Searching For The Best Sandwich

sand⋅wich –noun Two or more slices of bread or the like with a layer of meat, fish, cheese, etc., between each pair. Trying to find the best sandwich out there!
New York City: Pork and Shrimp Sausage at No. 7 Sub
Very tasty sausage and nice bread, but there was way too much cilantro. A bit overpowering.

New York City: Scuttlebutt at Saltie
This is hands down the most original sandwich I have ever eaten, truly like nothing else I have had. And I mean that in the best way possible! The ingredients:
Hard boiled egg, feta cheese, capers, black olives, pickled vegetables, and pimento aioli
While structurally this was a nightmare (a lot of spilling), the foccacia was great, and the ingredients worked so well together. Pretty salty sandwich but not in a bad way. I highly recommend this one!

New York City: Super Heebster at Russ and Daughters
This was a great sandwich. All the flavors were subtle: not too fishy from the whitefish/baked salmon salad, not too spicy from the horseradish cream cheese, and a really cool texture from the wasabi infused roe. A must try!

New York City: Shrimp Roll at The Smith
Shrimp tasted fresh and the roll was nice, but overall this lacked the flavor shrimp and lobster rolls usually have and need.

Clinton Corners, NY: Tempeh at the Wild Hive Farm Store
Great spiced flavor to this tempeh, went really well with added sauerkraut. I’m new to tempeh and was pleasantly surprised!

New York City: Shrimp Po Boy at Cheekies Sandwich
I have pretty high standards for a po boy being from New Orleans originally and I must say this one comes close. The right bread (which is key) and great shrimp were spot on, but the dressing was a bit different. All around solid sandwich though from this easy to walk by spot!

New York City: Ham and Cheese at Bierkraft
Not your normal ham and cheese here, smoked ham and gruyere with the always amazing combination of spicy mustard and cornichons! Love this place.

New York City: Chori Pan at Coco Roso
Very tasty and a little bit spicy sausage, but could have done this sandwich better by cutting the sausage down, not just into two big pieces.

New York City: Tuna Burger at BlueFin
Well cooked tuna went really well with the avocado and spicy aioli. Kind of tasted like eating a sushi roll in burger form.

New York City: Bacon Cheddar Dog at Bark Hot Dogs
Just like the Pickle dog here, the bun was nice and buttery, and the dog itself has that great snap to it. The cheese however on this was kind of grainy in texture, and a little too processed tasting.

New York City: Caponata and Goat Cheese at Certe
I didn’t know what Caponata was (some kind of vegetable salad apparently) when I ordered this but it was so nice and sweet along with the tangy goat cheese. A nice surprise!
