That is why I dislike McD's, they put so much sauce on everything that I feel like I am drinking the sandwich! I do like their tartar sauce but even that drips out of the fish sandwich. Needless to say if we eat there I always order the fish sandwich.
Favorite sandwich ?

Jersey tomato sandwich with salt and pepper, light mayo.
Yeah! I guess that's why dogs like dropping hotdogs in the dirt before eating, too!
Absolutely have to have those peppers on the Italian beef! Extra juicy, too!

Reubens!
- corned beef or pastrami; I like both altho Spouse prefers corned beef
- dark rye, very lightly buttered on outside only for proper pan-frying
- braised sauerkraut
- Gruyere is better than generic Swiss
- Russian dressing is better than Thousand Island
The two best places - one a German biergarten, the other a fancy CA Wine Country resort - both cure their own corned beef. Yummy!

My favorite also. Tomato must be home grown.
A friend referred to these as ’sink sandwiches’ because they’re so messy you have to stand over the sink to eat them.

There are so many!
Cold meatloaf or cold roast pork and onion are hard to beat.
Usually, it's the struggle sandwiches I grew up with that I crave the most.
Things like a fried egg, grilled cheese, baked beans, olive loaf, PB&J, bologna, etc...

I don't like mustard or mayo, just plain ketchup for me. I like ketchup and barbecue sauce, but detest any oil based product like salad dressing for example (that is just plain salad). So a hamburger with ketchup (or perhaps with a bit of onion, tomato, lettuce) is my favorite. (Oh and no pickles either, yuck!)
was the staple food after school...

BLTs but being allergic to tomatoes 
haven't eaten one in years.
haven't eaten one in years.I just noticed you're from Chicago...I was born and raised there until I moved when I was 32. No wonder Italian beef made it to our list! No city in the world makes 'em like in the windy city.

I love sandwiches .. different breads, different fillings.. but nothing beats a hot bacon sandwich on soft white buttered bread...or a 'chip butty'... thick French fries on buttered soft white bread...
Can't have them often.. in fact I can't remember the last time I had a chip butty, but it's delicious!!
Tonight when I got home I had a bacon and red onion Baguette

True that!
What part of Chicago are you from?I lived in a couple areas. Northwest side mostly, around Austin and Fullerton, then on Laramie. Then I moved further north to Waukegan. My husband was from the south side. I haven't been back in a long time...is it still nice on the northwest side?True that!

Found a recipe for making my favorite sandwich in an Air Fryer.
Turned out pretty good.
The sandwich is the famous 'Monte Cristo'.
Takes about 10 minutes in the fryer and minimum clean up (using parchment paper).
7 mins. on one side, flip, 3 mins on that side, at 370 degrees F
The fun is choosing the dipping side to change the sandwich's taste.

I don't eat a lot of my favorites anymore, but here they are:
Fried baloney, white bread & mustard
Hot dogs, fried until black, with relish
Genoa salami, Swiss cheese or provolone on a toasted & buttered sandwich size English muffin.
Peanut butter & Jelly on white bread (still eat this often)
Pork Roll (called Taylor Ham in some areas), fried egg and cheese on a roll.

Jersey here also...nothing beats a good Jersey tomato. Haven't had a good one in years. Back in the 70s, they were on vegetable stands everywhere.

I wrote some ad copy for a McDonald's ad, back in the 80s. The slogan I came up with was, "McDonald's ----- it's slightly better than starving to death."
yeah, they put so much sauce on everything that you don't notice you are eating lightly sauteed cardboard...
Oh, I forgot about that one! Yes, also a fav!
