FC/OT: CNN Travel’s 25 best sandwiches in the world…
- Thread starter Midnighter
- Start date
I'd refer you to a KY expert - Damaris Phillips, but I don't like her recipe. Plus she's become a vegetarian and isn't as cute and chunky anymore. Stick to the Brown Hotel version.
Still...
KY expert?
Kentucky, Bob. You aren't one of the guys leaving positive comments on the 50 gallon drums of personal lubricant on Amazon, are you? Please tell me no.KY expert?
@BobPSU92 is a chemist, he’s capable of making his own.
It wasn’t me either, in case anyone is wondering.
That's lots of goodness! The only one I'd shy away from is the sandwich with herring.

I like those two also but the Spanish sandwich with the Jamon on crusty bread with cheese & tomatoes interests me. Have you ever had a Mexican Torta sandwich? Not on the list but I like those.
Think they missed out on a good old fashioned BLT; otherwise good list. Montreal Smoked Meat and Reuben are similar, so bump one of them. Of all of them, the lobster roll is the most about ‘vibes’ - feel like you need a blueberry beverage of some sort and a lighthouse nearby to properly enjoy. Best I’ve ever had is The Lobster Roll in Montauk (same place as in ‘The Affair’). Ran into Josh Brolin there.
There are lots of good places on the Maine coast to get a great lobster roll. The best are the simplest - lobster, roll, and butter. no mayo or filler required.

I would never have imagined Public Enemy at a folk fest.
Antifragile in SC... their cheesesteak had one there last week and it was excellent..
Really tried to give it a chance. Way too much pepper. The meat is solid quality, the roll is solid. The cheese selection? ( grilled onion, peppers, sauce, mushrooms options unavailable ).
again, roll and meat are good quality, the rest is meh.
Yeah, didn’t mean to be so rough, I apologize. IMHO, the best cheese steak in State College is at Local Whiskey. Shaved Ribeye, great roll, variety of cheese, etc.
I do enjoy going to Antifragile to have a beer and a sandwich with my neighbor. I just ask for it the way I want it.
The vibe is certainly one of the best in town.
I watch a lot of YouTube vids on cooking. Josh Weissman had a "tournament" for sandwich's across the world (field of 12).
He has the Vietnamese Banh Mi vs. Philly cheese steak in the finals.
Not a big fan of Banh Mi; wouldn’t make my top 20. One that should be on the list though is a popular German fest sandwich - the schwenkbraten. It’s a marinated grilled pork sandwich usually served with grilled onions on a roll (doesn’t need anything else). Maybe @kgilbert78 has had one….?
I will say the German by way of Turkey doner kebab is unrivaled post pub fare. Place I loved in Heidelberg topped with hot sauce and jalapeño. Tremendous.

Great call. Man, I want some mustard on that.........................
Nope--haven't had that. I do like Bahn Mi's tho. And doners. I miss doners.Not a big fan of Banh Mi; wouldn’t make my top 20.

When I signed up, "m.knox" was evidently taken. We'll see what happens on 7/1.
And while not best in the world, some honorable mentions from Japan:
Yakisoba Pan
It's basically the delicious stir fried noodle dish yakisoba (sweet/savory/spicy) on a hot dog bun. Can add whatever proteins you like. When I lived in Japan, yakisoba was my go to.
Tamago Sando (Egg Sandwich)
These are staples at convenience stores and are basically egg salad sandwiches minus the mustard, bacon, lettuce,, etc. It's just eggs, Japanese mayo (Kewpie - which is the best and easy to find in US), some salted butter, and Japanese milk bread. Very satisfying.

IMO the greatest American sandwich is the BLT. 2 is the Philly Cheesesteak. 3. Po Boy 4. New York sub/hoagie 5. Diner Club 6. KC BBQ 7. Grilled Cheese 8. Parm Meatball 9. Ham and cheese on rye with brown mustard 10. Hamburger on a grill
