Having to choose between the cheese steak and a Dinics Roast Pork is the definition of unfair.
Yeah, I know....John's Roast Pork too. And Delasandro's Cheese Steak. This wasn't an easy selection.
gee, why didn't we ever do this before?

Philly cheesesteak, just the meat, wit, and lots of fried onions (peppers are permissible) on a fresh hoagie roll. Mushrooms and sauce need not apply for me.
Thats what I went with too, but its a little like that old SNL Jeopardy bit about da Bears vs da BullsRoast Pork.
No balsamic-marinated portobello with melted provolone, grilled onions, sun dried tomatoes and garlic aioli?
Will agree and disagree. Here in Berks County, can consider sub, hoagie and italian interchangeable. Grinder is toasted version.
Well I just ate half a large Italian hoagie for lunch. Capacola, Genoa salami, provolone, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, oregano, oil and vinegar, on a good Italian roll.
But my choice which I don’t see listed is a corned beef special - corned beef with coleslaw and Russian dressing on fresh hard crusted rye bread.
The key to any great sandwich is the bread. If it looks like white bread (or rolls), unless you’re doing a PP&J, it belongs in the bin. It’s amazing what restaurants around the country try to pass off as a Philly Cheesesteak. Some even have the nerve to use mayo and cheddar cheese. They are clueless.

Kind of depends on what you mean by favorite. Are we talking "if I had to eat the same sandwich every day for the rest of my life what would I pick" (cheesesteak) or "If I never got to eat this sandwich again, I'd be the most sad" (reuben) or "What sandwich do I get the most excited about?" (Muffuletta because I would only order that in New Orleans, which means I am in New Orleans, which is pretty exciting. As an aside, not even close to the best sandwich in New Orleans, but very strong)
I just (today) ate a muffuletta from Central Grocery in New Orleans, thanks to Goldbelly mail order.
Nice list! I love sandwiches, so I'm going all of the above!
The Banh Mi is way underrated.

Similar but you would never put Swiss cheese or butter on the grilled rye bread on a corned beef special because it wouldn’t be kosher. No self respecting deli would dare.

CC Pepper's Italian hoagie with vinegar and oil and mayo (and I don't like or use mayo for anything). I had it for a late post-game dinner and brunch the following day with every breakfast place packed.
That's my problem. So I figured I would poll the BWI community. And I love me a good Banh Mi (combination #1).
Central Grocery is definitely the only spot I would get one.
I honestly think that, in terms of traditional sandwiches, po boys from Parkway are better than muffuletta from Central (I'm partial to the oyster, but roast beef is very strong as well). In terms of best sandwich in New Orleans (not necessarily traditional) is usually on the menu at Cochon Butcher.
I love me a good Po' Boy, but I ran out of room for choices in the poll. I would have included a Po' Boy, Greek gyro, and French Croque Monsieur, at least.
Sitting here self quarantining with my wife, I posed the question to her. Her favorite is a whitefish salad with lettuce and tomato on rye (from Fitzpatricks Deli in Somers Point NJ).

Yes, but it has only very recently become commonly accepted that the most important component of a sandwich is the bread or roll used. As such, those previous threads are outdated and useless.

You really need to come to Portland if you haven't been (maybe we've had this conversation before?)
Lardo's Pork Meatball Banh Mi

Personally, the idea of French fries on a sandwich is not very appealing. But I also ran out of room for options.
Delasandros has been open. Stopped there the other day and had a cheesesteak on the field across the street. Tasty.

Intentionally left off the poll (to rile up yinzers like me...).
Of those listed, I voted Italian Hoagie. Not listed, I'd go BLT (w/sriracha and mayo).
Also primanti's is a sandwich in the same way that a po boy is a sandwich. It can be almost anything and isn't specific enough to vote on.
