While sitting here eating my turkey w/ roasted red peppers on provolone , proschuitto bread, I wonder what other good sandwiches there are out there that i havent tried yet. Yesterday, I ordered something called an Italian Cheeseburger Sub. It was several cheeseburger patties on a sub roll lathered in mustard and mayo with peppers and onions. It was then topped with cheese whiz french fries swimming in ketchup. It was a little too much , but the fact that it was something new.

I want people to post their favorite sandwich or their must uncommon sandwich. For example what is the best italian meat combination. Dressings and whatever. Just looking for new ideas for lunch.

Hmmm... This is a hard one to answer.

Here's what I do know:

I only like hot sandwiches for the most part.

Melted cheese is a good thing.

OK, I just thought of a favorite (not THE favorite, just up there):

It's called Avocado Luck.

Take a great quality bread (I use Zingerman's Farm Bread) and cut two generous pieces. Brush one side of each with olive oil. Place one piece oil side down on a Lean Mean Grilling Machine. Add sliced avocado (I use quite a bit), provolone cheese, and a drizzle of raspberry vinaigrette. Place other piece of bread on top, oil side up. Close machine. Cook till nice and melty and crispy. Eat. :biggrin:

That is not an italian cheeseburger sub

It is a Fat Cat. http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showtopic=38713&hl=

Adding Bacon & Eggs is another option.

ps I always had a soft spot for edam cheese, fresh sliced tomatoes, butter on wheatbread and S&P.

A really good BLT is always my favorite - on good, toasted wheat bread, with really good, ripe tomatoes and crisp bacon. A little avocado in there is good, too.

Oh sorry got caught up in the trucks.. The difference between the Italian and fat cat is the pepper, onions.. Like if you get an italian hot dog it comes onions,peppers, and fries. Fat is: L,T,FF.. Also on all fat sandwiches i believe it is crucial to go white sauce hot sauce, bacon.

Do you go with cheese on that? Roasted Red Peppers or marinated mushrooms

oh yeah! i forgot the provolone.

and mayo and spicy mustard. i tend to be purist with that particular sandwich - no veggies of any sort.

i haven't had one in a long time, actually. since i moved south, actually.

another favorite is a pastrami on pumpernickel (don't like rye) with mustard.

Get yourself a big round bread. Cut in half and scoop out some of the innards. Drizzle with good olive oil and a sprinkle of red wine vinegar, a little oregano. Layer provolone, genoa, soppressata, good ham, more provolone. Hot peppers and red onions optional. More oil and vinegar. Smash top on, wrap in foil, stick in 350-375 oven with a weight on it. Bake until cheese gets gooey.

I also like extra sharp cheddar and bacon grilled with lots of butter on cinnamon raisin bread. Sounds odd but it works.

Though I don't usually make them myself, I love sandwiches with roasted red peppers on them.

There's a joint in Santa Cruz that specializes in turkey sandwiches: the turkey is just like leftover Thanksgiving bird. And they put stuffing and cranberry sauce on them, with grated carrots and lettuce, and there is nothing better.

My own post-Thanksgiving turkey sandwiches have shiitake mushroom stuffing and shiitake-sherry cream gravy, and I'd feed those to the Queen of England. Or someone else very rich whom I actually liked and admired.

Sharp cheddar is good. Toasted sourdough bread is good.

Grilled cheese is even better.

Substitute Capacollo for the ham. Peppers and onions manditory!

My grilled cheese of choice these days is with truffle butter and gruyere. But i must acknowledge how awesome that turkey shiitake sandwich sounds. Is this shiitake stuffing w/ cream recipe a heavily guarded seceret. I think i might have some royalty in my family, I am not positive, but I am pretty certain. :laugh:

Grated strong Cheddar cheese on wholemeal bread with enough sliced shallots to bring tears to your eyes. (after some red wine).

Whenever I want to make my sandwich *really good*, I add bacon. Easy, que no? This works on egg salad, peanut butter, melted cheese, etc.

I fry one or two pounds at a shot, place the slices on wax paper, and freeze them. 20 seconds in the microwave and you're set...........

I'm a canning clean freak because there's no sorry large enough to cover the, "Oops! I gave you botulism" regrets.

I invented a hamburger based on the Mexican torta.

Tortaburger. You start with telera, toasted and sliced, add avocado, lettuce, tomato, onion, refried beans, mayonaise, jalapeno, and grilled hamburger.
