Forget who piles pastrami highest or fits the most varieties of cold cuts on one hero roll. A great sandwich means more than just bigger, better, and meatier. Across the country, a new breed of sandwich artisans is taking lunchtime to a whole new level...

Is your name Dagwood?
Ha! No, though I *do* seem to have this habit of always running late and an affinity for napping on the couch.
BLT and/or Reuben.
The kid and I hav been having wraps this week. Guess that counts as a sandwich.
Chipotle wrap, chipotle mayo, deli peppercorn turkey, cheese, fresh garden tomatoes, fresh garden lettuce (both grown at home), avocado, jalapenos and kid likes fresh refrigerator pickles on his. I have the pickles on the side.
Another favorite. My version of a BLT. Ciabiatta or some other fancy/shmancy bread, toasted, pancetta, mizuma or arugula from the garden, tomatoes from the garden and a garlic mayo.
Years ago, I dreamed of opening a sandwich shop. Still love to create special creations for the family.
I don’t like to over complicate a sandwich. Lately I have been doing a Texas style mesquite smoked BBQ brisket sandwich on an onion bun with KC masterpiece BBQ sauce and diced red onions as the only condiments. It’s real good. I like it with my homemade apple wine. Last summer it was grilled chicken on a toasted bun with sauteed jalapenos, mushrooms, and green/red peppers and mayo. also very good. also good with apple wine.
LISTER: No, I want a triple fried egg butty with chili sauce and chutney.
RIMMER: (Managing to sit down in a chair.) Me too.
LISTER: Well no problem then. Nothing’s too good for the deathday boy.
RIMMER: Correct! (Punches air.)
LISTER: Hol, Hol!
HOLLY appears on screen with a nightcap on.
LISTER: Hol, give us something to eat.
HOLLY: You what? I’m jiggered man.
LISTER: Oh come on. You don’t sleep.
HOLLY: Course I do. I’ve got to offline. I can’t keep up my full tilt, full power, red hot, maximum pace all the time. I’ve got to take the odd breather, haven’t I?
RIMMER: I want a triple fried egg sandwich with ...
LISTER: With chili sauce and chutney.
HOLLY: You what?
LISTER: It’s a state of the art sarny.
HOLLY: It’s the state of the floor I’m worried about. Alright, OK.
RIMMER holds up his hand and the much discussed food item appears in it.
LISTER: Wow, trust me!
RIMMER takes a bite and a succession of expressions are seen on his face. He ends up at something like a mixture of pain, horror and shock. He may be drunk but he’s still got pain receptors.
RIMMER: I feel like I’m having a baby!
LISTER: It’s good innit?
RIMMER: It’s incredible. Where did you get the recipe from?
LISTER: I can’t remember. I think it was a book on bacteriological warfare.
RIMMER: It’s like a cross between food and bowel surgery.
LISTER: (Nodding) It’s well naughty. The trouble is you’ve got to eat it before the bread dissolves.
RIMMER: I could never invent a sandwich like this, Lister. You see all the ingredients are wrong. The fried eggs: wrong; the chutney: wrong. The chili sauce: all wrong. But put them together and somehow it works. It becomes right. It’s you — this sandwich, Lister, is you.
LISTER: What are you saying to me, Rimmer?
RIMMER: You’re wrong, right? All your ingredients are wrong. You’re slobby, you’ve got no sense of discipline, you’re the only man ever to get his money back from the Odour Eater people, but people like you, don’t you see? That’s why you’re a fried egg, chili, chutney sandwich.
Reuben in the winter, BLT in the summer!!!
I am so stealing your BLT version. I have some homemade aioli in the fridge. Would go great with that.
Don’t give up on your sandwich shop dream.
Pea samich
Tomato and mayo on toast...salt and pepper...more on the peeper side...nom nom nom!
Or a "Plazaburger" if you have the misfortune to find yourself in Madistan, WI.
Half the sandwich at twice the price. They do have fancy names like starbuck though.
Wow, they all look and sound positvely thigh inspiring.
Check out the sidebar on the right of the first page about the 4 restaurants you’ll never get in. Can’t even imagine why anyone would even want to get in to any of them.
Yeah, but she wouldn't touch the Brussell Sprout sandwich herself, she just want's to make us, or at least our kids in their school lunch, eat it. She would be eating one of the other ones, (maybe more than one). With fries, a chocolate shake and diet coke of course.
#9 Westside Monte Cristo — Melt Bar & Grilled, Cleveland
Now THAT is a civilized sandwich among a mob of mongrels. Not so sure what is “new” about deep frying a Monte Christo, though. OTOH, they forgot to mention the mandatory raspberry dipping sauce on the side.
They did leave my two all time favorites off the list:
Dark rye thickly slathered with Limburger; then layered with sardines and slices of lightly salted Spanish onions;
a steak roll with mayo, crisp bacon, carmalized onions, and thin slices of fried venison liver.
The cardiac sandwich from this little place in East Hanover, NJ.
English muffin soaked in butter, 2 fried eggs, bacon, sausage patty, cheese and a hash brown.
One of the best things I ever ate. And I am pretty certain that 15 years later it is stuck to some piece of my colon.
