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.

You should try one. I had a good one in LA a couple of years ago, but I forget where.

I’ll set up the first vote now.

Chop cheese sandwich actually looks a lot tastier than the name would imply.

[suzzer99]

This one hurt. I love fish sandwiches. But I gotta go with French dip.

[suzzer99]

I’m going with Chinese hamburger because I can’t stand tuna melts.

[suzzer99]

I’m fucking hungry now.

[RiskyFlush]

If @moderators could change out the banner for this new sandwich competition

[MCG]

I’m the exact same

[JimHammer]

Liverwurst > chicken salad

Good braunschweiger is very tasty. And I’m counting it as a form of liverwurst.

Chop cheese > PB&J

I think PB&J love is mostly nostalgia and I’m never paying for one.

Monsieur > Madame

Adding an egg just seems like fps.

The rest

Something I’ve eaten > something I’d never heard of, and a couple of no brainers.

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.
