According to you. GO!
A Reuben with real rye bread and fresh sauerkraut.
But I really want to try the special sentient sandwich from adventure Time.
I love a good Reuben. With Russian dressing, rather than Thousand Island. I know the only real difference is a small amount of relish, but it makes the sandwich better.
I thought the difference was horseradish.
Yeah. Now that you say that, I think you’re right.
I’m Finnish and I’m apprehensive towards your concept of “real rye bread”.
I remember seeing a lot of Reubens when watching House MD, and the rye bread was always so light coloured.
A few minutes ago I made a Reuben with cooked frozen pizza slices as the bread. It was amazing. I swear I am not stoned, which my wife accused me of being.
I am stoned and I’d try it lol
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.👌🏼
The one from Da Nang is the best, it has everything.
Shit, I was gonna say I’m partial to buffalo chicken, but bánh mì is pretty damn good too
Cuban sandwich.
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 :)
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.
Ah yes, the sandwich second only to true love.
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.
An LGBT?
Hell yeah, with lightly brined tomatoes… 🤤 Gotta let those maters soak up some salt before assembly time!
I just salt them on the sandwich. Tomatoes without salt are about half as good.
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.
Best I have ever had was this, but on cibatta with a spicy Cajun mayo type spread. From a local deli chain in Denver.
That sounds amazing!
BLAT!
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.
Came in here specifically to say a Cuban and it’s the first thing I see already mentioned.
Those things are so damn good.
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.

The Bahn Mi is the bomb diggity food of the gods.
First ever Australian Bahn Mi Festival tomorrow(in Perth), I can not wait!
Bro I’m from Perth and I just saw this message, I f’kn missed it!
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.
Muffaletta. No contest.
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
This is correct. Extra credit if the muffaletta is from Cochon Butcher in New Orleans
What if I couldn’t be bothered and just grabbed one from Canseco’s
If you’re in southern Louisiana you get some bonus points at the least
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.
So, from a cursory search, it’s like a charcuterie board in sandwich form?
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.
Songs good either way!
One that you didn’t have to make for yourself.
But my sandwiches are always better…
Your sandwiches would be even better if they were eaten by me.
But I wanna eat em!
Cliché, but the one someone else made for you.
Seriously, sandwiches made my wife just taste better. The joke is that the secret ingredient is “love,” but in reality, the secret ingredient probably is the love and gratitude you feel for the sandwich artist.
sandwiches made my wife just taste better.
That must be quite the sandwich. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Just spread a little mayo down there.
Needs more pickle.
Waffles deserve whipped butter
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.
Soft boiled egg, tomatoes, home made mayo, black pepper and salt on a French baguette. Simple and just perfectly fine.
There’s something particularly good about just boiled eggs, black pepper, and mayo on buttered bread. I’ve had this one a few times.
For me it’s a good Philly Cheesesteak.
Can’t believe it’s this far down!
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.
