The best sandwiches in America
New York Post ^ | January 9, 2017 | By Lauren Rothman

Posted on 01/09/2017 12:39:51 PM PST by Brad from Tennessee

When it comes to snacking, meal times and everything in between, there’s one thing Americans can all agree on: the sandwich is king. Whether these stacked-bread behemoths are served up at the best breakfast restaurants in America, the best BBQ restaurants in America or are some of the secret menu items across America, we can’t get enough bacon-egg-and-cheeses, beef briskets, Italian subs, classic pastrami on rye bread or spicy pork banh mi. So, the next time the craving strikes, hit up these spots to indulge in some of the best sandwiches in America.

1. Pastrami at Katz’s Delicatessen in New York, NY.

Don’t we all feel like Meg Ryan in “When Harry Met Sally” when eating one of these babies? Perhaps the most classic sandwich in America, Katz’s juicy, sliced-to-order pastrami has been perfected over more than a century, since back in 1888 when the classic Lower East Side deli was founded. Slathered with mustard, perched on chewy rye and accompanied by sour pickles, this is a NYC must-eat. $19.95 . .

A cheeseburger from The Sub Shop in Boone NC. The only venue brave enough to display a massive painted marijuana leaf prominently in the building. The locals had “no idea” even though the sheriff was trafficking Foscoe Gold leaf from his house.

Chili, slaw, mustard and onions. Bose 901’s playing 95Q album hour. Awesome. I ate 4 of them while brown bagging a 8 pack of Bud (dry county) listening to Little Feats “Waiting for Columbus” when it debuted.

For anyone who loves a good bologna sandwich, especially with sharp country hoop cheese (look it up if unfamiliar, very pungent, great with a fresh apple, melted on apple pie or in a sandwich), or a homemade pimento cheese sandwich, if you’re ever out in the country in northwestern North Carolina, head over toward Danbury and Hanging Rock State Park. In Danbury, on Sheppard Mill Road, you’ll find an awesome throwback, an old country store with a lunch counter, just at a crossroad, nothing else around for miles. You won’t regret it, the place is run by the mayor of Danbury, and her family have run the place for going on a hundred years.

Anyone notice that the locations of all of these sandwich joints are in liberal bastions?

Since I would never visit one of these places, I guess I miss out. Shucks.

*** Peanut butter and onions. Slice an onion by an amount roughly equal to a beef patty, then enclose in slices of bread lavishly slathered with peanut butter. Enjoy! ***

I haven’t even tried it yet and I already have heartburn ... I love Onions but suffer a 30 minute heartburn where I ask “Why did I do that?” and yet no matter what kind of Onion, I will chow down and enjoy the crunch ... (small price to pay)

I’m sure I will like it, at first and then suffer and do it again. ;^0

Day in and day out it is probably a Reuben. A ham and swiss cheese can be good too. Like most things the quality of the ingredients makes a big difference.

[Mom’s baked beans and mayo on white bread. A guilty pleasure from childhood that Mom’s family ate growing up in the great depression.]

I like to add a slice of onion—Bermuda if I have one.

They are hilarious! I watched them at Christmas. They described scrapple as the American version of haggis.

There are a lot of Depression era throwback foods that are actually pretty good. Both my parents were born in the early Depression years and pretty much grew up in it, if you consider WWII part of the Depression. Most who experienced it do.

Wild greens like Creasies (wild watercress), Poke Salad (young shoots only, fully grown are toxic), Dandelion greens can be very nice in mixed green salads, sort of peppery tasting.

Creative use of leftovers, making them into something a little different that still tastes good, was a Depression era art. Make extra mashed potatoes. Refrigerate the leftovers. For breakfast, mix in chopped onion, form patties, flip them in flour and fry them up in bacon grease. Awesome, better than hash browns. Meat loaf sandwiches are good, collard sandwiches grilled in a skillet with butter are good. All manner of things.

We don’t know what we missed, when food was really appreciated. We have it too easy, I think.
