What about the Italian sandwich? Salami Capicola or pepperoni Lettuce Onion Tomato Red wine vinegar and olive oil sauce or Italian dressing. Mayo Perfect.
Here in Singapore there is a sandwich call "Roti John" meaning John's bread. Story goes that the sandwich was invented in the 60s by a Malay hawker near a British airforce base. British servicemen were then called John by the locals. The origional version is eggs beaten with cooked minced meat usually mutton with diced red onions, salt n pepper spread on half a buttered french loaf then pan fried till crispy , served with homemade chili sauce. Nowadays u have different versions in Singapore, Malaysia n Indonesia. Varieties as in tuna, sardines, beef n chicken are use n salads or coleslaw are stack together with sliced cheese, mayonnaise, chili sauce n bbq sauce or cheese sauce. Personally i still prefer the origional version.
@@michaelsnedker5446 Worth it! Also for the noodles and Hainan Chicken Rice and a particularly good barbequed chicken at Din Jiang Hong Kong Roasted at Superluck Food Court.
Re: grilled cheese A really good one I made was: - good quality sourdough bread - cheddar cheese - garlic & artichoke spread inside the sandwich - double decker, so you've got a nice, soft bread as well as a toasty layer - cover the frying pan maybe halfway through to partially steam the sandwich/promote melting without burning
Fluffernutters are awesome. A lot of people don't know what they are since it is mainly a New England thing but it is peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on white bread So yummy
The mayonnaise company wanted lots of attention to the product in the advertisement. The ad director probably decided to do that to get lots of talk about the ad.
Lettuce must have real bite.... but also must be anything other than iceberg.. seriously? The only thing iceberg lettuce has going for it is the crisp “bite”. It is literally the perfect lettuce for a BLT.
If you believe this video, nobody ate a decent sandwich before 1910 or so, and then they suddenly "invented" some of the greatest combos ever put between two slices of bread.
The BLT is all about EACH AND EVERY INGREDIENT -- NOT JUST "the blt". The bread AND the mayo matter and can make or break the sandwich no matter how great the bacon, lettuce, and/or tomato is.
@Leslie M Schultz I agree with you! Iceberg keeps its crunch, be it leafed or shredded!! My first love was a boiled ham n Swiss cheese grinder in Connecticut with all of the fixings, shredded iceberg included of course, I was 11 or 12. I fell in love that day.... Nothing beats a juicy hero, grinder, hoagie, sub, call it what you like.. They're the best and they include iceberg lettuce!! Passion forward, 👍😋🤌✨️
When I was a child, I didn't have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I had always eaten them separately. Jelly was usually only available on children's birthdays. I never got the idea to eat that together. As a child, I preferred hearty food to less sweet things.
@@bishopman2308 Yeah, me too. Still think corned beef is right. Sauerkraut pairs well with the brine of the corned beef. The coating on pastrami doesn't need anything other than some deli mustard.
@@bishopman2308 That is also my understanding of a proper Rueben. I wasn't remotely suggesting otherwise. I was recommending mustard strictly for a pastrami sandwich.
There are many pretenders but the minimal Po boy must have sour dough bread and mayo. The best have fried shrimp or oysters or sliced beef, and go great with a cup of gumbo for a real Cajun lunch.
Have you done one of these on the best Regional sandwiches? Some might include the Louisville-style Hot Brown or the Indianapolis-style Pork Tenderloin.
Whatever your background, the greatest sandwiches were the ones your local deli served. The great deli's in New York gave you a sandwich you could barely eat, making your spouse, or pet, very happy with the remainders. But corned beef, pastrami, roast beef or turkey, with the best pickles, dark mustard, and whatever else you wanted. I tried 1,000 times making their sandwiches at home, but couldn't do it...
If you want the best BLT, replace the Mayo with peanut butter and lay the warm bacon strips on it. By the time you eat it, the peanut butter will start to melt. Delicious!
I think the classic is Russian dressing but most places use TI. I made some a few months ago and could not find Russian at the market. My first Reuben was from the lady next door in the early 70's. She grilled pumpernickel and a couple slices of supermarket corned beef with a touch of kraut, Swiss cheese and Russian dressing. Blew my 12 year-old mind. You don't need a pound of meat if you do it right.
@@Obamafan6861 I actually prefer it with a smaller amount of meat. Those delis that put a six inch high stack of corned beef on it? Nope. Then the Sammy gets dry and you can’t taste anything else.
I'm from New Orleans, and frankly, I don't think "Po Boy" qualifies as a singular sandwich. A Po Boy is literally anything on that type of French bread. Saying it's the best sandwich is like saying anything on rye is the best sandwich. Agreed about the Muffaletta, too. And Meatball replaces the Torta.
I appreciate your including the bagel and lox on your greatest sandwiches list and congratulate you on knowing that what is often served as lox these days isn’t really because it's smoked rather than brine cured. However, despite how common that deception may be, I will never sit silently by when a bagel with smoked salmon is mislabeled “bagel and lox.” This is not just a case of my being a stickler for accuracy, it’s a matter of culinary quality. A bagel with cream cheese and smoked salmon is inherently bland, hence the modern practice of adding onions and/or capers. A bagel with cream cheese and actual lox doesn’t need such additions because the saltiness of the lox is strong enough to effectively complement the cream cheese on its own. It’s that delicious piquant balance that made the B&L popular in the first place and which a bagel sandwich with delicate smoked salmon can never provide. It saddens me that so many people who falsely think they've tried bagel and lox and probably were unimpressed will never know what they've been missing.
Which is why you always cook way more bacon than you need. Have to allow for eating half of it before making the sandwiches. Then you have to account for the dog wanting his share of it, too.
I live in North Carolina. They do not realize the importance of the cheese here. A philly cheese steak should have plenty of cheese, not little to no cheese.
Yeah, from the Gulf coast, have had tuna, and other fin fish, melts my whole life. Maybe Woolworths popularized the dish, but, they don't really have a good reputation for for much, now do they?
I prefer a turkey melt to tuna, preferably served open face on sourdough, but the turkey should NOT be smoked! As for cheesesteaks, they always taste better in Philly than in any other place, and I prefer the true original cheese: Cheez Whiz! I prefer my peanut butter sandwiches with banana or honey rather than jelly. You forgot another goodie: the Chicago-style Italian Beef sandwich
What about the Italian sandwich?
Salami
Capicola or pepperoni
Lettuce
Onion
Tomato
Red wine vinegar and olive oil sauce or Italian dressing.
Mayo
Perfect.

it bothered me that the guy put mayo on the bacon and not the bread for the BLT
Also, ice-berg is totally acceptable.
Yes, I agree, why not mustard?
yeah
@@contemptcreatorarthurave4042 Yes. Nothing wrong with iceberg.
That guy spreading the mayo on the bacon is a straight sociopath. There's no way it was his first time making a sandwich either.
Muffaletta wasn't good enough to make the list, but a TUNA MELT was?
Shenanigans.
They both too salty
@@bluu_ice6554 Patty Melt disrespect
Yeah this video was all kinds of bullshit
Muffalettas make me nauseous.
Fish and cheese dont go together.
Re: grilled cheese

The Woolworth's shown is in Bakersfield, CA. Still had an open lunch counter last time I was there. Great food and nostalgia.
Did they serve colored folks there?
From Redlands - cool pix but totally doubt the story of shelf tipped tuna haha
My BLT has iceburg lettuce for the crunch, other lettuce are limp. Tuna melts, i mix grated cheddar cheese in the tuna then under the broiler .
Fluffernutters are awesome. A lot of people don't know what they are since it is mainly a New England thing but it is peanut butter and marshmallow fluff on white bread So yummy
0:22 who spreads mayo like that!? I'm scarred
"Milk before the cereal" people, very unsettling💯😂😂😂

Heavy on the Mayo , please 😀👍
Cuban sandwich, fish sandwiches and BLTs are my go to
This is the greatest video EVER if you're hungry & are getting some food soon....
Lettuce must have real bite.... but also must be anything other than iceberg.. seriously? The only thing iceberg lettuce has going for it is the crisp “bite”. It is literally the perfect lettuce for a BLT.
I thought the same thing. I've only ever used iceberg on BLTs. And, I spread the mayonnaise on the bread, not the bacon.
The BLT is OK, but I'm not a fan of tomatoes. Replace the tomatoes with onions (grilled!), and voila!
The BLOG!
I like iceberg lettuce myself. I'm not find of romaine lettuce.
@@denisenilsson1366 Then it will be a bacon, lettuce, and onion sandwich. That's not the same thing.
@@ladennayoung2939 Of course not. ☺ That's why I call it a BLOG.
I've never seen a BLT not made with iceberg lettuce.
Graham Graves I love iceberg, especially on a BLT. That cold crunch is life. This channel is way off.
RIGHT!?
That guy in the beginning spreading the mayo on the bacon instead of the bread is totally triggering me
I nearly threw my phone
You guys must be hungry. I never even noticed that.
Same
BLT MUST BE ICEBERG!!! YUM!
Watching this while drinking green tea. What could be more depressing?
I’ve only had a torta on bolillo. The crusty outside is superior to the soft crust of telera, in my opinion.
Crab cake sandwiches in MD are a must. 💯🦀
I miss "crab burgers". Been a while since I've been to my birth state, but I love me some crabcakes... in buns or not!
If you believe this video, nobody ate a decent sandwich before 1910 or so, and then they suddenly "invented" some of the greatest combos ever put between two slices of bread.
Don’t hate on iceberg lettuce! It’s perfect for a BLT because it is crunchy.
Fried chicken sandwich and croque monsieur deserve spots here. But the other choices are all awesome and so i can’t really complain 😅
Nailed it!
Great video!
Courdon bleu with lettuce pepper bacon...french dip is good too! Yum... 😄
Banh Mi is amazing.
For the Ruben, add pickle relish to the Russian dressing and Viola! It's Thousand Island dressing :) Much better, oddly enough ;)
You forgot the Muffuletta. One of my fave sandwiches of all time!
Watched this while eating a sandwich! I love when life imitates art! :D
this is actually a very solid list
Great vid as always, but I am gonna have to complain about the absence of the fried spam sandwich.
French dip; the customer is always right!
Ghee on the grilled cheese. Believe me, it’s the best.
The BLT is all about EACH AND EVERY INGREDIENT -- NOT JUST "the blt". The bread AND the mayo matter and can make or break the sandwich no matter how great the bacon, lettuce, and/or tomato is.
I think Iceberg lettuce is best for BLT... Yum...

BLT and Philly Cheese r 2 of my favorites
Too bad Italian Beef wasn’t on the list... as a former Chicagoan...
Muffulettas is the best sandwich in the world.
Agreed. Definitely deserve to be on the list.
Only thing I would add is a Turkey Club.
I just ate lunch, now I’m hungry again.
I make BLTO putting that red onion on it sets it off.
BLTAs are popular as well, with avocado. I can’t stand avocado. Onion sounds better!
I have never had a Reuben served with pickles. Seems like overkill.
I've never had a Reuben that wasn't served with a pickle. You got robbed.
@@stevebird9510On a Reuben, or beside a Reuben? The narration in the video was saying on or in the Reuben, or at least that’s how I heard it.
Peruvian pork and sweet potato sandwich (pan con chicharron).
Simple and amazing
They forgot the BBQ Pork, Beef , Turkey, sausage , ham , sandwhich >
No croque monsieur/madame? No Chicago Italian beef?
CUBANO, BABY!!!
PB&J... I use 3 pieces of bread.. 2 pieces with PB, and the middle piece with jelly, but I prefer jam instead of jelly...
Don't watch this while hungry...don't watch this while hungry...watching this while hungry.
No muffuletta? CRIMES.
Yummy!
Interessting that "Lachs" means Salmon in German. Perhaps, the Bagel story isn't that precise... 🤔
Reubens should be corned beef, not pastrami, I thought.
Yea, corned beef is better to me as well, but I've seen alot of places using pastrami over the last few years.
@@bishopman2308 Yeah, me too. Still think corned beef is right. Sauerkraut pairs well with the brine of the corned beef. The coating on pastrami doesn't need anything other than some deli mustard.

Mustard is ok, but when I make my reubens it's corned beef, swiss cheese, sauerkraut and I like to use thousand island sauce.
@@bishopman2308 That is also my understanding of a proper Rueben. I wasn't remotely suggesting otherwise. I was recommending mustard strictly for a pastrami sandwich.

Oh ok, I get you now.
What? No messy meatball sandwich? I thought for sure it would be listed.
There are many pretenders but the minimal Po boy must have sour dough bread and mayo. The best have fried shrimp or oysters or sliced beef, and go great with a cup of gumbo for a real Cajun lunch.
Wait until you try the cemita, it's delicious.
Another couple that got missed. A Beef on Weck and a Royal Submarine. Both Buffalo, NY favorites.
Love it
Now I want a crawfish po boy
You left off the GREATEST Pastrami sandwich in the world-
The #19 from LANGER'S DELI in Los Angeles!

Nice
BLTs *must* have mayonnaise though! It’s required!
Salami on a Cuban? Where are you from? Tampa?
born and raised lol
Habanero jack and bacon is my go to grilled cheese
so is the patty melt a sandwich ? if it is that is my fave.
If you want the best BLT, replace the Mayo with peanut butter and lay the warm bacon strips on it. By the time you eat it, the peanut butter will start to melt. Delicious!

Hot pastrami and provolone on white with mayonnaise, lettuce and onion.
I remember when the Phrase *LGBTQ* first started.
I thought it was a variation on the *LBT* (Lettuce, Gruyere, Bacon, Tomato)
Now this is a VIDEO, 'Nuff said...!
For those who don’t know if you go to McDonald’s and ask for a grilled cheese they will give you one for a dollar
But why though?
Lol if your in a hurry and don’t want McDonald’s but want a good grilled cheese McDonald’s would do the trick
I didn’t know that!
I am so freakin hungry now !!! 😫
I’ve never heard of pickles (or pickled cucumber) on a Reuben. I guess anyone who has ever served a Reuben to me has figured sauerkraut was enough.

Woolworths Had this before anyone I too Think they invented it! used to get them as a Kid at Woolworths.
