definately the Trailer Trash Zombie at Zombie Burger. You have the burger topped with chesse, fried pickle slices, cheese curds, chicken fried bacon(wow),and ranch mayo...i am craving one now, dammit. Except aftwards my burps taste like bananas, not sure how that happens.

Durkee Famous sauce >>> mayo >>> Miracle Whip

If it's good enough for Augusta National, then who am I to argue?

This is very good...they serve it out at Des Moines Golf & CC as well.

Anyone talking about miracle whip on a sandwich should be immediately removed from this conversation.

I started toying with "artisan" breads recently, the Foccacia's and Ciabatta's of the world and found them to be excellent additions to any plain-jane sandwich.

Also, if I go more than a week without thin cut corned beef, I get the shakes.

Op: can I get a ****in' pickle?

I toast a layer of cheese on top of a mound of shaved ham, while that is going, I prepare my sliced pickles and tomatoes. I decide if I want yellow or spicy mustard- sometimes yellow isnt as dominating. After the sandwich bread is toasted and the cheese is melted, I put mayo on the other slice of bread and then put pickle slices (crispy baby dills, about 6 in total- split and forming a layer) then lettuce, then tomato- then I join the other half and cut diagonally.

I then pile olives on the side because one olive is not enough.

If it's going to be regular sliced bread, then anything other than a good potato bread is a failure.

If it's going to be an epic sandwich, any bread that comes out of a bag sliced is a failure.

Oh, and no way does Miracle whip ever touch a good sandwich.

And if I don't make my own, I order the #9 Italian from Jimmy John's :smile:

I personally think that just about any sandwich you can make at home sucks. It's just not as good. If I were to pick (in no real order):

1. #8 Billy Club from JJ (EZ Mayo)
2. Garbage Deli from Hickory Park
3. Rueben from Palmer's Deli
4. Cuban from West Town Pub
5. Chicken Philly from Pepperjax
6. The Original from Schlotzky's Deli
7. Cheesesteak from Da Vinci's
8. Zach's Italian from B&B Grocery and Deli

In my opinion, no sandwich can be epic without jalapeno slices.

I was using epic more in a sense of a giant sandwich that you have to eat with two hands. I would put bacon on there but I don't want to waste the time with the prep on the bacon.

I keep this in the fridge for such reasons:

Because of this thread and since I live in Chicago for the time being, I went to Fontano's Subs.
