Ask Lemmy

Anything utilizing Dutch crunch bread is going to be damn good, I used to love a Togo’s #16 (Italian) on that with mayo back when they still had it as a bread option.

One day a couple of years ago, we had some meatloaf and some baked mac&cheese leftovers that my wife had made. The next day I got a loaf of homemade sourdough from the farmers market that pops up every Saturday. I sliced off about a half-inch thick slice of the meatloaf and the baked mac&cheese with that fresh sourdough and grilled a sandwich that I really hope to be able to replicate at least once more before I die...

Chilli dogs!

Smoked tri-tip steak to medium rare/medium and then sliced thin, lots of grilled onions, and melted swiss served on a freshly toasted baguette with au jus or warmed bbq sauce

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.

Smores

A BLT with pepper bacon thickly cut and crispy, fresh lettuce, fresh tomatoes, mustard, mayo, swiss cheese, and a splash of red wine vinegar.

A good mile-high Rueben with lots of sauerkraut and cheese. Or one of the big sloppy pastrami burgers at Crown Burger.

I love me a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich. Simple, but comforting. Although, turkey based sandwiches in general are a food weakness for me.

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.

There are fancier options, but it's hard to top a good homemade bacon, egg, and cheese, with crispy bacon and buttery toast.

Here in NJ we’re known for not only your traditional deli hoagies (or heros, subs, whatever you want to call them), but also “fat sandwiches”. They’re usually characterized by having a ton of greasy stuff loaded into them. My personal favorite is from a place in Princeton; the sandwich is called a Sanchez. It’s a chicken cutlet sandwich with a tangy orange sauce, mozzerella sticks, and French fries on it. Horrible for you, but it’s the ultimate drunk food. Rutgers campus is also well known for their fat sandwiches you can get from food trucks affectionately known as “grease trucks”

Raclette

Cliché, but the one someone else made for you.

The PB&Js your mom made and cut into quarters diagonally and brought out to you and your friends playing in the backyard when you were six. The ones with the toothpicks in them, indicating they have crunchy PB. Best after sitting for ten minutes so the jelly starts to leak into the bread a little bit. With a glass of milk.

A hotdog 🌭, has its own emoji even.

A Reuben with real rye bread and fresh sauerkraut.

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

Cuban sandwich.

The best sandwich in the world was the ham and cheese one I had yesterday. It was a couple days old, but I put it in the toaster oven for a few minutes, and since it was after all the best sandwich in the world, it was still pretty good. Sorry world, I ate it.

A cheeseburger.

Muffaletta. No contest.

Can't beat a basic ham, cheese, and tomato toasted sandwich.

Slip some salt and vinger in there before toasting and you have a full on mouth party.

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.👌🏼
