Sandwich

I’m supposed to avoid gluten these days, but a banh mi is frequently on my mind

Baguette from our local bakery in Schinnen, they do the original French method, with tick sliced tomatoes, hard boiled eggs, home made mayo (whisked, no stickblender stuff), salt and pepper. Delicious.

Former chain of vegan subs out of SoCal named Subvegan had some of the best sandwhiches I have ever tasted, vegan or otherwise. Vegan deli meat and vegan cheese quality vary, but this place had the hookup for the best of both. A 9in sub was $12, loaded so fat it barely closed and was two meals worth for any normal person.

Their italian sub, the Godfather, had (vegan) turkey, ham, salami, provalone, cheddar, pepperoncini peppers, tomato, arugula, olives, onions, mayo, and italian dressing. The bread was always the perfect ratio of crunch to fluffy, their sauce portion was always on point, and their veggies were fresh as fuck. I salivate even just typing it out.

My fiancee and I would order in advance to have a sub waiting for us whenever we visited her family in Anaheim. It was the best. We started making plans in June to move out there so she could live near her parents and they closed their doors in July. Good vegan subs are a rarity, let alone vegan subs that stand out in quality against their non-veg counterparts. I am still in mourning.

A local Italian place has a hot turkey sub with Swiss & banana peppers that comes with a side of fries. It has fresh tomatoes & lettuce and is soaked in extra virgin olive oil. It’s so fuckin’ good.

Ultimate B-egg-el: everything bagel, garden veggie cream cheese, slice of sharp cheddar cheese, pickled beets, sprouts, arugula, it’s friday would you like a fried egg, vinagrette.

There’s a chain near me that makes a breakfast sandwich with eggs, bacon, white cheddar, a really excellent garlic aioli, and Ciabatta bread.

I go there way too much.

When I was younger there was a place that sold the most fucking bomb samosas. But more so, they sold a toasted cheese and chips

And it was fucking outrageously tasty.

When I was 14 i flew to california to visit my grandmothers place in sacremento. Down the street there was an ice cream shop/diner called Vic’s my grandmother would take me there every few days and I’d get their reuben. I don’t know what it was specifically about that reuben but I still think about it.

It was pretty heavy on the swiss cheese and there was a significant amount of beef. The saltiness from the cheese and beef mixed with the sour and slightly sweet of the thousand island and sauerkraut so perfectly and I had a chocolate milkshake and some ruffles too. The sandwich had been pressed and pan fried in butter too so it had a really nice crisp to it

This local lunch restaurant have what they call Mississippi club sandwich, with bacon, cream cheese, pesto, tomatoes and avocado. It’s a seriously great combination of flavors.

Home made: a Shooter sandwich.

I’m gonna go the other way with this one. I got a reuben on a pumpernickel bagel last week and they put thousand island and cream cheese and wet ass saurkraut on it and it was a soggy fucking mess and it ruined my lunch. I may never go back to that bagel place.

I was in Dingle, Ireland. We were walking around, enjoying the town, and popped into a pub I didn’t catch the name of. Their menu looked good, so we decided to get some food. I ordered the tuna melt, and it was the best damned tuna melt I have ever had. The fish tasted great, and there was very little dressing. The red Cheddar was perfectly melted, and the rye bread was toasted, but light.

This was almost 18 years ago, and I still think about that sandwich.

Some beach sandwich shop at the outer banks. Fuck that deli roast beef was incredible. 20+ years ago and I think about it still
