In a world filled with sandwiches, sandwich recipes and ingredients and the endless variations, what makes a sandwich famous ?

I like so many, but there's a place called Ruma's Deli in St. Louis that's famous for open faced ham or beef on garlic bread covered with provel cheese (best pizza cheese IMO) - they are simply delectable

Hungry ?

What's Your Favorite Sandwich ?

btw, Ruma's Deli calls the roast beef 'Prosperity' and the ham is a 'Gerber' - don't ask me

and Gioia's Deli is famous for great sandwiches and Hot Salami !! they heat the salami ? they make their own.

if anyone sees, gets or tries Volpi Salami, it's made here on "The Hill" - we also invented Toasted Ravioli -

If I'm putting it together...depends. I like thinly sliced Oven Gold Turkey from Boar's Head with garden fresh tomato and lettuce. Publix makes good bread for it. My favorite is this pocket bread they have. I slice the pocket open and lay it like a book. It's thin and if you toast it open faced with butter and a drizzled of olive oil it has a wonderful soft but slightly crackly texture. I put graded mild cheddar and a touch of american to warm and melt while I pan warm the meat. Pile the turkey on, put a few slices of tomato and just enough lettuce for crunch, serve with sweet tea, whatever chip I'm in the mood for and a couple of sweet midget pickles.

That's a good lunch. :chew:

I'll have 4 of the Ham and cheese on garlic bread. Can you have them here about 12:15 PM so we have lunch ready when we get home from church?

they have large and small Delmar, i think the large is two 12 inch pieces, small may be 8 inch pieces ?

LOL, they are delicious - that's part of the problem here, there are only 2 locations so many St. Louisans don't partake. fortunately i'm between them both as each one is about 5 miles away. one is 4 the other is 7. they havr pizza and pasta too -

looks edible, but i was never a fan of putting side items on a sandwich, just give meats, cheeses, sauces and normal ingredients, i don't need french fries on a sandwich. there was a place for decades here that serves brain sandwiches - fingers on the side,

they may still be open on at gravois and tesson

I rarely eat sandwiches, but when I do, one that would be a real treat would be a Reuben (with pastrami, not corned beef). Yum. :)

If you're ever in Chicago, look for a Duks. They're a local fast food chain that's a Chicago institution. They're very tiny stores and often tucked away under the elevated platforms. Their food is good, cheap, and fast. I particularly like the Italian beef sandwiches, but they serve the famous Chicago hotdogs and polish sausage dogs, too. I left Chicago 10 years ago and I still miss them!

My vote goes to a Duks Italian beef, 'dipped', with grilled onions and sweet peppers.

I lived one block over from this Duks on Ashland Ave. back in the 80s. Fantastic place, and always an adventure to visit. Part carnival, part restaurant.
