this is probably my favorite Serious Eats post to date. I know its may not be the most glamorous food item, but I always feel like sandwiches are one of the things that makes America great.

Corny I know, but true.

Well done!

Leading by, Um, Example?

Considering the class and incomes of these leaders, this really isn't a surprise.

Seems to me that now we know why not much is ever accomplished - they're always eating!

Why do I feel the need to go find my 8th grade science book when I watch your show? And why do I love it so much?

I am a Philly Roast Pork Italian fan deluxe. Especially DiNic's and Tony Luke's. However, on a recent trip to New Orleans I sampled a Shrimp Po Boy at a little gem of a sandwich shop call Domilise's that came very close to dethroning those Brotherly Love treasures. Here's a peek:

OMG

As soon as I saw the top picture I had to scroll to the italian beef & follow through to the flickr because I knew EXACTLY where the sandwich came from - and was totally right. I'm an IL native that's been in AR for 11 years, and only once in that time have I transported the bucket 'o beef, jus & buns back here to share the love with my friends. Damn you article, for making me want Portillo's like .. well, like something really necessary but not quite oxygen.

agree with the above comments on grinders -- you can get cold AND hot, at least you can in concord, ma where i grew up!

i always preferred the steak tip and peppers grinder (hot).

@serpentine: Yikes! Sriracha on banh mi is totally not cool? I didn't know that and yes, at a couple of places in the NYC area, sriracha is definitely present. But in all local versions, there's chilies, too – usually those fierce little bird chilies but Hanco's in Brooklyn does a fresh sliced jalapeno.

Nice roundup, Jenn. I had to go get a sandwich for lunch after this! Any post that does that is a post that hit the mark.

Great sandwich primer. The banh mi is my favorite.

I am so hungry right now that I'm considering licking the pictures on my screen. Just kidding, although it is tempting. :)

DUDE! Considering you seem to be concentrating on east coast eats, I am SHOCKED you didn't mention Fat Sandwiches! They may not be well known outside of Jersey, but you don't have to be a Rutger's graduate have experience this gluttonous heaven on bread! My alma matter's joint.

@madebytam and LadyMarmalade, Re: muffuletta, torta, and beef on weck-- We had to stick with the criteria that the sandwich must be on a long piece of bread (and I did cover Cubans, btw). Muffalettas are round, tortas are oblongish (tough call on that one), and beef on weck is served on a roll. A sandwich round-up for all the rest not covered here may be in the works for the future, so don't worry!
