Kids... If 24 is still a kid, then I don't know how old you have to be to be an adult.

And the chicken... the bacon... the lettuce... drowned in honey mustard...

About mid-40's, if my life is any measure...

But I'll trump that sammich with just about any Gyro made on the Danforth by real Greeks, or a genuine Philly Cheese Steak from, of all places, Philly.

But the fact is, the Best Sandwich In the World [BSITW] is the one you get when you're really, really hungry.

Mal's Market in Seaside CA, home of the bomber. Garlic spread and Jalepeno spread make it special.

Then of course there's Compagno's in Monterey, my goodness those are tasty.

Besides a good Reuben or Philly Steak&Cheese, these are my favorites from a local quality establishment:
*Tuna Steak Sandwich with Wasabi Vinaigrette
*Crab Cake Sandwich topped with Old Bay Aioli
*Teriyaki Chicken Breast Sandwich with Swiss and Bacon

Here is the recipe for another all-time favorite:
:drool:Monte Cristo Sandwich:drool:
Monte Cristo Sandwich is served with currant jelly sauce. First prepare this, then make the batter. While it is chilling, put together the sandwiches. When the sandwiches are fried, the complete service is ready.

Currant Jelly Sauce:
2/3 c. currant jelly
1 TB water
1 TB half and half
Combine jelly, water and half and half in blender and mix until smooth. Makes about 3/4 cup.

Batter:
2/3 c. water
1 small egg
1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. white pepper
few drops yellow food coloring
2/3 c. all-purpose flour
1 3/4 t. baking powder
Place water, egg, salt, pepper and food coloring in a bowl and using an electric mixer, mix well at low speed. Add flour and baking powder and mix until batter is smooth. Chill. Makes enough for 4 sandwiches.

Sandwiches:
8 slices white bread
4 slices turkey (1 oz. each)
4 slices swiss cheese
4 slices Pullman ham
Make 4 sandwiches, putting cheese between hand and turkey. Cut into fourths and put a toothpick through each quarter.
Final Preparation:
soybean or vegetable oil for frying
Confectioners' sugar
currant jelly sauce
Heat about 6-inches of oil to 340F in a fryer. Dip sandwiches in batter to cover all surfaces. Deep fry sandwiches until golden brown, turning as needed. Remove from oil, take out toothpicks, sprinkle sandwiches with confectioners' sugar. Serve with currant jelly sauce.

:think: In a pot with fresh oil. :confused: Was that supposed to be a trick question?

People fry stuff clear across Dixie every single day w/o industrial-sized or commercial-grade stainless steel vats -n- baskets.

Monte Cristo Sammich

Ingredients:

8 slices brioche bread (about 1/4-inch thick)
1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup Creole or other whole-grain mustard
16 thin slices Capicolla sausage (or ham or whatever meat you want)
12 thin slices Swiss cheese
2 large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream (35% - like whipping cream)
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

How-To

Preheat the griddle.

Brush one side of each piece of brioche with butter. Spread the other half with mustard.

On four slices of bread, mustard side up, lay a piece of cheese.

Place two slices of sausage on top of the cheese. Lay a piece of cheese over the sausage.

Top each pile with the remaining bread, mustard side down.

In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and cream together.

Season with salt and pepper.

Dip sandwiches in the egg mixture and place on a hot griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted.

I thought a Monte Cristo was basically a ham and cheese sammich using French toast for bread.

OGRipper
08-23-2006, 03:22 PM
Monte Cristo would have to be up there as one of the most satisfying, but I agree it's gotta be battered and fried...if not, could still be good but well it's something else.

I will also vote for a good patty melt, with well-carmelized onions and griddled until the cheese melts.

Or an excellent hot pastrami sammy with cole slaw and thousand isle on rye from a proper Manhatten deli. The best of those rule all, but it's not easy to find a good one out here.

Of course, can't forget one of my fave trail foods: Almond butter, banana, and honey on whole grain.

Used to be a place in Laguna Beach, CA, that named their sandwiches after famous people, this was back in the '70s. An Elizabeth Taylor was Turkey Breast, Cranberry, Sprouts on Squaw (think about it). An Uncle Sam was Red Cabbage, White Tuna, Blue Cheese. A Don Rickles was Tongue, Horseradish on Jewish Rye. A Lyndon Johnson was Baloney on White and a Richard Nixon was a surprise, you never know what you'll get.

There's a Polish deli nearby that makes a damn good Italian with procuitto, capacola, and this unbeliveable imported smoked salami. Add some leaf lettuce, onions, hot peppers, mustard, and a little oil = :drool:

Philly, Patty Melt, or Rueben. I made a couple Ruebens for dinner last week when my wife and kid were out of town. Yummy.

I had this turkey and swiss on rye in some little out of the way deli in Maryland one time that I remember to this day...

Boar's Head isn't "good" meat...just Sysco's "premium" meat, fyi.

The best meats for sammiches will typically come from local meat companies, however, a degree of sketch typically comes with that.

Last week we made some killer pork carnitas sammiches with a roast we had sitting on the Mr. Induction for a good 6 hours.

Too bad the resident culinary expert got fired and I can't make more...

Honorable mention? The Reuben at Jewish Mother's in Virginia Beach, VA.

Hahahaha! I have had that very sandwich at that very establishment many times. I had a buddy who used to live about midway between the Hampton Coliseum and the old "Cowboys" Bar there in VA Beach...the one for Dallas Cowboys fans that had a VW beetle always parked out front all done up in the silver and blue. We used to go to the Jewish Mother all the time after a day of beach inebriation for laid back jazz and the only place for miles and miles you could order a Mackesson Triple Stout. :cool:

I completely forgot breakfast sandwiches. I have had many fuzzy mornings where a greasy egg sammy was professed to be the best ever. Hows about an egg over easy with ham, cheese, and onions on a griddled onion roll? You know, the kind where you bite into it and the yolk breaks? Oh damn...

Yep, I had a Primantis the night before I left for Monkeyfest! Primanti's makes some of the best Samiches!

all of these people are quoting subs, and grinders, are they samiches? if so, a local joint in Oakland (right in the heart of the Pitt campus) called "Uncle Sams Subs" will deliver you a damn good sub, prolly the best I have ever had!

Maybe "premium" is defined differently in another dictionary?

Then again, considering the source of the above quote, it's pretty funny that someone from the land-o-bland and weak beer might consider themselves a culinary expert.

Let me reiterate:

Sysco=Crap

Therefore, we can say that

Premium Sysco Meat=Premium Crap Meat
