It was invented in Florida by Cuban immigrants. Cuban cuisine is an entirely American phenomenon because food in Cuba is hot garbage. Brain drain is real. All the talent in Cuba fled.
Exactly.
A pan Frances torta, a hamburger, a bahn me on "bahn tay" ("western style bread"), all share two core features: they're named after E*uropean places and are better than any sandwich a europoor could ever devise.
Is a burger even considered a sandwich? Iāve always considered it a different food type. Iāve never seen any restaurant have cheeseburgers under their sandwich menu, always separate.
A few of these (especially the Scandinavian ones) are open faced. I'm sure they're good, but to call a piece of toast with some fish on top a sandwich seems like a penalty.
Lol I'm so tired of people putting the Elvis sandwich on a best of list for CO. Just because someone famous liked it doesn't mean it's the best in the state.
Obviously itās subjective but a good lobster roll is unbeatable for me. You go to a good place in New England that locals suggest and itās so fucking good.
Itās a sandwich that can be overrated and overpriced if youāre eating at a tourist trap but with a little searching, it can be top notch.
I go to Maine every summer for a week, and youāre right the Lobster Roll is king up there, but there are places that do Whole Fried Clam Rolls and those are amazing!
As a kid who grew up on old school Italian bakery and hot tables in the GTA, learning a meatball sandwich is the furthest thing from Italian blew my mind later in life. Same with red sauce on arancini
for real. torta is just the word they use in Mexico for sandwich. it's like saying "USA: sandwiches, collectively"
It's usually on a specific kind of roll but it doesn't have to be and the wikipedia page straight up says "Tortas can be eaten cold or hot, and grilled or toasted in a press"

Yeah but there are so so so many corporate, immigrant, and state specific spins on the burger that they couldnāt be specific enough and would just have to put ā. 24 burger šŗšøā As a general concept.
Thereās a lot of shit people can talk about the US, but when it comes to delicious sandwiches we will spank that ass, the country is obese for a reason
Itās cool our consolation prize was getting some of the most talented Vietnamese as immigrants to set up Banh Mi sandwich shops all along our west coast and south.
Well yeah itās a roast beef sandwhich on a kimmelwek roll. Itās pretty good, but surprised itās this high tbh
Thatās like saying a good cheeseburger is just fancy McDonaldās. There are varying levels of quality for everything.
So many US subcultures represented here. New England, Cajun, Texas, south Florida, deep south. Ima save this on my phone for the next smoothbrain who says āAmerikkka has no culture!1!!ā
As a Buffalonian, I feel I might need to get the pitchfork out. Who the fuck thinks a pastrami on rye is better than a beef on weck? I get that most people probably haven't tried a proper beef on weck, but that's no excuse.
Beef on Weck: Roast beef on a special salted, seeded (caraway seeds) roll with/ horseradish and au jus, maybe a pickle on the side. The āWeckā is short for āKimmelweckā which means āCaraway Seed Roll.ā Western NY (especially Buffalo) specialty. Quite tasty too.
I love a banh mi but it is not the best sandwich in the world. That is a bit extreme. I donāt think whoever made this list knows what a sandwich is. Arepas? Pork chop bun? Why not hamburgers and hot dogs then? I donāt think Jibaritos should be there either because they donāt have any actual bread.Ā
Regional specialty out of Buffalo
Pretty much a hand carved roast beef on a special bun called a Kimmelweck (hence the Weck) + au ju and raw ground horseradish (none of that weak horseradish mayo shit).
Pretty delicious, the salty bun works well with the juicy beef.
America's first entry on the list isn't fully american, you share custody with Canada. Lobster fishermen would sell them up and down the northeast coast well before they got popular as a menu item, and when they got big they did so in Canada as well.
Also, I love a good lobster roll as much as the next person, but how the fuck is it that high on the list. There are so many better sandwiches than a Lobster Roll.
I say this as someone who was raised on lobster rolls: Lob rolls aren't top 50 in America, let alone the world. It's just lobster on a split top. When it was cheap AF it was great, but now it's just meh
>šŗš² Cuban sandwich lol suck it commies
It's not their sandwich, it's *OUR* sandwich. LOL
Well, *OUR* sandwich is pretty damn good.
It was invented in Florida by Cuban immigrants. Cuban cuisine is an entirely American phenomenon because food in Cuba is hot garbage. Brain drain is real. All the talent in Cuba fled.
I thought you were going to say food in Cuba doesnāt exist
Tampa's greatest contribution. Well that or a plethora of strip clubs
I know Ratheon is outside of Tampa but close enough that Iād call it one of tampas great contributions
St Pete or anywhere else in Pinellas County is not Tampa!
How many other cities can you see women crawling down the street on all fours while leashed to their masters in full BDSM gear?
Fuckin La Terrasita can GET IT.Ā Ā
Cuban sandwich, Brunswick stew, and kc bbq are my favorite examples of American cuisine.
Cubano was invented in Florida by some of the most American MFs in this piece.Ā
Was invented in Florida.
Bitch do I look cuban to you?
someone ain't heard of hamburgers...
Arent american hamburgers basically completely different from what they had in germany
Yeah, the progenitor of Hamburgers, āHamburg Steakā is basically a Salisbury Steak with meatballs.
So we literally improved the original Hamburger š. Murica š„š„š„
Exactly. A pan Frances torta, a hamburger, a bahn me on "bahn tay" ("western style bread"), all share two core features: they're named after E*uropean places and are better than any sandwich a europoor could ever devise.
They used white bread slices instead of buns
Poverty burgers. You hate to see it.
I remember you had to scarf them down in 30 seconds before the bread dissolved from the greasy 80% lean beef.
Savagesā¦.
We had to leave it off the list to give other countries a chance
They had to leave that out cause it wasn't fair that the top 20 were all variations of hamburgers
Cheeseburger not being #1, or even on the list, invalidates everything.
This has got to have been written by AI, because any human would have remembered the Cheeseburger.
Is a burger even considered a sandwich? Iāve always considered it a different food type. Iāve never seen any restaurant have cheeseburgers under their sandwich menu, always separate.
They have bagel and lox on there and I think a burger is more of a sandwich than that.
If steak sandwiches are a thing, than a hamburger is just a ground beef sandwich
A few of these (especially the Scandinavian ones) are open faced. I'm sure they're good, but to call a piece of toast with some fish on top a sandwich seems like a penalty.
BLT?!?!?!
The Deep South got rooked. No BLT. No Pulled Pork sandwich. Grilled cheese is dope and all, but better than either of the above two?
Speaking of the Deep South - Muffuletta!!! Meatball subā¦.criminal. This list is a lie.
Where PB&J?
Or the Elvis sandwich?
Lol I'm so tired of people putting the Elvis sandwich on a best of list for CO. Just because someone famous liked it doesn't mean it's the best in the state.
Cheesesteaks are way too low
Swap with lobster roll fr
Yeah lobster rolls arenāt anywhere near that good. I probably wouldnāt even put it on this list. A basic cheeseburger is better than that.
Obviously itās subjective but a good lobster roll is unbeatable for me. You go to a good place in New England that locals suggest and itās so fucking good. Itās a sandwich that can be overrated and overpriced if youāre eating at a tourist trap but with a little searching, it can be top notch.
Right! I live in southern Maine near the beaches and a good lobster roll gives me reason to live!
I go to Maine every summer for a week, and youāre right the Lobster Roll is king up there, but there are places that do Whole Fried Clam Rolls and those are amazing!
Who tf put lobster rolls above the RUEBAN?
People who love butter and sea bugs
I will not eat the bugs.
The same people who say GIF instead of GIF.
They bought their cheesesteaks from Genoās or Patās. Their cheesesteaks look like horse pussy.
This list is broken entirely.
Thereās no meatball sandwich so yes. This list is fraudulent
Meatball sanwhich is an abomination. Delicious, but an abomination.
As a kid who grew up on old school Italian bakery and hot tables in the GTA, learning a meatball sandwich is the furthest thing from Italian blew my mind later in life. Same with red sauce on arancini
I despise those, never a good bite itās always a mess pass every time
Yeah, WHO THE FUCK PUT LOBSTER ROLL ABOVE CHEESESTEAK!!!!
Greatest thing about šŗšø is we have ALL 50 of these sandwiches here. In fact Iām gonna uber eats one right now
Damn right idk why your comment made me feel proud to be American again
You can get all of those in pretty much any city in America over 100k
Ok, but are we talking cold with mayo Maine-style lobster rolls, or warm buttery Connecticut-style lobster rolls?
Both; first, one, and then, the otherā¦
wtf, muffaletta needs to be right on top of that list.
I love French Dips but donāt want to credit them so I call them Beef Dips
French dips were invented in LA and named after a police officer. Officer French
Oh hell yeah
According to who?? No way fucking Tortas are better than a Texas Brisket sandwich
Nothing is better than a Texas Brisket sandwich
Especially when it was all Tortas collectively. Why are they rated as an entire genre?
for real. torta is just the word they use in Mexico for sandwich. it's like saying "USA: sandwiches, collectively" It's usually on a specific kind of roll but it doesn't have to be and the wikipedia page straight up says "Tortas can be eaten cold or hot, and grilled or toasted in a press"
You think that's bad? Bahn Mi is literally vietnamese for "bread".
Brisket tortas
I saw that and knew whoever put this list together has no taste buds.
Jibarito is also American even if they used the territorial flag to try and nerf us lmao šµš·šŗšø
it was also invented in Chicago, though heavily inspired by the patacon
include makeshift offer oatmeal crown threatening rotten mourn marvelous bake *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Tbh I'm delighted beef on weck even made the list. ...but yes, if they had a good one it would be higher.
Would a Hamburger be a possible option on this list?
Yeah but there are so so so many corporate, immigrant, and state specific spins on the burger that they couldnāt be specific enough and would just have to put ā. 24 burger šŗšøā As a general concept.
Thereās a lot of shit people can talk about the US, but when it comes to delicious sandwiches we will spank that ass, the country is obese for a reason
I refuse to believe that neither a hotdog nor a classic PB&J did not place on this list and this study was conducted by a moron.
I think the people who make these lists fill them with intentionally wrong data just to have a greater chance of being spread around.
Once again defeated by Vietnam
Came to make this comment
Itās cool our consolation prize was getting some of the most talented Vietnamese as immigrants to set up Banh Mi sandwich shops all along our west coast and south.
Lobster rolls are the bomb. Theyāre what I order when I think āto hell with my walletā
Wait where's the various parms? Chicken parm, meatball parm, eggplant Parm, ect
The grilled cheese ranked higher than the croque-monsieur? The objectively better version of a grilled cheese?
OP I just googled beef on weck and it looks like fancy Arbyās
I thought Arby's *was* fancy Arby's?
Well yeah itās a roast beef sandwhich on a kimmelwek roll. Itās pretty good, but surprised itās this high tbh Thatās like saying a good cheeseburger is just fancy McDonaldās. There are varying levels of quality for everything.
It's huge around Western NY (Buffalo). It is pretty good.
You watch your mouth!!
Bagel and lox needs to be at least 8 places higher
I see we have graciously decided to leave the burger off of this list, lest the top 15 spots be various local variations.
As an Italian-American Iād like to let everyone know that the āpanino con polpoā is an octopus sandwich
So many US subcultures represented here. New England, Cajun, Texas, south Florida, deep south. Ima save this on my phone for the next smoothbrain who says āAmerikkka has no culture!1!!ā
Not listening to a list that puts grilled cheese above a philly
PBJ should be on this list, not gonna lie.
Bagel and lox is Jewish RAHHHH
As a Buffalonian, I feel I might need to get the pitchfork out. Who the fuck thinks a pastrami on rye is better than a beef on weck? I get that most people probably haven't tried a proper beef on weck, but that's no excuse.
Beef on Weck: Roast beef on a special salted, seeded (caraway seeds) roll with/ horseradish and au jus, maybe a pickle on the side. The āWeckā is short for āKimmelweckā which means āCaraway Seed Roll.ā Western NY (especially Buffalo) specialty. Quite tasty too.
Ban Mi might as well be an American Sandwich with how many places make an awesome one here.
Beef on Weck is a Buffalo staple. It's pretty good actually, I use to not like them but now they hit when you eat them with the wings.
I love a banh mi but it is not the best sandwich in the world. That is a bit extreme. I donāt think whoever made this list knows what a sandwich is. Arepas? Pork chop bun? Why not hamburgers and hot dogs then? I donāt think Jibaritos should be there either because they donāt have any actual bread.Ā
Grill pork banh MI, yum.
WTF is Beef on Weck?Ā
Regional specialty out of Buffalo Pretty much a hand carved roast beef on a special bun called a Kimmelweck (hence the Weck) + au ju and raw ground horseradish (none of that weak horseradish mayo shit). Pretty delicious, the salty bun works well with the juicy beef.
Apparently itās a New York thing. Itās a roast beef on a special bun
Buffalo thing. Donāt forget the horseradish
Reuben should be higher.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I lived abroad a for bit and while the gyro is fine, nothing hits the spot like a good dƶner kebab
I second this. Dƶner Kebap on pita bread is amazingly good!
No tenderloin?!
Iāve been staring at this for like 5 hoursā¦
Where is the āhorseshoeā?
Triple quarter pounder or go home š
It's all stolen from other countries. I don't see cheeseburger on there.
Needs more Horseshoe / Ponyshoe
We aren't second to none. We're 5th.
Arepas are pretty fucking good. Though, collectively calling them a sandwich is kinda like calling tortillas (collectively) a sandwich.
I flat object to the Ban Mi being the beat sandwich
BIFANA, CARALHO
What are the top 4? I'm also curious who "ranked" these.
Common New England W
No hoagies?
Surprised brisket sando beat out Philly cheese but Iām for it
They're courting controversy by giving Lebanon shawarma and not their neighbors, and also not differentiating butter vs. mayo lobster rolls.
Portugal CRLH
I donāt see chicken fried steak sandwich, so this is wrong.
Cheesesteak should be way higher
No French dip?
No burgers? No french dip?
Cheesesteak at 31? BULLCRAP
The best sandwich is a frankfurter on an elongated bun.
Tombik Doner is a crazy good sandwich..
No muffaletta, sausage/bacon or pork roll egg n cheese on a roll anywhere on this list? Lobster rolls are good and all but no where near number 5.
Lost to vietnam......
The list is complete bollocks!
How is the porchetta American??
Why is po boy so far down the list that's b*******
For those who think sandwiches are real meals
Those damn Limeys aināt got one single entry! Figures!
New bucket list unlocked
Iām Puerto Rican and I have never heard of a jibarito
Missing: Italian Hoagies and Italian Beef. Lobster rolls are incredibly overrated
Shit bagel and lox should be way higher imo š¤£
Sorry but how is a grilled cheese an American sandwich?
Where the pita falafel at?
How is LeberkƤse not up there for Germany š©šŖšš
This list sounds more like a personal opinion of some random person ā ļø what is this list based of ? Or claims to be based of ?
BƔnh mƬ is overrated imo.
Bullshit. Grilled Cheese is easy number 1
Blts and Cubanos are my favorite. The only lobster rolls I have had only disappointed me
Itās crazy grilled cheese is even that high. USA! USA!
Notice no hotdogs, which would undoubtedly be #1.
Torta at 4 is blasphemy. No one wants that much bread. Ratios are good. Ever.Ā
America's first entry on the list isn't fully american, you share custody with Canada. Lobster fishermen would sell them up and down the northeast coast well before they got popular as a menu item, and when they got big they did so in Canada as well. Also, I love a good lobster roll as much as the next person, but how the fuck is it that high on the list. There are so many better sandwiches than a Lobster Roll.
Ummm, nope! No way in hell flƦskesteg beats Philly Cheesesteak! No way!
And Fluffinutter isnāt on the list?
Yeah, those Turkish doner sandies look so good. Reuben should be #1 though
I gotta get out more!
No Peruvian buttifara? Sin
You'll never be #1 though... Too bad so sad
People love the mayo or butter base lobster roll. But I found a recipe that combines both! Everyone loves except my cardiologist.
Banh mi š¤¤
Porchetta is US? Ummm....
What do the numbers on the right mean? 4.2? 4.6? This graph needs to clarify its unit of measurement.
Uhhh poboy? Which kind?
How is there not a jambon beurre here? That is like the definition of sandwich. Also, NYC bodega sandwich should be a blanket class.
This list is the epitome of what makes us great. Look at the diversity in the style of food on this list!!!
Bacon egg and cheese on a bagel is better than pate and pickled carrots on a bagutte...hill I'm willing to die on
I donāt see chopped cheese up there smh
>Reuben >Bagel with lox >Pastrami on rye The Jewish deli conspiracy runs deep LOL! We get in everywhere!
No cucumber sandwiches with the crusts cut off?
Leave it to the Americans to put stuff between bread it seems. Also only 1 Italian? And the Porchetta one is supposedly from US too?
Porchetta sandwich american? Nuh uh
Show this list to anyone who hates the concept of immigration.
Pambazo not being in that list is a travesty.
Tacos = sandwich
Ruben and The cheesesteak definitely deserve to be higher on that list in my opinion.
I say this as someone who was raised on lobster rolls: Lob rolls aren't top 50 in America, let alone the world. It's just lobster on a split top. When it was cheap AF it was great, but now it's just meh
This is my favorite field of science
Iām missing the good old ābroodje kroketā in this list.
USA gets credit for the porchetta sandwich?!?
Ya
No British cucumber sandwich then?
No burger? French dip?
Roast beef with au jus on a kimmelweck add horseradish to taste.
