My suggestion is to vote for the best typical version of this sandwich you’ve had. So if you had something at French Laundry called a deconstructed arepa or w/e, that might not count. But pastrami and Katz’s does count.
Also apparently not cheesesteak and Geno’s or Pat’s which have the most godawful cheesesteaks on the planet and only a total troglodyte would ever eat there.
I like tuna melts, and the Chinese hamburger was still a snap call for me. I’d slam two of those for lunch multiple times a week when I lived in China. Got them from a husband and wife who ran a little food cart. Wife made the bread and the husband cooked the meat and assembled the sandwiches.
