A real Muffalatta from Central Grocery. A required stop every time I go home.
Pastrami and swiss on marble rye with stone ground mustard Rueben Prime rib sliced thin soaked with au jus on pumpernickle with farmers cheese and horseradish |
I actually dream about this one sometimes. Sigh... |

Two sandwiches at 12 Bones in Asheville, NC:
Fried green tomato sandwich Smoked turkey with brie Normally I would never eat either of these, but they came highly recommended when we were visiting Asheville, and turns out they are the best sandwiches I've ever eaten in my life. |
|
Oh, fried green tomato sandwiches. I had forgotten. (The one at the Homestead has goat cheese. Sigh.)
OK, also love chicken, bacon, avocado, and white cheddar on toasted whole wheat with mayo. |
We think alike

Hi fellow New Orleanian! Yup, that muffaletta's a good one, thanks for the big smile
|
Nothing like them anywhere else. |
But if you lived in N. Arlington, you would quickly realize how annoying it is to actually go to the Italian Store because it is always so frickin' crowded. You can order ahead, but they don't always answer the phone. Good sandwiches though. |
| During the week the Italian Store has stacks of pre-made Milanos and Capris. You can pick them up, pay and get out in a few minutes. Not to highjack the thread, but if you make a pilgrimage to the Italian Store, pick up the Berger cookies (vanilla with a thick glob of the best chocolate frosting). They're from Baltimore and delish! |
| In college there was a place that regularly ran coupons in the campus paper--for $3.09 you got a sandwich, good thick potato chips, a small cup of pasta or potato salad, and a fountain drink. The sandwich I always got was a Susie Sorority--turkey, claussen dill pickles, sprouts, havarti, mayo, tomato on whole wheat toast. So good. I wonder how much they cost now. |
| Anyone remember Koch's Deli in West Philly? The Italian Hoagie, the Reuben, the Brisket on Rye. Heaven. |

I really love reubens, plus pastrami and corned beef sandwiches, but only if the meat is of really good quality. With swiss cheese and some spicy mustard.
Also... some days I really want a caprese sandwich. Otherwise, nothing will satisfy like a lobster roll. Occasionally I find myself craving a meatball sub or a chicken parmesan melt from Cosi. And sometimes nothing will satisfy like a thick, gooey grilled-cheese sandwich (or panini) or an adult PB&J. |
Sounds great! I love rye bread, but it is hard to find a really good rye bread in US. Ha-ha, I am making guacamole every day for my daughter. She is obsessed with avocado too.
