50 States, 50 Sandwiches!

10 years ago

I knew it - Cuba has been annexed to the US???? One of 50 states?

Let me complain about California. French Dip? eh?

Would be more like flourless, sprouted multi-grain bread, AVACADOS, sprouts, CHEEZE. Meat? Not so much - but I guess any meat as long as it has avacados... ok maybe sourdough bread for the meat people.

Alaska - for shame - reindeer meat? Sacreligious! I am telling Santa on them.

Not quite. The site pictures a Cuban sandwich, which is quite popular in South Florida.

Roast beef on kimmelweck. Fresh horseradish from the Broadway Market. *drool*

Closest thing to heaven that's served on bread. While the rest of the world thinks of chicken wings when they think western New York food, natives think of a beef on weck.

They nailed it when they picked Schwabl's, too. Arguably the best of a very good bunch.

Anderson's is okay, but it's kind of like comparing Ruth's Chris and Arby's.

I don't know about Ohio's "Polish Boy," but if you like corned beef, Cleveland is a good place to be. Check out the reubens in the deli on the first floor of the Bulkley Building next time you're in Cleveburgh. Assuming it's still there... (The deli, I mean. Not the city. If the city were gone you'd know before you went. Hopefully. 'Cause it's, like, a pretty big place, and famous and stuff, and it would make the news if it disappeared or something. You know?)

I haven't really found a favorite sandwich in Pittsburgh yet. Lots of "good enough," but nothing I'd make a special trip for.

Best I've had in Columbus was a bacon, green peppers, and egg sandwich on a big rye roll from a little family-owned place in Germantown. I don't remember the name of the place any more, but they had a cool big band selection on the jukebox. (That was 30 years ago. Haven't spent enough time there in the past 20 years or so to have found a suitable substitute.)

In Cincinnati, it's the coneys at Skyline. Any Skyline. The sauce is addictive. And now you can get it at... Walmart.

Mind: Status == blown.

I'm not a big sandwich fan, but I am a Reubin lover. I make one that I can't remember where I first tasted it, but it's a fried ham and cheese with coleslaw in just as the Reubin has sauerkraut. A little bit sweet so isn't for some people.

Thanks

Sal,

That ain't no reuben, ma'am. That's a ham and cheese sandwich with sludge.

A reuben involves hot corned beef (or maybe pastrami, if you're on the liberal side of the deli aisle), swiss cheese, Russian dressing, and usually sauerkraut. All on fresh rye bread.

Anything else is... well... something else. Maybe even something delicious. But it ain't a reuben.

So, so close to perfection Paul, but you need to change the bread to Rye and Pumpernickel Marble and then it is the perfect Reuben.

NO! There can be no variati...

Wait. That sounds pretty good.

NO! I must not allow myself to be swayed from the One True...

Ooooo. Pumpernickel.

Begone, heathen temptress!

Didn't mean it to sound like the same thing. I know a Reubin. I LOVE Ruebins. I've been known to make sourkraut myself just so there's good sourkraut around to put on the Ruebin -- with the dark and light swirl rye. I don't know what the ham/cheese/coleslaw is called - it's just something similar that I make once in awhile from leftover ham. That' one's really good with cracked wheat sourdough.

Thanks

Sal,

[ahem] Upon re-reading, I see that I should have re-read it before re-plying. I sit corrected.

That does sound awfully good, too.

The french dip was invented in LA.

MAYBE, but then, by that criteria, you could list far more than one.

  You asked if the French dip was Californian by using a question mark. I gave you a good reason why it should be considered Californian, and not if it should have been chosen as THE sandwhich. Another strawman argument on your part.
  
  And, you can select any sandwhich you want for any state you want, just as this person did.

Some of those sandwiches looked really delicious. Went into full daydream mode and dreamt I'd go on a roadtrip just to try out each one from the recommended source.

*sigh* ... back to work.
