Sandwich bracket interest thread!

Fry that sucker up and I’m game.

Iowa State concessions serves an amazing corndog.

Bourdain’s favorite sandwich is super tasty and takes five minutes to make:

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

Seconded.

Do we have a bacon egg and cheese biscuit yet? Could substitute sausage for the weirdos.

a good sausage patty with some spice >>> bacon
come at me

This is really quite simple. Bacon sausage egg and cheese biscuit>bacon or sausage egg and cheese biscuit. Bacon and sausage do their seperate parts.

The absence of meatball subs itt so far makes me question all of you! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

I should get my son, former Jersey Mike’s cheesesteak maker, in on this. Tap into his sandwich expertise.

Agree.

Also I am a big corndog fan but I’d never consider it a sandwich.

In a past life I managed a subway (back when they cut the subs with the canoe cut to give you an idea how long ago) and one year I won the provincial speed sub making contest. Lost in nationals though. lol.

But Subway sandwiches are the absolute most brutally boring sandwiches I’ve ever encountered.
It’s about impossible to concoct a something good from those dull ingredients they offer without throwing a ton of banana peppers at it.

Agree. It’s the nut low of sub places.

Is there a gluten free option available?

There are lots of varieties of arepas, I’ll nominate Colombian arepas de huevos.

Arepas are a good one, love those. Guess I pretty much love anything that uses corn.

It’s literally the most prominent sandwich on the whole graphic.

Both of these are on the list as the same entry. Pick whichever you like best.

FWIW, I think this is a mistake. I think the ceiling is obviously important, but the floor and consistency are important, too. Basically, “If I go in to a good, but unfamiliar, restaurant and order this sandwich, how good is it going to be?”.

I don’t give a shit if the best meal of your life was a bologna sandwich at Alinea - it doesn’t make a bologna sandwich good.

Nope, we’re arguing about the best version. Arguing about floors and consistency is dismal. I want to know when this sandwich really shines.

I’m pretty sure most voters will not substitute some fine dining take on a bologna sandwich for just simply the best standard bologna sandwich you can get. So that’s not an edge case I’m worried about.
