Scientists can’t come to definitive conclusions without experimentation.
Let me try an Italian sub on a rye sub roll. We need to test my hypothesis.

I was just in Vegas and trying to watch the Seahawks game last Sunday at the bar by the Orleans sportsbook. All the tables were taken so I asked to join a table that was 3 black dudes. It felt like I was in that scene. They spent an hour arguing about whether you’d want a fast or a quick receiver, but it took about 20 minutes to define what fast and quick was.
Was the highlight of the trip.

Good round!
The controversial Montreal smoked meat pulls the upset over lox bagel.
Heavy hitters Italian sub and Jewish deli pastrami pummel each other for 12 rounds, pastrami wins in a split decision.
Egg salad and cucumber slap each other with wet noodles.
Minced raw pork gets a tough draw, but also is hamstrung by the fact that it’s minced raw pork.
Heat 3 coming now!!!

Your #2 seed enters the tourney. Can shawararawarama pull off the Buster Douglass upset?
I like shawarma. Too bad it’s not a sandwich

Ham and cheese
I’m going with the infinitely superior grilled ham and cheese for this. Feel free to substitute your own variation.

Voting for bologna only because I don’t know what the other one is and while bologna doesn’t look good you can make a good bologna sandwich.
I contend that Tonkatsu is also not a sandwich
It’s meat between bread. How is it not a sandwich?
I voted tonkatsu because I never liked bologna.
In a stunning development, the ham & cheese vs. cemita voting is now closed. Sorry, glitch in the system. Can’t fix it now. Cemita wins.

Tonkatsu refers specifically to the cutlet that is breaded and deep fried. Its generally served either plain with sauce or in some kind of dish (typically ramen or a soup of some kind.)
I’m not sure I’ve seen a Tonkatsu sandwich in the wild.
Edit: Article contradicts me. I’ve just never seen one personally.
" Another popular variation, katsu sando or pork cutlet sandwich, is said to be originated from the Isen, a tonkatsu restaurant. In the 1930s, the manager of the Isen came up with the concept, then improved it by making the sandwich smaller so that its clientele of local geishas could enjoy it without wearing off their lipstick."
Well it was on the old-timey graphic that started the contest. So someone thinks tonkatsu sandwich exists.
FYI - the word sandwich is implied on a lot of the original 40 on the graphic. I just leave it off here because duh, it’s a sandwich competition.

Fried mortadella
it’s a mortadella sandwich, long story short you lightly fry the mortadella, melt some cheese (he recommended provolone), spread mayo/kewpie + spicy mustard on a toasted bun, done. He went with sourdough or a kaiser roll but I like it on a brioche too. The mortadella is thin and fries up nice with little crispy carmelized ridges, and mortadella has bits of pistachios and some have little flares of chili peppers too, but who cares, this is a basic meat & cheese combo that is basically a leveled-up fried bologna sandwich. LOL BLT

Pulled pork
(I personally enjoy the coolness of coleslaw against the salty acerbic pork. Purists may disagree. I am not a pulled pork expert.)
