Mine is the Hot Sicilian from Nick Cantone's in Harrisburg. PA and I ate so many of those, he gave me the recipe before they took him away for being a bookie. They actually didn't take him away for being a bookie; they took him away for getting caught being a bookie, there is a difference. Shame too, damned good sammich and a fine bookie, except for getting caught. I wish I could claim it but I cannot but I do make it often and especially during the football season.

Finding the bun is tricky and after much experimentation, I discovered those large round hoagie buns Walmart makes were the closest one to Nick's. They actually have some really good breads.

Start by hollowing out both sides of the bun and fill that with serrano ham, mortadella, sweet and hot capicola, pepperoni and top that with crisp bacon and a slice of provolone and toast both sides in the oven and it helps to get the meat and cheese to come to room temp before assemblage of the sammich. When it is toasted, put a healthy smear of Dijon mustard on the bun and accompany with either a Boar's Head or McClure's dill pickle spear, pepperoncini and chips of choice. Ice cold beer in a schooner is the perfect wash down.

Ok, so what's yours and don't spare the details on how to make it as that's the purpose of this thread, to add to our repertoire of delicious and not so healthy sandwiches.

Muffuletta. I can't find the Sicilian sesame bread where I live, but I'm spot on with the rest. I make them at home once every couple of weeks and sometimes throw them in my panini press.

I also do a good knock of version of French dips. I do the Mississippi pot roast recipe with pepperoncini peppers and shred the roast. Layer the roast and provolone on a sub roll and use au jus for dipping. A little bit of horsey sauce and you've got quite a meal!

Israel Mufelletta was one our 6th round picks this year. Not sure what he has to do with your go-to sandwich?

You can order it from Gambino's in New Orleans. They make that for Central Grocers and Progressive Grocers, the co claimers to the creation of the Muffaletta, my 2nd go to. They also have the Italian Olive spread that goes on them.

Ultimate breakfast sandwich. Fried egg and bacon. Grilled bagel, sausage and ham. Sometimes Ill use honey ham. Sometimes spicy. Grill it just enough to get it sweating a bit and let the juices flow. But not too long where you completely dry it out. Ive tried different cheese, but plain ole USA cheese is the best

Those are delicious however I usually get heartburn from them.

I'm a simple man, with simple recipes. Basically, if it takes longer to clean up than it does to make the sandwich, no thanks.

Honey maple ham, jalapeño/cayenne pepper cheddar cheese, roasted peppers, and mayo, on an olive oil baguette.

I've had the Gambino's olive salad but never the bread. I like the Boscoli olive salad a little better and I can buy it on Amazon. Central Grocery is the first place I ever had one. I'd always thought they were the best until I had Verti Marte who serve them hot. It's a big debate in Nawlins over hot and cold, but for me hot is the way to go. I had one at Cochon Butcher last time I was there. He's a charcuterie guy who makes his own meats and cheeses. That part of it was fantastic, but to highlight his meats and cheeses he barely uses any olive salad which was a bit of a drag.

I can't believe nobody has mentioned bologna. 90% of the time I eat a sandwich it's cheap white bread, a Kraft single, 1 thick cut slice of bologna, and a squirt of yellow mustard. Old school.

Prosciutto, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers, arugala, balsamic vinegar on a perfect roll. There's a few bakeries nearby and that fresh bread is the key!

Sandwich #2- Garlic bagel, scallion cream cheese, lox and raw onion..

Way too many choices but I will usually get a pastrami(or corned beef) on rye(swiss and a mustard) when it is on the menu.

Had in Italy many times and we go to a specific grocery store to get San Daniele prosciutto here in Texas.

That said, I am still a simple man at heart like @Runwildboys so my go to is a fried bologna sandwich with Mayo on fresh white bread that sticks to the roof of your mouth.

When I want something quick and simple, some pan-fried Spam on wheat bread with mayo, spicy brown mustard, lettuce and tomato.

One of my favorites is leftover pot roast sandwich. Course chop the pot roast, no shredding, I like having chunks in the sandwich and and add some gravy to the pan and let it simmer together. Toast a nice hoagie roll, add mayo on one side and spicy brown mustard on the other, add some lettuce, tomato, sliced onions and top with some pepperoncini or some japs. Sometimes I will melt some cheese on top, cheddar or a pepperjack, but most times I don't. Sometimes I'll make a pot roast just to make the sandwiches later!
