Another personal favorite of mine is pimento cheese sandwich. 49 minutes ago, ftf82 said: My now deceased Mom was affectionately known as Grandma Sandwich to our kids and their friends, because that's all that she would offer to make them for lunch when she watched them. When I was growing up, more often than not she made this on white bread with Miracle Whip. And gave the rind to our dacshunds. I would still kill for one today, but my wife does the shopping generally and refuses to buy it. Loved it as a child and still do as an adult, pops would have me save the trimmings for him.

Pimento cheese is a strong mention. But isn't it really more of an "at home" sandwich, as opposed to a "get it someplace" sandwich? I'd lean towards grouping it more with PBJ and a ham sammich on white bread -- delicious, and something you get at home. But then, the pimento cheese and cucumber sandwich at Hyde Park would argue against that (and it's a great sandwich).

May 31, 20232 yr If not yet submitted, I’d nominate a German Schnitzel sandwich. Pork, if it needs to be specified.

May 31, 20232 yr I'll bring back a couple of tubs of Price's PC from HEB on our trips back to Texas, hard to find up here in the Northeast( they love this Palmetto cheese BS).
May 31, 20232 yr Glad to see the CFS sandwich finally added. My top 3 in no order BLT, CFS and minna cheese, real fucking mayo on all of em too, Blue Plate if you got it. Edited May 31, 20232 yr by RMac5
May 31, 20232 yr A lot of good ones mentioned, but I haven't seen Italian Sausage Sub. Definitely top ten.

May 31, 20232 yr if we're just nominating our favorite sandwiches, then I submit the Del Rancho Steak Sandwich Supreme. This here ranks with the greatest products of Oklahoma, along with Darrell K Royal, the onion burger (not a sandwich), and Carrie Underwood’s legs.

May 31, 20232 yr Author fresh from the garden tomatoes and Blue Plate mayo on white bread. fight me. Delicious. But an “at home” sandwich, and not what we’re looking for here.
May 31, 20232 yr So the Sandwich Hall of Fame currently includes 50 or more different sandwiches, including cheeseburgers, hotdogs, eggrolls, tacos, and gyros. Since someone mentioned open-faced sandwiches, I nominate shit on a shingle.

May 31, 20232 yr I like the idea of a playoff. But anything liver related should be a really low seed and if it gets past the 1st round, the tournament is rigged.

May 31, 20232 yr A tuna salad on toasted white bread is one of the greatest sandwiches ever. However, restaurants still have nothing on Mrs. CHIEF's tuna salad. Her's is very simple albacore tuna, boiled eggs, real mayo, onion, pickles, and about a third of a jar of the pickle brine. A large dash or three of lemon pepper and lime pepper seasoning.

What, you don't love you a real authentic Subway meatball sandwich? I mean, I GUESS a real-deal meatball sub might be better... I would destroy the subway meatball sub in college. Add mayo AND ranch. It was a sloppy mess of goodness.

May 31, 20232 yr Half Serious from Zito's in San Antonio Turkey on White bread, extra spread from Nielsen's in Houston
May 31, 20232 yr Author Okay.....I am comfortable with this list of 28 (I'm making the list -- y'all get input, but like Puerto Rico, you get a say, but you don't get a vote -- so deal with it). The list is at 28. I've got three types of po-boys on it, because goddammit, I'm part NOLA-bred, and they're distinct sandwiches. I could also be talked into more than one variety of torta (because messican, too). I also have some "MAYBE" sandwiches that could be used to fill this out. The goal is a list of 32, so we can build a real bracket. Here's where we are: bahn mi muffuletta meatball sub Philly cheesesteak Italian deli grinder/sub croque madame/monsiure Cuban classic grilled cheese BLT Reuben Club Shrimp Po-boy Oyster po-boy Roast beef po-boy Montecristo Sweet-hot fried chicken (maybe just "fried chicken," and let that include all varieties) CFS sandwich Patty melt French dip Italian beef Italian sausage sub Chopped BBQ beef Carolina pulled pork Torta (milanesa?) Gyro Doner kebab Lobster Roll Hot brown MAYBE: Chopped liver Egg salad Tuna salad Chicken salad Chinese pork belly bun Pimento cheese Beef on weck Share additional thoughts you have. I'll finalize the list over the weekends, and do the seeding. Then, to the tournament. I bet we can get Marv Albert to do a promo spot - we're just going to have to offer up a female poster who he can bite. I nominate Bozo Casanova.
May 31, 20232 yr @Brisketexan 1) You might as well add crawfish+boudin po-boy. If you can have 3 you can have 4. 2) Likewise - you should separate Croque Madame and Monsieur 3) The Torta should be Torta Pambazo 4) There is one peanut butter sandwich served restaurants and rarely made at home that belongs on the list. I have ordered it and it's glorious. With or without bacon, it's The Elvis.
