POLL: All Time Best Classic Sandwich

[Murdy]

Italian Beef -- Hot, Wet -- would probably be my first choice, but there are many contenders, I'd add White House to the discussion

[surfdog]

Had to go with Reuben as it was the first thing I thought of when I read the title.
I do love a good Reuben from a proper deli.

That said, I’m a fan of most of those. I like making Philly Cheesesteak on my griddle...with some jalapeño/pico de gallo mixed in for good measure.
And it’s tough to beat a French dip...especially when I can pick one up from Philippe’s.

[Craigar]

Around here the Reuben comes from a proper bar & grill.

[Jim White]

Decided to grill today's ham and cheese.

[Attjack]

Grilling a sandwich is often the way to go. Try a grilled PB&J to take it to the next level.

[Donw]

My ideal last meal would be a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with a bowl of split pea soup.

[Mr. Bones]

Attjack yeah, Buddy! Grilled pbj's Rock, hint: ya can also melt some nestle's morsels all up in there, make a reese's pbj. NOM!

[LA Pork Butt]

A New Orleans Porboy! It matters little what you put on it the unique bread makes the sandwich! Even a French fry porboy with gravy is great.

[aladdin4d]

You can't bring poorboys without giving a muffaletta an honorable mention.

[holehogg]

I chose Cheeseburger that wouldn't have been my first choice before learning to prepare a smash burger here.
Before smashing it was definitely a bacon and cheese toasted sandwich closely followed by chicken mayo and this more so after learning how to smoke chicken.

[au4stree]

I feel like you're asking me to pick which is my favorite child. (Not really, but twas a hard decision).

BLT for me, because bacon. Especially the middle of summer with garden fresh beefsteak tomato.........

[HawkerXP]

Oooooo bacon and garden fresh tomato and mayo...……..

[smokin fool]

Tons of mayo on a club....the whole bottle

[Nate]

Ummmmmmmmmmmmm…… you forgot SPAM

I think another fun question would be what people eat on all of these sandwhiches... i.e. for me a bologna sandwhich nirvana would is a few slices of thick cut bologna, ketchup, pickle, and lays potato chips all smashed between two slices of cheap white bread....

IMHO though this really comes down to a battle between: Burger, PB&J, and Lunchmeat....

To that end... the winner of CLASSIC sandwhich has to be the PB&J.

However I want to share this little piece of bologna humor with you... if you have ever ate bologna you have to be able to relate:

Really my perspective with this poll is what is the most popular classic sandwich, not so much what's your personal favorite, but this is a fun thread regardless.

And I'm limited to 15 choices so I had to cut a few, but I KNEW I'd get the "You forgot xx" responses Didn't forget, just had to settle. Pastrami and Meatloaf were neck and neck when I was adding choices, but cold meatloaf sandwiches are popular among many folks I know so I opted for meatloaf instead of pastrami because I figured I'd hear all about forgetting meatloaf, and Reuben is sorta similar to pastrami (I said sorta!).

[Craigar]

surfdog Regional and seasonal. Around these parts, the Reuben gains traction this time of year with all of the corned beef and cabbage being servied.

[SmokeyNate]

Hard to beat a fried meatloaf sandwich with some leftover smoked meatloaf! A little ketchup and sourdough.........man thats hard to beat!

[Red Man]

I do really like pan frying leftover sliced meatloaf for sandwiches...really good!

[ribeyeguy]

It was tough but I had to go with the French Dip. I've never had a bad one, even the ones from Arby's are pretty good.

[Huskee]

That wet mushy salty goodness is hard to not love.

[Craigar]

My ex-wife is a French dip.

[Randy-Phx]

Pastrami on Rye or Italian beef. I wasn’t really introduced to Italian beef sandwiches until I got married. And cannoli, and ...

[Skip]

I voted French Dip but I'm still agonizing. Huskee you make this soooooo difficult! Fun post though!

[shify]

I can’t vote unless I know what you mean by sloppy joe. Where I grew up in Northern NJ, it referred to the most delicious deli sandwich ever. In the other 49 1/2 states it was a loose meat sandwich I’m which case it finishes last.

[Huskee]

Lol HouseHomey Same! I grew up with Manwich. Not really a fan but if I'm hungry we'll talk. Your way sounds far better.

[shify]

Huskee - see the link. Platonic ideal of a sandwich. https://www.seriouseats.com/2007/08/...py-joe-to.html

[Huskee]

shify Interesting, more of a fancy Reuben renamed Sloppy Joe

[LA Pork Butt]

It would be a New Orleans Porboy, dressed, but it is hard to decide between roast beef, shrimp and oyster.

[Mr. Bones]

Shrimp, fer me...

[HouseHomey]

I just voted for a burger. How many delegates did i win?

Now let me explain (Channeling FireMan ) why this poll is rigged. My first thought after a killer burger was a Rueben. That is a work of art and we are comparing it to a plain burger.

but your points above about preferences are well noted. Seems like bananas and kumquats though.

yeah your list would have had everything on it. Nice list though. Man a killer meat loaf sammie though.... feeling like I need to make a burger soon. I have some great scrap in the freezer.

Nice one Huskee!!

[Donw]

Your burger exceeded the 15% goal in voting to award delegates so it looks like you and Rueben will be sharing all the delegates.

[Craigar]

Just make a Reuben burger.

[MrPizzle]

You forgot hot dogs...

Lol you beat me to it!
