Short rib's fatty flavor profile makes it especially tasty with cheese.
Saltbox's short rib grilled cheese sandwich ($11) is a solid argument in favor of the union of these two ingredients. The griddled sandwich on thinly sliced whole-grain bread is stuffed with creamy manchego cheese and juicy short rib finished in a New Orleans-style sauce piquant made with olive oil, tomatoes, and peppers.

The Reuben ($10) from Prather Ranch Meat Company is the kind of sandwich where the first bite makes you want to shout f*** yeah and do a little air guitar. Why is this sandwich so good? First of all it's made to order on a big old grill, like you just happened to stop for lunch at a friend's backyard barbecue. Then there's the fact that the extra thin slices of highest quality pastrami are fried, which gives them a crisp texture and seems to enhance the meaty flavor.

This sandwich from Acme Bread ($5.15) is simplicity at its best. A rustic sweet baguette is topped with thin slices of Fra Mani Toscano salame, cornichons, and sweet European butter.

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cutlets are surely close cousins of the rubber flip-flop. I've dined on many a chewy version in the name of healthful eating, but am always left wishing I had a do-over meal. When properly encased in a crisp coating of flavorful breadcrumbs, however, I will make an exception and pardon the aforementioned offense.

This sandwich is based on a muffuletta, but it wasn't as simple as removing the meat and cheese and shoving in vegetables in its place. You have to first think exactly what it is that made the meat and cheese work in a real muffuletta in the first place. For me, the success is in the texture: moist and compact, but still toothsome and giving with a balance of flavors—funky, salty, sour, herbal, a bit of dried fruit from the well-aged cured meats.

Sunshine Tavern's buttermilk fried chicken sandwich—one of the best things I've eaten in months—is my favorite sandwich on their menu, made with crispy, tender chicken breast and topped with blue cheese coleslaw and chili mayo.

Freddie's Sandwiches has been around since 1926 which, in California terms, is a real long time. So you have to assume they have to be pretty good at what they do, particularly in North Beach, a neighborhood that has turned much of the authentic into the tourist-driven.

Uncle Uber's Sammich Shop in Dallas's Deep Ellum neighborhood hasn't been open very long, but over the last few months they've managed to make some serious, er, sammiches. Nomenclature aside, you should order Uncle Uber's Goat Cheese and Bacon ($6.29). The applewood smoked bacon and slices of cucumber and avocado give it a fresh taste, almost reminiscent of a BLT, but then you have that thick, rich layer of goat cheese that makes it far more substantial than its BLT cousin.

If it were socially acceptable, rather than a qualifying attribute to be a guest on
Freaky Eaters, I'd eat grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner every night. And for breakfast each morning—although in that instance I'd to sneak
a fried egg in the middle. Here's one I make when I have more time to enjoy the slowly crisping buttery bread and the quiet melt of a mound of curled-up orange cheese shavings.

The panini to end all panini: buttery avocado, oozing melted brie and fresh mozzarella, all punctuated with chewy-sweet sun dried tomatoes and fresh whole basil leaves. Crispy, gooey, and delicious.
