Okay -- does anyone know a good site to set up a 64 team bracket, and then have people enter their choices/votes (as opposed to reporting who won each match)?

I'm distilling the list over the next few days, and will present 64 qualified sandwich competitors to a few of the posters on here to rank, to give us our seeding.  Then, I'll populate the 64-sandwich bracket and post it for votes.  Allow a couple of days for each round of voting, that sort of thing.

But really, if there's a site that will allow us to set it up as a 64 entrant poll, that's what we need.  I ain't counting votes by hand.

My suggestion is to simplify it and just draw the seeds. Make it blind chance where all these end up, thus eliminating a bit of griping.

This looks pretty straight forward but is limited to 32. Can do 2 I recon, or google for other options.

This place seems like it has plenty of options. But I admit I didn't get past a google search and the home page. After all, this was my idea, I feel like I don't need to do any of the requisite legwork.

Eliminate griping?

You might as well suggest that I eliminate the very air that we breathe around here.  Griping is the lifeblood of Surly.

I'm thinking no.  We have enough nominees to make a 64 sammich field.  Sure, some of them will be 16 seeds that are just happy to show up and get the tourney swag pack, but they'll be there.

Edited by Brisketexan

I said eliminate a bit of griping for which there is no real solution as seeds are totally arbitrary.

And I don’t give a shit where you seed fucking liverworst im going with the opponent even if it’s an unskinned sheep dick poboy.

I know you didn't just shit on the snack of braunschweiger on crackers.....

Among other things, I disappointed my dad by not carrying on his love of braunschweiger. He’d eat it on crackers, or as a sandwich with cold velveeta. Drank buttermilk with it.

Brisket refers to it as a home sandwich, as in you wouldn't order one in a restaurant.  I made one at home for lunch today.  Maybe he's right?  But there's no denying that a good PB&J slams.

Genius. I’ve made pb&j with bacon which is righteous. This is certainly Michelin star level.

This spectacular thread died like a fart in the wind, and we never got our Sammich Bracket.  I'm sure the clerks and paralegals at the Brisket firm are working in shifts, and we'll have this ready to go before the amazing football season to come distracts us.

Indiana judge rules tacos, burritos are sandwiches

Quote

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WISH) — A judge in Fort Wayne has ruled tacos and burritos are sandwiches.

In 2019, commercial developer Martin Quintana sought a zoning change for a strip mall. To avoid remonstrators from residents in the Covington Creek Condominium Association, Quintana agreed to written commitments — including one about restaurants — with the neighbors to get the plan commission’s approval. It worked.

The Famous Taco Mexican Grill, which sits east of Glenbrook Square mall in Fort Wayne, wanted to expand into the strip mall at 6626 W. Jefferson Blvd. That’s southwest of downtown and near Covington Plaza.

In 2022, Quintana made plans for The Famous Taco to open in his Quintana Plaza strip mall.

The neighbors cried foul but worked out an amendment to the written commitments to allow the restaurant. The plan commission, though, didn’t approve of the amendment. Quintana then sought a judge’s review.

The commitment that caused contention had been designed to keep out traditional fast-food restaurants.

“A sandwich bar-style restaurant whose primary business is to sell ‘made-to-order’ or ‘subway-style’ sandwiches (which by way of example includes, but is not limited to, ‘Subway’ or ‘Jimmy John’s’, but expressly excludes traditional fast food restaurants such as ‘McDonalds’, ‘Arbys’ and ‘Wendys’), provided that any such restaurant shall not have outdoor seating or drive-through service. For the avoidance of doubt, the sale of alcoholic beverages is expressly prohibited upon the Real Estate.”

Allen Superior Judge Craig J. Bobay on Monday ruled a Famous Taco restaurant would be permittable and the commitments don’t need to be amended.

In his ruling, the judge wrote, “The proposed Famous Taco restaurant falls within the scope of the general use approved in the original Written Commitment. The proposed Famous Taco restaurant would serve made-to-order tacos, burritos, and other Mexican-style food, and would not have outdoor seating, drive through service, or serve alcohol. The Court agrees with Quintana that tacos and burritos are Mexican style sandwiches, and the original Written Commitment does not restrict potential restaurants to only American cuisine-style sandwiches.”

The judge also noted that, despite his ruling, he did not consider the plan commission’s actions to be improper, leaving the door open for an appeal.

 

Pastrami on rye at Katz’s Deli in NYC is the best sandwich I’ve ever had.

Kenny and Ziggy’s in Houston is respectable, but not in the same ballpark as the genuine article. 
 

Kahn’s Deli in Rice Village was a NYC quality deli. RIP.

Plus, you can feed a family of four on one of those.

Katz’s was nuts last time I was in there. It was like 9am in December and there was an already a line and nowhere to sit. Still slammed and was worth the trip. 

August in NYC is underrated because is gone, I think (?).

went to katz's deli last week on thursday at 12:30 expecting a gigantic line and there was no line at all. waltzed right in and had the best pastrami i've ever tasted. the cutter told me they use flank steak, which i found surprising. split the sandwich and even half was too much.

Flank steak for a pastrami sammich?  That's . . . odd.  Kinda like chicken al pastor.

Sir, the sandwich suggests he was trying his damnedest to make the best out of a bad situation. Perhaps he was required to be in Norman, on account of some court order or community service obligation.

Back in Norman.  Just passing through this time. But had to reprise the Del Rancho Steak Sandwich Supreme. Full size this time. 20241226_165104.thumb.jpg.11d705ff126a1652951d4995f6df2889.jpg

No doubt the finest steak sandwich in the nation, but I would put it in my sandwich mt Rushmore.  It is that good.  I get one every trip up seeing the kids.  Del Rancho in Texas would get Franklin type lines.
