June 1, 20232 yr Spec's at Brodie makes a damn good Reuben, In fact, Spec's deli is a little bit of an undiscovered gem.
June 1, 20232 yr In Tyler, there are two---Lola's and Roost. Honorable mention to Stanley's BBQ, when they have it on the menu. The one at Roost is appropriately enormous, and the half-sandwich is the correct order. I need to hit up Kenny & Ziggy's the next time I'm in Houston.

June 1, 20232 yr Had the "is a taco a sandwich conversation with the 17yr old man child" after reading this thread. He insists that it is not because it is one continuous piece of bread and therefore not a sandwich. I like the way he thinks, but not sure I agree with him yet. It would also knock out some really good "sandwiches" if I choose to agree.

June 1, 20232 yr Lots of good recs in here. Reuben is probably my favorite all time. Or the gyro if we're allowing it. For those making tuna salad a dash of celery salt can take it to a ten. My addition to the tourney is the glorious breaded pork tenderloin sandwich:

My addition to the tourney is the glorious breaded pork tenderloin sandwich: How did I forget it? I worked for a company hq’d in Des Moines. The fried pork tenderloin sandwich is a marvel of Iowa. They not only know how to raise pigs that still taste like pork, they know how to cook them too. They are always the size of a hubcap. They also make some tasty prime corn fed beef up there.Did gyros make this list.
