the best sandwiches in america

By way of Crain’s, I came across this article in Esquire featuring the best sandwiches (sans burgers) in America. And wouldn’t you know it, three of the best-sliced bread treats can be found right here. There is also a recipe from Michael Symon for the ultimate breakfast sandwich. And I’m also happy to report that another favorite is from Salumi in Seattle. I can vouch – the porchetta is heavenly.

The Cleveland nods go to:

1. Trailer Park Monte Cristo / Beachland Ballroom
2. Corned Beef / Slyman’s
3. Polish Boy / Freddie’s Rib House

Now having what I would call the best sandwich in Cleveland at Melt, I have no doubts they will find a rightfuly earned place on next year’s list.

Has anyone tried Old World Deli's gyros in Brunswick?

Hey Mark - Congrats on your nod in Cleveland Mag! Yeah, not sure why McDonald's was included, but who cares - Cleveland continues to receive great national press!

I saw that list too, but I found myself suspect of the entries. Obviously there are some top notch sandwiches listed, but there is also the McRib. Too bad they didn't take the time to develop a list based on a consensus.

I always had a soft spot in my heart for the Chicken Whoppee at Diane's on Detroit. Or maybe it was a hard piece of plaque. That sandwich is a heart stopper, that's what I'm trying to say.

Steve's Gyros is the only place in town for some deliciously greasy lamb meat.

For a new taste check out the Falafel at Maha's, and for an old one have a brat at Frank's.

Sean - thanks for commenting. Do you recall where in the market you had the gyro? And since I'm not an avid Maxim reader - ha, when is the article coming out?

Ah - Seattle, my other favorite city. I was just there for the first time this past October and loved every minute of it and can't wait to go back, hopefully in the fall.

My wife and I shared a gyro at the W Side market. Sharing food is something I rarely do (my metabolism is that of a migrating sea otter), but it was the best gyro I have eaten in my 34 years. Look for the article from "Maxim" promoting their gyro.

I have eaten the polish boy at Freddie's. I can't believe it made this list.

I wish MS would put his sandwich on the lunch menu at Lola, I'd eat there every week :)
