Went to New York Subs today, near Snyder Plaza.  It’s no Jimmy’s but it’s pretty damn good.  Better than any of the chains.

Wasn’t sure whether to put this under Dallas Italian or start a new Dallas Sandwich thread.  Can’t believe we don’t have a Dallas Sandwich thread so I went with that.

What else you got, Surly?  For sandwiches.

Yeah I know but she’s not in Dallas you dumbass.  This is a Dallas thread.

Always enjoyed Great American Hero off Lemmon. They used to have a store on this side of the world at Garland near Peavy.

Uncle Uber's is good shit. 

Damn you CBT.  I'd slit my own throat for that angus ribeye sandwich right now.  At least I think I would anyway.  I haven't had bread in three weeks.  I don't remember what sandwiches taste like.

Love this place!  

posrep for putting "dallas" in the title so i know this isn't one of the other boards while skimming the front page

Pops Grilled Cheese at Angry Dog with a bowl of Vegetable Chicken soup is a really good combo.

A favorite.  However, I don't think it's quite as good as it was in its original incarnation under Ken Harkness.

Some of you dustfarts may remember when it had a location on the Drag.

NY Subs is great for what it does. Best sandwiches in town can be found at Latin Deli or Uncle Uber's or Jimmy's Food Store.

My new favorite is the Banh Mi at the Sandwich Hag on S Lamar in the Cedars. Is just killer, the best Banh Mi I’ve had. 

Deli News makes a hell of a pastrami sandwich.

I haven't been personally but I'm told the best (which is of course at most relative) Cuban sandwich in town is at a place on Webb Chapel just south of Beltline.  Caribbean Cuba.

Cuban from Great American Hero. Would probably go double meat next time - but their pickles are fucking bomb.

I work across the street from here and gave it a try for the first time today.  It was a hell of a sandwich, will be going back frequently.

Hit me up next time you’re headed over there and we can both show Jimmy our love together...at the same time.

As long as it isn't raining I'm down lol

Which one is that?

BTW, I think I mentioned it at one point on this thread but the brisket and pimento cheese sandwich from The Meat Shop is incredible.

Looks like the meatball or italian sausage to me...with peppers and onions.

Meatball was my guess. As a side, those rolls would be perfect for cheesesteaks. I don't think they sell them in the store, though -- at least not unless you order the sandwich. Or do they?

Yes they will sell you just the rolls.  Or they did me the one time I tried anyway.  They’re not in their bread section.  You have to ask the deli

Eatzi's makes a great sandwich.  Love their Bone Bread.  And their roast beef is awesome.

Great sandwiches but you've got to halfsies on the bone bread -- lest you get 3-4 X's more sandwich than you need. Personally, I wish they'd do half versions of both their salads and sandwiches.

Go to at Eatzi's is the half roasted chicken with 2 sides for $10. It's like a meal and a half and I can usually get a couple lunches out of it if I'm eating on the lighter side. 

Not a huge fan of their sandwiches/salads but I have Great American Hero down the street if I'm needing a sub fix. And as we all know, you don't make friends with salad.

Jimmy's Hot Italian might just be the best sandwich on earth.  If it weren't so spicy, I might be tempted to put my dick in it.

Jimmy's Italian Stallion on white.  Maybe the second best sandwich on earth.  I wonder how many days in a row I can go trying a different sandwich from Jimmy's?

I've said it on here before I think, but I'd get the stallion every time if the bread wasn't so hit-and-miss.  That's why their cuban is such a sure thing.

Sandwich reminds of Hope Solo for some reason

Yeah, I think it's their baguette that's so hit and miss...mostly miss.  I quit using it.  I go with the white bread every time and it's always great.

How am I supposed to work that in if I'm doing a Jimmy's every sandwich on the menu marathon?

Those awesome Jimmy's sandwiches are classics, no argument here.

But, in the exact opposite direction and probably what I crave the most is the jambon buerre at Scardello's in the farmer's market.   It just a crusty baguette loaded with nice rosemary ham and so much french butter than I usually ask for half butter.   That's it.  No cheese.  No vegetables.  No dressings.  Nothing.  So simple and so perfectly good.

And a few steps away is the Banh Mi at Nammi.  This is the first banh mi I ever had, so it's still my favorite.

I love a good Mexican torta and getting one in Mexico is usually my favorite lunch on my trips down there.  I have not found an equivalent in Dallas, even in Oak Cliff.  I need to keep trying.

You tell me after I quit working across the street from Scardello's.

That sounds amazing.

Never had this one. I'll try to check it out soon

Damn those look great. Jimmys confirmed the tits.

Day 3...Italian Beef.  I normally swear by the white bread over the baguette (as mentioned up thread) but I should have gone with the baguette on this one.  It's got a ton of "gravy" on it and the bread was pretty soggy by the time I ate it.  I'm guessing the baguette would have help up better.  Still great though.  Easily in the top 3 best sandwiches I've had this week.

Had the prosciutto and mozzarella sandwich at Pizzeria Testa yesterday.

Solid. They use pizza dough to create a light and fluffy bun. Really tasty.

Met Lando at Stacks. Thrown together kind of last minute so I apologize DDD. Lando initially forgot about it anyways.

I got the fried green tomato/pimento cheese and it was OK, I guess. A little on the weird side (blue cornmeal baked into the bread). Lando got the BLT and it was pretty tasty but there was very little product in between the three slices of bread. We both got the tater-tot sides and they were a bit off-putting. Not very good at all. I'll give it another shot just to try the friend chicken and perhaps the brisket torta. Drink options were weird too.

Yeah sorry @DDD Dad I totally spaced that you wanted to join up.  Then I almost spaced going altogether.  But as @C-Man mentioned, you didn’t miss much.  It was pretty damn average if you ask me.  Let’s all try to do a surly makeup at Jimmy’s some day

No worries.  I had a hearing today so couldn't have done lunch anyway.  Hit me up for Jimmy's.  Almost went there yesterday but the wife didn't want to go there.  Passed on Come Tacos, too.  The things we do for love.

At least I got to try the Testa sandwich, which was a pleasant surprise.

Cool.  Jumped on here to specifically ask for a place that served pimento cheese.  I hated it growing up; however, I ate a more gourmet-style sandwich in Knoxville once and thought it was the best thing I'd ever eaten.  Gonna have to try this place.

The Corner Market on greenville has fantastic pimento cheese.

Latin Deli just opened a new location at Quorum/Arapaho within the last few weeks.
