville (my Mother was born and raised there) and he would always order the Monte Cristo. Seems I would get a patty melt. My uncle owned the bait shop across from Fosters.

I find mortadella, Swiss and a bit of mayo on a gum bleeding sourdough baguette perfection.

Rueben and Philly Cheesesteak top my list. For quickness, a peanut butter/Nutella is great. Ultimate comfort food is a grilled cheese (3 slices) with tomato soup (made with milk) and a handful of grated cheese.

Only if you're into soggy rye bread.

They always look good on their menu board picture. But I’ve yet to try one.

Kinda like a Sonic Hamburger. But the Sonic Hamburger is much smaller. And they suck.

Always pisses me off that those fast food chains show theses big ole giant Hamburgers in their TV commercials too. 😡

Two troofs

Fugkin Boomer

Oh CHL
Go eat some Sloppy Joes , fattie

LOL

Irrelevant Troll.

The 10.5 at Perry's Deli in Middletown, CA is one of my favs.

Pastrami panini like a cuban.

A BLT with 8+ pieces of thick crispy bacon and fall tomato, lightly toasted quality white bread and Hellmans.
I wait for fall every year for those sandwiches.

Then:
Steak with grilled onions & mushrooms, and American cheese.
An Italian with top shelf ingredients
Pastrami (Rueben or grilled with grilled onions, provalone abd mustard)

Honorable mention to the Thanksgiving sandwich

And, don't laugh, a grilled cheese with the pepperoni "cheese" that Hormel puts out is awfully good.

A BLT should have bacon.

1. Lester's Diner in Ft Lauderdale makes a 1/2 corned beef, 1/2 pastrami sandwich that is killer. For some reason, it's no longer on the menu. But, you can ask for it and they will make it for you.
2. Philly Cheese Steak (Ribeye) - Sonny's Famous Steak Hoagies in Hollywood, FL. Been in business 63 years. Get the #90. Thank me later.

LMAO . They were outta bacon

No bacon but have the Original Ruffles

LOL

With ridges!

Those will kill a gummer on thinners

Nice pink slices of roasted beef with smoked gouda cheese and some fresh horseradish

Or roasted dark meat turkey with the same smoked gouda and some chipotle mayo...

Or a Kelly's pub reuben

Or an Arthur's Deli "Work of Art" with their signature sweet-hot mustard, onions, and hungarian peppers

A really good BLTO. That means really high quality ingredients.
B=bacon (thick and crispy)
L=lettuce
T=tomato (from Iowa is the best)
O=onion (strong white or red)

Or a really good Philly Cheesesteak

Sausage & Peppers

Before gluten was knocking me down, it used to be the 4x4s at Kroger deli made by the same gal who put a half pound of the shaved red roast beef on thick sliced 7 grain toast. Two thick slices of swiss. Then horse radish sauce, red sweet bell peppers, romain, red onion, and a pickle on the side. Sometimes I added a tomato. That was a good lunch.

BLT for me

Ketchup on wonder bread builds strong bodies 7 ways.

That sounds like three meals in one.

Sonuvabitch!

Italian Beef or a Pastrammi sandwich

Muffaletta

Mayo, peanut butter and dill pickle slices on rye.

Toast the rye if you want a hot meal with melted peanut butter!

For dessert, peanut butter and honey with banana slices - on sourdough!

Do tacos count as sammichs?

If so, then yes, many many many.

Which reminds me. There's a tongue in the freezer from the 1/4 beef I bought this spring. The rancher didn't want it, the heart, or the liver, so I scored more poundage of beef for FREE!

Hmmmm? Maybe I need to get one of those parts out soon. A sammi of any of them would hit the spot.

I need a good beef heart recipe.

That’s a great hunting sammich!

\Well, lookie here. The Grinder is still in business. Their 5th decade. Maybe they make a decent enough sandwich or three?

http://thegrovegrinder.com/

There's one in El Cajon CA too. Dude that started them was in to horse racing. Lots of his pics on the walls when I was last there. Relatives down that way told me they're still there.

Me too. I just had deer heart a few times and just fried it up some.

I may look for one I can do it whole on the grill and see how that works. Them fuggers ain't small like a deer heart!

What about marinating the chunked up heart in some lime, achiote paste, garlic, onion, salt and pepper.

Then on the grill. Maybe on skewers.

Ooohh!

That sounds nice.

I'd have to get some of that paste, not a household item here.

I wonder how it would taste grilled like that with some Ras al Hanout on it (Moroccan spice blend)

Makin' me hungry thinking about it.

I found it.

Anticuchos de corazon


Oh my.

Linky bro?

I went to a Nicaraguan bbq a while back and the meat was marinated in something like that.


That was from memory. Maybe had some oil in it too.


Moroccan slice blend sounds good.

I never figured out how to link from my phone.

Roger that.

I can cut and paste it into the search engine.

If/when you butcher a lamb, that Moroccan stuff was made for it.

Rueben or an Italian beef combo dipped

If a burger counts as a sandwich, it would be my all-round favorite. If not, then steak and cheese, by a mile. And it's not a "cheesesteak"

After that, cold turkey sandwich from a Thanksgiving bird.

But in my mind, there aren't many sandwiches that I don't like. Can't go wrong with braunschweiger, pastrami, grilled cheese, corned beef, tooterfishes, egg salad, or the generic ham or turkey. I even like a PB&J now in my old age. Of course, I like a bacon sandwich, but I think the maters and mayo are the stars.

Lately, my favorites have been fried chicken sandwiches, pork loin, or banh mi.

I also think the condiments and dressing play a big role. A roast beef sandwich with fresh Russian dressing can be really good. Same with just about any coldcuts and red sandwich relish. I also like an Italian sub soaked in dressing.

Reuben, A good barbeque, A real Po Boy.

About 40 years ago, I was traveling to Crossville, TN with a buddy. We were on the way to do some boar hunting. We stopped at a Kroger store and Jerry sent me in to get a couple sandwiches. He said he'd take whatever I was having.

The deli section of that Kroger was as lousy as I had ever seen one. The only stuff that looked good was Roast Beef, Pepperoni, and Cheddar. I had them put it on a Kaiser Rolls. Jerry said it was the best sandwich he'd ever had. He had some real estate that he was going to be renting to a Pizza joint. He said he was going to make them put this sandwich on the menu and name it after me. For a couple of years, we'd go over there regularly and by a sack of Hot Bill sandwiches named after me. The Pizza Joint added a toasted hoagie roll and frizzled the sliced roast beef. That was a decent addition.

Fast forward 20 years. I got the farm in 2001, and the kids were still fairly young. Starting that first summer, I would get the fixings for Bill Sandwiches and we'd eat them on the front porch-- even before we got the keys to the place. Bill Sandwiches have been a ritual at the farm ever since.

If you go to Jersey Mikes and order a Cancro Special, you'll find a similar sandwich.

You can just soak them in balsamic vinegar for a day or two.

Salt and pepper, grill.

Tuna salad on white with lettuce and pickles.

I doubt you could find anything that remotely resembles food where you live. But if you're ever traveling, a lengua torta is one of the best sandwiches a person can find.

Talk about being Bourgeois, how about good old garden grown tomato, on white bread with mayo and a slice of melted cheese on it?

I'm a real cheap date, aren't I?

Your sandwich needs half a pound of bacon and skip the cheese.

One of my current favorites is a pork tenderloin finished at medium and sliced:


Put it on some cuban or media noche bread with pickles and slather on some beet horseradish:




Like most things I make, it's amazing:

Good NY pastrami on seedless rye with American cheese and course spicy mustard, with a knish and a sour garlic pickle on the side.

Bacon, tomato and american cheese with Hellmanns on a hard roll (kaiser). Heavy bacon, heavy mayo.

Fried shrimp parm hero, heavy cheese...or meatball parm, or veal cutlet parm, or fried eggplant parm

Thanksgiving turkey with stuffing, cranberry sauce, Hellmanns, salt and pepper on white.

French Dip or Philly cheese steak, with provolone.

Fried Taylor Pork Roll, plain, on fresh white bread

A RUBEN with extra everything and thousand island dip.

BLT with a schmear of horseradish, Meatloaf with mayo & ketchup, Reuben.... Good bread makes a big difference.

The amount of bullschit a person could squeeze out of your head is absolutely amazing.

I like a lot of different sandwiches but when I am looking over a menu and I see Reuben I usually stop looking because my mind is made up.

Sandwiches are made with bread... a good idea for society to create a huge population to conquer other societies.

But the cost of eating bread for the individual is high blood pressure, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and obesity.

The individual's cost of not eating bread is the expensive meat diet and buying new skinny clothes.

LOL

I like homemade subs too, with good fresh bread, lots of veggies (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickles, onions, jalapeños), hard salami, pepperoni, Swiss and cheddar, salt and pepper, Miracle Whip and mustard, and a lotta red wine vinegar.

In as few words as possible

Nice cutting board, excellent looking sandwich, I've got to find or make some of that red stuff, and how much you want for the pigsticker?

Oh, beautiful Smiths in the other thread too.

My mother used to make us cow tongue samiches. She told us it was cold roast beef. Topped with mayo and horse radish, it was delicious.

I always liked good Mennonite summer sausage on a heavy bread of any sort.

Cuban

A *good* Italian Grinder, getting harder and harder to find.

He's confused about the name Flave.

Try ordering a "Hot Carl" for the Shamanic Sandwich Experience....

Cancro sounds like something unwanted on a Boomer’s foot

Crusty white bread, plenty of butter, fresh picked blue swimmer crab, cracked black pepper & a squeeze of lemon juice.

Nothing better !

When we ate Thanksgiving meal early in the afternoon, always liked to make leftover turkey sandwiches at night on the fresh bakery dinner rolls with some mayo.

A Meatball Samme from Jersey Mike's was one of my all-time favorites.

Crying shame they quit making them.....

Gotta try one from Pastini's. My son-in-law says they make a darn good 'un.

Virgil B.

Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich with butter from the Waffle House.

Braunscheger just like above...good stuff!

Katz’s Deli, Manhattan, pastrami and Swiss on rye extra mustard. Or there corn beef same set up.

Fresh baked bread, good sliced ham, sliced homegrown tomatoes and mayo.

Steve: I don't know of a sandwich I've eaten that I disliked?
But some of my favorites are good old Tuna on Rye's and B.L.T.'s.
I look forward all year to the sandwich's I take into the high country of SW Montana every fall while archery Elk Hunting.
They are made on the indestructible Ciabatta bread rolls and consist of smoked deli Turkey, lettuce, mayo, pre-sliced Dill pickles and Cheddar cheese.
Um-mmm I am getting hungry just thinking about them.
Hold into the wind
VarmintGuy

Not many good reasons to visit Manhattan but this is sure one of them.

They are delicious. I made that cutting board for my wife. Purple Heart, maple, and oak I believe.

Gruff made the knife and it was a gift. I could never part with it.

Homemade turkey breast with mayo, salt, pepper on white bread.

Hot corned beef and sauerkraut on toasted or grilled rye. No it's not a reuben.

LOL

I usually order a club sandwich with extra bacon and jalapeños. Add a order of fries and call it good. Just did that at Sami’s Kitchen in Knoxville yesterday.

Mother's (NOLA) roast beef poboy with debris.

Ahh.. While it wasn't the BEST sandwich, I had a sandwich made with cape buffalo tongue while hunting in Zim several years ago. It was really good and right up there in memorability.

Never met a sandwich I didn't like. Hard to pick just one

Love sandwiches. Most everything mentioned here. Had a Manwich for the first time, the other day. Was excellent. Jason's Deli "Beefeater" is a fav, along with broccoli cheese, or french onion soup.

My great aunt used to live on Bienville not far from Carrollton and we used to get the roast beef poboys from Parkway. That was in the 70s and early 80s. I have no idea how they are these many years later.

The fire is slipping- no one has said a brunette and a redhead

Just made this yesterday. Egg omelette, tomato, lettuce, and mayo on sliced Italian bread.

Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, and sun-dried tomatoes on ciabatta with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

Open-faced Dungeness crab-topped English muffins.

Fresh steamed crab mixed with Swiss cheese, sautéed mushrooms, diced green onions, and a little bit of mayo. Stacked high on a toasted English muffin then baked at 350 for 25 minutes.

Great topic for a thread, but I cannot pick just one 'sammich. Below are my top contenders:

The Big Dipper at the Klondike in Soldotna, AK was outstanding.

The Alaskan Burger at Hamburger Haven in Anchorage, AK might be the best thing I've ever eaten.

The Beef Ortega at Mort's Deli in Pacific Palisades, CA.

The sliced beef 'sammich at Angelo's BBQ in Fort Worth, TX.

Burger at Adair's Saloon in Dallas, TX - likewise the burger at Sons of Herman Hall.

The chili burger at Burger Island in Dallas.

The Reuben at Wolf's Delicatessen in Manhattan.

The French Dip at Philippe's in LA.

The lobster roll at virtually any roadside shack in ME.

The I-talian beef at Al's in Chicago...

...I could go on, but:
