What's your favorite sandwich?

For me, it's the BLT. Delicious.

The Day-After-Thanksgiving-Leftover-Turkey Sandwich on toasted sourdough bread. Turkey, lots of mayonnaise and black pepper, cranberry sauce, dressing, romaine lettuce. But the BLT is a close second.

Love BLTs, but just finished eating a scrambled egg-cheese-bacon sandwich on multigrain bread.

My breakfast, lunch, and dinner for today. After the rain passes I'll go outside and pick a few figs from our tree--that'll be dessert.

Turkey club on toasted wheat, lots of mayo, slices of ripe tomato (no white/green middles), crunchy lettuce, and CRISPY bacon. Bonus if the toast and/or bacon is still warm while the rest of it is ice cold. Turkey clubs are everywhere but a really good one is hard to come by.

I agree with OP, but a BLT is either perfect (crisp bacon and enough of it, a ripe tomato) or not worth eating, so I will rarely order one.

by Anonymousreply 17July 7, 2025 7:17 PM

Start with well-made tuna salad, chunk white albacore, high quality mayo, chopped celery and some herbs, usually dill and parsley, well flaked with no nasty chunks or overwhelming "fishy" smell.

Then make a tuna melt with it, with thick bread well buttered before the heat is applied, and good cheese. Bonus if a high quality ripe tomato is included. Like a lot of these entries, the "category" might be hit or miss, but a good offering of the type is sublime. Shitty tuna salad will ruin anything.

Pastrami and imported Swiss cheese, grilled, on seeded rye bread. Potato chips and a black cherry soda.

BLT. Homemade mayonnaise on toasted wholewheat bread. Iced tea, unsweetened, with lemon.

Chunky PB and either black raspberry or pineapple preserves, on seeded rye bread. Tall glass of milk.

In that order.

It's hard to decide between a BLT and a club sandwich. Also delicious is a chicken salad melt with tomato.

If we're including open-faced sandwiches, the Hot Brown should be part of the conversation.

A BLT can hardly be beat for flavor, especially in the late summer when truly ripe beefsteak tomatoes are available in the markets. However, it's not exactly what the doctor ordered in regards to nutrients. Lots of salt and fat, not much protein. A fresh turkey-breast sandwich would make the doctor happier.

Back in the day, there was a cart near where I worked in NYC manned by two middle-aged Italian guys. I don't remember that clearly, but I think all they served was hot pastrami sandwiches. They were they delicious. They also had some sort of made-on-the-spot potato salad. I think that was made up of pre-dressed potatoes, and just before plopping it on your plate, they would give it a generous dollop of mayonnaise and give it a stir. Also not a dieter's dream, but I was in my early 20s at the time and thin as a rail, so I was all about that lunch!

Folks in the tri-state are of NY may know Blimpie's - not sure what other states it does business in. They went from a number of stores in NYC down to one left in the Bronx. I loved their sandwich called "Blimpie's Best" - a hero/sub with 2-3 Italian meats, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, oil & vinegar and sweet peppers. OMG, drooling thinking about it.

I went on Goldbelly looking for a substitute and I ended up paying $40 for a similar sandwich that was no bueno. I see there is a chain called Jimmy John's that has something close to the BB sandwich... just gotta get to the other side of town and hope for the best.

I read about how good a grilled cheese was in an air fryer and man were they right. I have always like grilled cheese but seems I always burn the second side because I don't think to turn the heat down on the frying pan but they come out so perfect in an air fryer, toasted to perfection and yet the cheese isn't too runny.

The key to a good BLT is the B and getting the bread toasted just right. The bacon has to be crisp, but not crisp enough to crumble when you bite it. The bread has to be lightly toasted. If the toast is too dark, it's not a good BLT.

Wow. Quite a charmed life you must lead.

Chewy/fatty (not crispy)undercooked bacon and unripe tomatoes with hard greenish-white cores are the two most common offenders in a bad BLT in my experience. I've also had questionable mayo (yellow and glossy, like it "sat out') and wilted lettuce on BLTs. Then there's the really cheap places that just skimp on the bacon and even the tomato. Ghastly. But good for you for having such relaxed standards.

New England-style lobster roll = a classic (with hot golden fries and cole slaw on the side). A friend of mine prefers the CT style (warm lobster with butter dressing), but I'll pass.

In RI, the current average price for a delicious NE lobster roll is around $30.
