Speaking of Liebman's...https://tastytravails.blogspot.com/2016/02/kosher-ish.html

 

I've had any number of the sandwiches listed; I'd also avoid most of them.

That made me really hungry.

Lots of interesting sandwiches however the one that I would really like to try is the Newhouse (smoked sablefish on a bialy).

I'll have the Smoked Salmon sandwich, please.

[Alex]

I'm pleased that I've actually been to a few of these (not Katz's; 2nd Avenue Deli was my go-to, back in the day) -- although my order was something other than what was in the article.

They look and sound great.  I love a chopped cheese and places in our area are finally starting to make them!

Why?

I'm more of a "don't put so much stuff inside the bread" person.  If you're using great bread, in my opinion that ought to be the focus.

 

And no sandwich should ever be on a bagel; a bagel is meant to be eaten a horizontal half at a time.

 

This is proper:

 

 

This is ridiculous:

@weinoo, I looked at many of that list of "sandwiches" with great envy yesterday!

Sandwich envy?  Sounds Freudian.

Sandwiches are simple affairs.

 

as @weinoo  has suggested , the bread maker the  -wich.

 

as sandwiches are simple , sanwiches shops have to do something

 

to attract your eye and custom

 

thus they become construction and possible plate art.

I agree. I avoid any sandwich that requires jaw dislocation in order to take a bite.

Also agree.  And any bagel that has the softness and lack of chew to make a good sandwich isn't a bagel worth eating in the first place.

Simple is good but I think there are interesting and imaginative additions that can take a sandwich from good to great.  I'm a big fan of Max Halley's secret to deliciousness: Hot, Cold, Sweet, Sour, Crunchy, Soft.  If you get all of those in a bite of sandwich it will be pretty great.  If there's so much crap on it that you can't even bite it, let alone get a bite with everything in it, that's no bueno to me.
