OFFICIAL - Top Sandwiches as determined by CCS

[dennehy]

Best thing about Bari is grabbing a sub and walking over to D'amato's for a cookie or canoli and maybe a slice for later on.

It's cool going down there, kinda out of a different time. I haven't been in a long time, don't live in Chicago anymore.

A hotdog is not a sandwich, and nobody anywhere should ever, ever use the phrase "hot dog sandwich" again.

No sane human being has ever referred to a "hot dog sandwich".

i sure could go for a nice hot dog sandwich right now. do you have any hot dog sandwiches?

bread + meat = sandwich in most sane peoples minds.

26 posts in and no one has mentioned the hot pastrami on rye, the only savory sammy That I don't put cheese on.

well if a hotdog isnt a sandwich, that italian brisket with a side of bread isnt either. its just italian bbq

Yeah, they just opened one in Westchester too. Not quite on Bari level imo but very good.

Where's it at in Westchester? I'm close to that area too.

Now that it is OFFICIAL...I really had to think.

As this is Chicitysports.com, my Top 5 are all Chicago based.

5. "Sultan's Market" (Wicker Park) - Despite never doing the Vegan thing...I got hopelessly addicted to falafel. This joint wins out for not only doing a great falafel sandwich, but absolutely nailing the lentil soup as the perfect side.

4. "Rocky's Tacos" (Rogers Park) - This place is not only ridiculously close to my house, but has the most ridiculously large Torta menu I have ever seen. Seriously, Google it. I will give the award to "La Maradonna". Slow cooked seasoned pork, ham, cheese and pineapple. Big flavor for the big bread they hand you. Open way late to ensure I will never go tortaless in this life.

3. "Romanian Kosher Sausage Company" (Rogers Park) - Just a couple of blocks from my torta fix is this other gem of the hood. A very old Kosher deli. I am usually getting my meats to go, but you can get simple sandwiches as well. The Romanian Pastrami sandwich is just pastrami on a Polish Rye with a bit of lettuce and mustard. I make it at home so often...I might be 15% Jewish by now.

2. "Miller's Pub" (South Loop) - I wanted to include the Italian Beef sandwich, but that was kinda "too Chicago". The French Dip sandwich is found more widely and Miller's takes it to the next level by using their incredibly good Prime Rib over a classic roast beef. I would eat it three times a day for the next six months my heart would survive if I really wanted to off myself right.

1.) "J.P. Graziano's" (West Loop) - The kind of place you almost don't want to say anything about because it feels like you are in on a secret going there by the warehouse like exterior (see below). The Italian Sub is everything I want in a sandwich...the "house special" here is the GOAT Italian sub. All the best ingredients that they use more to win over wholesale buyers than compete with lame chain sub joints.

Easy Tally Ballot:

1. Italian Sub
2. French Dip
3. Pastrami on Rye
4. Ham & Cheese Torta
5. Falafel Sandwich

Great post, very specific, well done. That said what kind of a brain dead fucktard puts lettuce on a pastrami sammy?

Italy has nothing to do with pastrami. Eastern European Jews have everything to do with pastrami.

I had a slice of pizza today, folded it in half to make a pretty darn fine sandwich for lunch.

I just had some Taco sandwiches for dinner. They were leftovers, so they weren't nearly a top 5 sandwich.

wtf is a meatloaf sandwich? Wouldn't that technically just be a burger?

No. Its liklike a meatball sandwich but instead of balls its slices.

 

[Hawkeye OG]

No. Its liklike a meatball sandwich but instead of balls its slices.

But meatloaf isn't a ball. It's a loaf. So a meatloaf sandwich is sliced meatloaf in between a bun. Sounds like a burger

Do u bake your burger patties? Do u put bread and egg into your ground beef to make your patties? Onion and peppers in all that, all diced up?
