For those who don't know: Road to the Skeleton Coast podcast/ Better Sandwich Patreon is an easy and great way to devote hours of your time listening to Brendan talk about music, his music, and many asides.

My point: I can now read all of these entries in his voice. Like Morgan Freeman. Shit's wild. Highly recommend.

Ham n cheese good. But hot ham n cheese much better.

Definitely second the thoughts re reuben. Russian, thousand islands, who gives a shit as long as it's saucy.

If you're not a fan of dry sandwiches, the Cuban, which in my experience is given a light slathering of mustard, is not the best. The Cuban Steak Sandwich (pan con bistec) however is much better and comes w fried potato

Straws on top.

I never knew how rare a good Italian beef was until I moved out of Chicago. What a shame as it is #1 best sandwich imho. Then a good pulled pork. Then a good chix sand

Although it was a pork sandwich w broccoli rabe that won the big competition of 2012

i used to have a customer at the gas station where i work that would make the same joke every day about his hot dog with pickles being a cuban dog. it never made me laugh then, and it still doesn’t. also, meatloaf is such a weird thing: weird to eat it as a slab of meat but also weird to eat on a sandwich. my mom would make one with velveeta inside though, and i can’t complain about that.

Fish + cheese is so fucking weird. My Finnish grandfather used to treat me to McDonald's when I came to visit and would let me get whatever the hell I wanted so long as I ordered two or three filet o' fishes for him (I believe he referred to it as "that fish"). You haven't truly lived until you watch an elderly, battle-hardened Finnish man house a tartar sauce/cheese slathered slab of fishstickery in an Oldsmobile.

Cheese sandwich all the way baby! What about PB&J? Powdered peanut butter vs the real deal?
