Stupid sandwich! Stupid poopy sandwich.

Oh, I could have said that!

Don't lower the bar!

Louis Lunch in New Haven, CT, the inventor of the hamburger

Louis' Lunch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Strange food machines in there, too

I walked right past this place last night. My wife and I went to see Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings play in New Haven. BTW, Bosco Mann is THE MAN on bass, and grooves like nobody's business. But that's besides the point. Louis' Lunch is REALLY small. The place has been there since 1895. We would have gone there after the gig, but our drive back to New Jersey would have made that a little rough.

As for local sandwiches? I think that you can find a solid Italian combo in pretty much any respectable deli in the NYC metropolitan area. Said sandwich should consist of:
-Italian bread
-Salami
-Ham capocolla
-Prosciutto (if you're going somewhat high end)
-Provolone
-lettuce
-tomato

Some may include pepperoni. This is a judgement call, and not everyone goes this route.

As for dressing? That's a personal preference, too. I can usually go for oil & vinegar and mustard.

I do get down to Philadelphia at least a couple of times a year. You can get a solid cheesesteak pretty much anywhere. I've been to Pat's, and it was alright. I like Tony Luke's a bit more.

My favorite sandwich in Philadelphia? That's the Italian roast pork at Tommy Dinic's in Reading Terminal Market. OMG, what a sandwich!!! Juicy roast pork, sharp provolone, and perfectly sautéed broccoli rabe. This sandwich makes a cheesesteak look like a joke.

Sharp provolone? I didn't know there was such a thing.

Broccoli rabe is fantastic on sandwiches.

Hot meat slathered in a spicy sauce stuffed between two warm buns.

Shrimp po-boy from Johnny's Po-Boys in New Orleans. Dang, those are good!

EDIT: And there's a place in downtown Tulsa called Lassalle's that has fantastic po-boys as well.

The raisins ruin it for me. Is that orange marmelade?

I had originally typed that it was. But, after looking at the picture, I think it is apricot jam so I deleted the words.

That's good stuff and really gets the poop moving.

I can't stand orange marmelade. It's got a bitter aftertaste that combines with the sweetness in a really weird way.

The poop thing, I'm right there with you, but...marmalade, I love marmalade.

Peanut Butter, Mayonnaise and Banana on white.

Yes, yes and yes but on potato bread.

 

[Hot Rats]

Could I get the same experience by dipping my banana into a bowl of peanut sprinkled mayonnaise and chasing it with a potato chip?

 

[Gorn]

Only one way to find out.
