I feel like we've done this thread already.
My contribution to that one stands.
Thin sliced pork chops
ham
swiss cheese
very little mayo with a hint of siriachia mixed in. (new addition)
a nice deli mustard I like boars head
Sauerkraut
pickles
crusty french bread
A panini press

But I sanitize between postings.

Is this the point where I exhort the Powers That Be to merge this thread with mine?

I mean, I mean ... germane ... inclusive ... all that's scrumptious, delectable and droolingly delicious ... efficiency ... Gordon Ramsey.

I was just trying to create an outlet for all the deflections and derailments in the Alleged Rumors/Violations/Recriminations/IrishFootballArmeggedon thread while padding my vRiches.

Screw it.

I'll continue to let my freak flag fly and eat like a pauper and a king.

Typical big corporate attitude.

Always seems dry. Never a fan, what am I doing wrong?

As others have pointed out, you could do a little bit of cranberry sauce. A little stuffing perhaps. Really depends on what you like. For me, I like using regular white bread, mayo both sides, load up on the turkey, add salt and pepper, maybe add a little lettuce/tomato and enjoy. Nothing fancy on my end.

I like Gramma's thinking. Braunschweiger is a kissing cousin to Liverwurst. Both horseradish and mustard are pinnacles. Rye bread is one of the staffs of life. My question: sweet or dill relish?

I appreciate a sweet to balance the savory. This applies to the Reuben.

She uses sweet relish.

Bologna, A little Mayo, Kraft cheese slice and chips on white bread.

Peanut butter and jelly on white bread.

I don't eat either of these much anymore, but when I do it always brings back great memories of being a kid and they always taste great!

Love fried bologna sandwiches. The key is to fry it by itself, no oil. Popping it in the microwave doesn't do the trick. Also use fresh white bread. If you have a good bologna you don't need mustard or mayo.


I also like to make grilled cheese using a combination of swiss & colby or colby jack & american. Also provolone & american. I try different types of bread Rye, Oat, Pumpernickel, etc. Very tasty

Cuban sandwich. I love them so much that Chef is one of my 5 favorite movies.

Yes and yes. Great movie and great sandwich. I am a cuban connoisseur.

My favorite sandwich which I eat occasionally when I cook prime rib the night before is a slice of med rare prime rib (4-6 oz.) blackened, seared in a cast iron skillet until medium, add a slice of turkey, bacon, and any cheese to taste, greens, tomato, red onions and au jus. Sweet potato fries/chips

Not technically a sandwich, but I'll be a rebel. The Heart Attack Burger at the Ducktown Tavern in Atlantic City. A cheeseburger with: potato skins, fries, mozz sticks, onion rings, bacon, and corn poppers all on it. Plus a diet coke. Delicious.

I'd like to know what a cuban sandwich consists of. I know the question sounds stupid, but I recently ate at a local join and ordered the cuban. It was the best sandwich I've ever eaten. I usually don't go outside of my comfort zone for food when eating out. Usually its steak or burger. I did that day, and it was great.

This is their menu description of the sandwich:

Smoked pulled pork, grilled ham, diced pickles, Swiss cheese and spicy Dijon mustard smashed between 2 slices of a hoagie roll.

That's basically what it is. They changed the way the ingredients are prepared, but they're all there. It's traditionally: sliced roast pork, glazed ham, long sliced pickles, yellow mustard and swiss on cuban bread (which is pretty similar to a hoagie roll) and then pressed like a panini.

OK, I'll play...ham, salami, pepperoni and a little bit of oil/vinegar and mayo. Parm cheese with a touch of salt and pepper. On the side a scoop full of chips...any kind, I'm not picky with a pickle spear.

The veggies, no thank you.

  • Beef on weck w/ lots of horseradish.
  • BLT with fried green tomatoes (or regular tomatoes at peak of season and add a fried egg)
  • Roast Beef, radish sprouts, arugula, heirloom tomato, white bean spread w/ a little balsamic drizzle on a toasted batard or ciabatta
  • Grilled cheese with smoked gouda, cheddar or gruyere, provolone and parm

I make this variation of the Cuban - thin sliced roast pork, pastrami, sauerkraut, new pickle slices, swiss(just about any white cheese for that matter) and slathered with this spread(mayonnaise, sour cream, apple cider vinegar, and yellow mustard) Press the cuban bread in a hot frying pan so that the sandwich is crunchy toast on the outside and gooey on the inside. I find straight yellow mustard too overpowering, so I make my own dressing. New garlic, dill pickles that have not been in brine that long are best for this sandwich.

This. In Tampa, they like to add salami, but if you go anywhere else, it's pretty uncommon.

quite a while 3 hours or so (was game day saturday)..but there is a CVS next door so we bought beer, ice and a cooler..had music and turned it into a party. Was awesome.

Was with 4 others, so we ordered everything. Great experience. I wanna hit the Salt Lick (didn't have car before) and errrr... name eludes me, but it has some slamming smoked short ribs.

Going back '16 for ND game..

such an awesome city

Haha yeah, I just moved down here, but I had heard of Franklin's because of Chef. I came down two months ago to check out the town and make sure I actually wanted to move here. On that trip, I decided to go over and check out Franklin's to see how long the line would be 1.5 hours before they open and it was already too long. They had sent employees through the line to see if everyone would get their food or not. I hadn't planned on waiting in line, but man, it was weird to actually see that.

Hit me up when you come down in '16. If I'm still here, I'll see about pre-ordering some Franknlin's.

THAT'S the Media Noche I remember! I recall (though it's been quite a while so there may be some "fog" involved) that the press was flat, not ridged like a panini press.

Totally spaced on salami. Love a good hard salami on light rye with swiss and yellow mustard.

Another one of my favorites is pastrami and swiss on an egg bun. Usually change up the mustard's to give it a little variety.

Just remembered Italian sausage cooked with green peppers and onions. Then topped with spaghetti or pizza sauce and mozzarella or provolone.

Flat press. Yes. Pickle strips yes. Spicy mustard yes. Two forms of pork. Yes.

And you didn't bring some back for everyone else? "My IE buddy went to Italy and all I got was this lousy t-shirt!"

Can't beat Penn Station's Philly Cheese steak with everything on it: the beef, onions, peppers, mushrooms, provolone, pizza sauce, mayo, and mustard. So delicious...

*Disclaimer* I was not paid by Penn Station for that statement

If I'm making a sandwich at home I like doing some roast beef, salami, and swiss...melt the meat and cheese in the microwave first, then add miracle whip and mustard after the meat and cheese comes out. I usually don't like hot condiments.
