What is the best sandwich?

Watching the Colbert Questionnaire, "What is the best sandwich?" is his opening question.


Love me a good Italian sandwich.

Faicco's in NYC.
Proscuitto, ham, capicola, soppressata, fresh mozzarella, lettuce, tomatoes and roasted peppers.

Is it one of these? Yeah, this is bullshit, right?

There's too much going on in this sandwich for me. I'm a simple guy. Just give me my meat of choice, cheese of choice, lettuce, onion, and whatever sauce I'm feeling at the time.
 
My favorite: Pastrami. On sourdough, add mayo, brown mustard, lettuce, tomato, onion, Provalone cheese, and a double helping of pastrami. It’s the best!

And buy it in New York... Kat's Deli, Liebman's or Eisenberg’s.

Locally, Woodside Deli used to rock, but sold out. Downtown Willow Glen there's La Villa (getcha some Ravs to Go while your at it!), check out Palermo on Auzerais.

I went to New York once and bought two pastrami sandwiches for the flight back. I got them from the Carnegie Deli. The looks we got from people on the plane when we started eating were priceless.

Been there a few times- decades ago when they rocked- love the communal seating. I'd not pass it up to be sure.
 
Definitely worth a visit for the great sandwiches and the chaotic vibe. When I was there I got to see two folk behind the counter, both carrying trays heavy with food and drinks, turn around simultaneously and collide, sending the contents of both trays across the floor. Fun times.
 
The Reuben is my favorite, followed by a new england style grinder with hot roast beef and swiss cheese.
 
My local supermarket used to have a fantastic sandwich because of the bread they used. There’d be a big line every weekend and then they stopped providing that bread.
Took months to find out why. Seems people were dropping by just to buy sandwiches which we’re taking sales from other items. There’s no more line for sandwiches but they’re make more money on other products so sticking with it.

Didn't/don't they have a massive plate of dill pickles on every table? Maybe it was olives, too many brain cells ago.

I like it too, just don't dig sauerkraut (on or in anything) but that's easy to have them "hold" it.

I can’t recall. It’s been more than 40 years since I was there.
