Caprese rocks. It’s a staple at any French boulangerie or similar French bakery in the states.

Monte cristo
Monte cristo is a fried sandwich with ham, turkey, Swiss cheese, and mustard dipped in beaten egg and pan-fried until golden and gooey for a delicious alternative to your usual ham and cheese sandwich. Topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup or berry jam.
Kentucky hot brown
Kentucky Hot Brown is an open-faced sandwich consisting of thick sliced toast with turkey, Mornay sauce, tomatoes, and bacon that is served hot.
Mornay sauce is a rich, velvety, white cheese sauce that’s made by melting grated cheese into béchamel sauce.
Béchamel is a French mother sauce made from butter, flour, and milk, and is the base for many other sauces.

Two of the weirder entries in tourney. I added descriptions for those not familiar. The rabbit hole went deep on Kentucky hot brown.

The polarizing BLT, the Floyd Mayweather of sandwiches, has entered the arena.
All in all an easy round for me. I liked a lot of the sandwiches, but there was a clear winner in each round.
Doesn’t matter. Even a very good meatloaf sandwich is taking an L against pulled pork.

That’s the spirit!
I’ve made grilled cheese for myself the last two days and thought to myself while flipping it last night, “I wonder what sandwich this will beat in the first round.”

To me pulled pork and meatloaf was a tough call. The conventional wisdom is obviously pulled pork but meatloaf was a staple of my youth and having meatloaf sandwiches the next day was amazing. I gotta swing the meatloaf, even if I am alone.
Shout out mom.
Tonkatsu sandos are real and they are spectacular (especially if served on good fluffy Japanese milk bread). Like many sandwiches that are based around a fried protein, they can vary a lot based on the execution of the fry, but I voted based assuming the version was at least as good as the one available at a 7-11 in Tokyo.
