[Hudson]

Several places for a good pork sandwich in Philly.

Didn't start eating them till about 5-6 years ago, but nothing beats a good pulled pork sandwich.

[NoSurviivors]

Get a fat cat in New Brunswick

or a cuban sammich in Perth Amboy, or a fuckin porkrolleggncheez just about anywhere BUT the neighborhood I'm working in in NY. :mad4:

ed: I'm getting chest pains just thinkin about a fat cat tho. mmmmmmmmmmm

[mascan42]

For my money, the best burger I ever had was at Burger Boys of Brooklyn, in the old Fulton Fish Market at South Street Seaport. Unfortunately, the market, and its second floor food court, are both gone now.

[Sinn Fein]

Like most list, this one sucks for the most part with a few exceptions.

Wow, a double post 7 minutes later . . . how's that 14.4 modem workin' out for ya?

[Hoagie]

Yeah it's the typical "too cool for the room" list comprised mostly of sandwiches trying to be fancier then actually good and then they balance it out with a few fast food sandwiches to try and give the "every man" feel. Anyone who has ever had an old italian hoagie from Sarcone's deli knows what the best sandwich is.

[NoSurviivors]

I'll let you know in another seven minutes.

no hogie listed, or cheese steak,


list is bogus and deserves nothing


good day sir

Italian Beef
Al’s #1 Italian Beef, Chicago

The stockyard special: thinly sliced beef on bread from the 122-year-old Gonella bakery, enhanced by giardiniera, a fermented vegetable relish made with hot peppers and celery. You could buy the ingredients and study the method, but it ain’t gonna taste like Al’s. (1079 West Taylor Street; 312-226-4017)

whole heartedly disagree. als is good but no one beats mr.beef

A pipe’s length of kielbasa is wrapped in a bun and mounded with french fries, then dressed with coleslaw and barbecue sauce.

blasphemy

[Hudson]

I want to go to that Prismanti's again...it was good.

My Favorite though is the Turkey, Egg, and Cheese on a Salt Bagel with mayo from Bagels International in Bradley Beach..it will take ten years off your life ..but worth it for taste and a hangover helper.

[Capt.Caveman]

a #5 jimmy t from lenny's in nyc is a lil slice of heaven

[PCLoadLetter]

Gotta agree with you on this one, Fez Man.

But DAMN, some of those sandwiches look good....

[stevethrower]

What no scallop roll... jeebus...

[Hudson]

What no scallop roll... jeebus...eww, Scallops taste like pencil erasers:action-sm:action-sm:action-sm

[BIV]

Nice to see a couple of Seattle places represented. I'm dying to try that cuban meat sandwich. Have to mention, if you are in the Bellevue area, specifically south Bellevue near the Factoria neighborhood, it's worth your time to look up a sandwich shop called Goodfellas. The Pastrami is piled thick an high. All the sandwiches there are great, though.

Love me a Pastrami on sourdough with red onions, Bacon and Mayo.....Heaven.

This entry should be noted:
Roast Pork with Provolone

John’s Roast Pork, Philadelphia

Although the area looks like a good place to dump a body, when John’s opened in 1930 the shipyards were bustling, and the place still keeps day-laborer’s hours: 6:45 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The cheesesteak is the best in town, but your first time, get Philadelphia’s sleeper signature sandwich, the roast pork with shards of provolone. Only the large size comes on a seeded roll from Carangi Bakery, the perfect texture to absorb the juices without falling apart. The meat and cheese meld together while retaining flavor and texture -- molecular gastronomy at its finest. (14 East Snyder Avenue; 215-463-1951) --Francine Maroukian


And Hogies are kind of a dime a dozen. I can think of a half dozen places off the top of my head that serves a good hogie.

[Capt.Caveman]

BBOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


This list sucks, i've been to brennans, it's a regular PEC go to Slaters and get a Porkroll egg and cheese. it's an instant heart attack or get the slaters slider. bacon, porkroll, sausage, ham and 4 eggs on a sub roll. artery clogging goodness

[FAZ8218]

The White House is great. Almost as good as Sarcone's.

Lazy Philly workers + no enclosed waiting area, I presume.

Where is Sarcone's? I've heard about it before.

I call shenanigans. There's not always a line. I've been down there plenty of times and there's no line. We've walked right up to the order window and placed our orders without having to wait at all whatsoever.

This list left off three great sandwiches, courtesy of the Rutgers Grease Trucks.


FAT DARRELL: Two chicken fingers, two mozzarella sticks, french fries and marinara sauce.

FAT PHILLY: Two chicken fingers, cheesesteak, gyro meat, two mozzarella sticks, white and red sauces, lettuce and tomato.

FAT CAT (the original): Two cheeseburgers, fries, lettuce, tomato, ketchup, mayo.

[Budyzir]

Pastrami sandwich from the Carnegie Deli .... Hhhhhhmmmmmm The fact that joint didn't make the list is proof this is a bullshit list!

Mama's in Corona, Queens = best Italian heroes going. They have a location in Shea Stadium - field level near 3rd base, but you have to go to the deli to get it fresh made. pure bliss.

OMG .. those burgers were the BEST ... I miss the market food
court. There was a bar up there as well - I can't remember the name of it - that had the best fried calamari. Went great with the booze

[Lil' Alex]

There's a place on Hylan blvd in Staten Island called Royal Cucina that makes this hero on their own fresh bread that only has one layer of thinly sliced soppresata of some kind and a thin layer of some kind of sharp imported French cheese thats sort of like a provolone but with much more taste. It's unbelievably good, they charge 12 bucks for it.

[Fresca]

he Bomb
Sal, Kris, and Charlie Deli, Queens, New York

The Sandwich Kings of Astoria stick to a simple formula: Use great ingredients and a lot of them. Know what you want to order when it’s your turn and you’ll have a great experience -- that’ll be the Bomb, an Italian with nine kinds of meat. (33-12 Twenty-third Avenue; 718-278-9240)

THERE IT IS. BEST DELI IN NY.

[SatansCheerledr]

I live in So. Cal. The food here is shit but no one seems to mind.

Damn, that sounds awesome.

[grail]

Primanti bros makes a great sandwich. Always great to wash it down with some Yuengling.

The polish boy is a mighty tasty sandwich. I've had several of those when I lived in cleveland.

MrBogey is right. Nothing beats a shrimp po-boy. You'll smack your mama for one of those.

Rest of the list is shite.

[Nortonsmeatytit]

Where is Sarcone's? I've heard about it before.

Sarcone's is the best bread bakery in Philadelphia hands down. They are located in South Philly, 758 S. 9th St. The bread makes the best hoagies possible. They recently updated to a new website and it seems they've gotten into the franchise game offering deli franchises, etc. The South Philly bakery is the gold fucking standard for bread.

Noted and will be explored.

The sandwiches my host makes his golfing buddies makes him a homo.

[oandapartycock]

I know the website said Burgers not allowed. but other people here mentioned them, and I know they're over-hyped by westcoasters, but In N Out is the besssst. And their fries are practically cut to order. I worked in one as a lad, place didn't even have a freezer or a microwave.

Something tells me Jimmy would LOOOVE this one:

Every time I look at this thread I get hungry.

I gotta go downtown later tonight, I think I might need to make a pitstop at Tony Luke's.

Edit: Also if you really like Italian meats I would definitely suggest PaneAntico on 3rd Ave in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Hot sopressata, hot peppers, tomato, balsamic, and fresh mozzarella on their brick oven bread is my personal fav.

[stevethrower]

K how about a good lobster roll...

http://www.bobsclamhut.com/

Mostly tail and not tons of mayo like most places... nice.

[PCLoadLetter]

This goddamned thread, yet again, makes me want a sammich.

[CaraC]

okay despite the fact that I would eat almost every sandwich listed, what I wanna know is where they get this info.. because I know of a few places that would have MANY people's votes around here, but I've never been asked these questions!! damn!

[BIV]

This goddamned thread, yet again, makes me want a sammich.
I've eaten nothing but sammiches for two days because of this God Damn thread.

[PCLoadLetter]

I've eaten nothing but sammiches for two days because of this God Damn thread.
Since it's near midnight and I ain't going out for fixin's, I'm stuck with grilled cheese. At least it's REAL American Cheese (Land O' Lakes yellow, thank you very much, not individually wrapped singles of "American Pasteurized Process American Cheese Food") and decent mass-market rye bread (Pepperidge Farm seeded).

[PCLoadLetter]

...and I can't help but notice another grave omission... Pat's Hubba Hubba, Portchester, NY. Haven't been there in a decade but I can still remember their terribly greasy, tasty, awful-for-you post-beering sammiches.

I understand it's under new ownership now, with a name change and all (now just "Hubba Hubba", maybe?), but I hope they're holding up their end of the legacy.

Holy shit....Biv if you live in Seattle area, go to Salumi and go now! I was out there last August and went there after seeing it recomended on Anthony Bourdain's show. The Porchetta sandwich they have on this list (with provolone added) is incredible!

http://www.salumicuredmeats.com/

They open at 11 but I would suggest getting there around 10:30. I had read that it's a popular spot for lunch and the line was out the door by 11:15.

WG Shuckers in Savannah, Ga had a great sandwich. The Super Chicken. Italian bread buttered and lightly toasted. Breaded chicken breast (it was very moist and yet crisp) with three slices of bacon, lettuce and tomato and a slice of American cheese. Finished off with a slight Worchester mayo. Fucking great sandwich.

[DeltaPin]

I think I'm gonna plan my vacation this year to hit some of the places mentioned in this thread & eat sammichs.

[DoughBoy]

What the fuck is wrong with people saying the Fat Darryl is a good sandwich? It is a fucking chicken parm with fries... god damn that guy is a hack.

Try the Fat DoughBoy (yes, it was named after me). If you call it a fat bitch, you're banned. That cunt took the bacon off my sandwich and called it a Bitch.

CheeseSteak, Chicken Fingers, Mozz Sticks, Bacon, Fries, Lettuce, Onions, Mayo, Ketchup (wing sauce optional)

[mikeybot]

I call shenanigans. There's not always a line. I've been down there plenty of times and there's no line. We've walked right up to the order window and placed our orders without having to wait at all whatsoever.

That's a line after the bars close. *Only* time the lines at Pat's or Geno's are that bad.

[Hudson]

The "Fat Dyke"from the grease trucks at Rutgers was number one in Maxim..the dyke cunt bitches at Rutgers caused a stink, now it is called something else.

My favorite artery-clogger came from a deli on New Highway in Farmingdale. I think it was called a Manhattan hero, but that was probably just a name the deli came up with - no idea if it might be called something else in other places. It was hot roast beef, bacon and melted mozzarella cheese, on half-foot toasted garlic bread. It probably took a few months off my life, but it was worth it.
