Best Sandwich Poll:

My favorite is Katz's pastrami on rye with swiss. Each sandwich is always as fresh as can be and it is quite simply one of the best things I've ever eaten. The pastrami is like butter, baby.

You and Mr. Man should talk pastrami. I think he is partial to 3rd Street (?) in NY over Katz's, but he has done a lot of investigation of this subject.

As for my favorite sandwich, I'm not sure but the double dip beef at Philippe's (purported originator of the french dip sandwich) is right up there. http://www.philippes.com/

It was served in my high school snack bar and I still make it at home.

Grilled english muffin or bagel (both work) with swiss and cheddar cheese and a little sauerkraut in between (grilled side facing out) and you dip it in ketchup. It's got to be grilled in a ton of butter. Sounds odd. But it's great.

This weekend, while I was doing work (and trying not to blow my brains out in the process), I had the teevee on and caught this show that you will like:

They visited Katz's among other places.

You can buy the DVD here or maybe catch on your local station sometime.


Here is a list of the sandwiches.

My favorite sandwich is the heart of palm with swiss cheese and arugula and a vinaigrette on a chibatta at Brasil Cafe at Westheimer and Dunlavy.

My boyfriend loved Phillippe's sandwiches. He promised to take me the next time we go to LA. There's an Anthony Bordain No Reservation clip from Phillippes, and my boyfriend, his then girlfriend and a friend were sitting in the background while they shot the clip. They were there that day to celebrate the end of passover with a pork sandwich.

Might be a tie between pastrami on rye with mustard from a NYC deli (forget which one) and The Good Earth's cashew chicken sandwich. Can't find a photo but it is a really good chicken salad sandwich served open-faced on multigrain bread with melted cheese and cashews. Yum.

Living in MN now, I'd take a really good pastrami over chicken salad any time because I can make chicken salad but can't do my own hot pastrami like the NYC delis.

this may be out on a technicality- Bread Basket Deli in Oak Park Mi- the "Ronnie's That's My Deliight." Deli thick corned beef, and it seems like the opposite of lean, sauerkraut and latkes for bread. Not a healthy choice but really good.

I'm just not sure if a sandwich requires bread.

Suddenly the soup I was planning to have for lunch is losing its appeal. I may have to go for what passes for a Jewish deli here in MN. Or to another place that has a pretty good tuna cashew melt sandwich. Aargh.

TM, you are a cruel man!

I'll meet you guys there next time you are in town. On an entirely different sandwich note, I'm currently obsessed with the grilled cheese at a neighborhood lounge (Beechwood, though I'm sure none of you know it):

brioche, fig paste, truffle pecorino, gruyere, humboldt fog goat cheese

Amazing. I also had two or three appetizer squares of a grilled strawberry jam, cashew paste and bleu cheese sandwich a few nights ago at Fig (new restaurant in the Fairmont Santa Monica). Delicious. This has lead to a few slightly less successful sandwich experiments at home recently.

Thank you. I knew I wasn't right, but I was too lazy to google. Speaking of that place, we missed it last time we were in town (and had to settle for Katz's instead) because they've moved it uptown. One would think that 2nd Avenue would be on 2nd Avenue, no?

Really? We're assuming I have $500,000 liquid?

How about the recently closed ChinaLite on Southport? Or anywhere on Clark?

The Tastee is gone too. I don't know if Tommy's Lunch is still around...I ate more cheesesteaks there than I care to think about.

I'll give a few runners up.

The Carnegie Deli's Bagel and Lox (but with the Bialey instead of Bagel). I've had better lox on occassion, but I don't get to NY much and when I do Carnegie is usually close and consistent. Since I consider the Bagel and Lox the height of NY cuisine, suggestions for other locations are always welcome.

When my sister was at Tulane, there was a little shack basically on the street serving the best Shrimp Po'boy I have ever had. Absolutely incredible.
