Fantasy Draft: Sandwiches

Moochies is good fish. How dare you blaspheme that hell hole of a sandwich shop. Which mooches? I've only been to the one downtown.
 
Best Cuban I've ever had is the one at bocata in the city creek center. It's awesome. As is their BBQ chicken.
 
If those mall choices are your favorite Cheesesteaks then you must not have ever tried DP Philly Cheesesteak. They are one of the best, if not the best in town.

DP is the best cheesesteak place I've found in Utah. Really pricey though, so I don't go there much even though there's one very conveniently located.

I really miss a local (non chain) place from my grad school days on the road bordering UC Berkeley on the south. Can't remember the name, but the cheesesteak was outstanding.
 
I've been to Moochies once, and I had their Philly cheesesteak. Didn't care for the liquid nacho cheese in the sandwich, and I never returned.

Melted American cheese is the same as nacho cheese? It is the same family and recipes for Moochies as the best Philly cheese steak place in Philly: Tony Luke’s. Although Phillies do traditionally use cheese wiz american cheese, they use real melted american cheese, although I think you can get it with provolone instead at moochies if you want. Thin sliced ribeye with american chees, onions, peppers, mushrooms and personally I like it with their Jalapeno sauce stuff on it, not sure how anyone thinks there is a better Philly in SLC.

Maybe you and Fish dont like real Phillies?

This does make me question all of yours and Fishs food opinions.

Have they always used melted American cheese? It's been a while, but when I had it (like 8 years ago?), I remember them using dripping orange nacho cheese. And if a real Philly has cheese wiz on it, then yeah, I doubt I'd like that one either.

While there is no accounting for taste, I am actually quite the foodie. We probably like different things tho. For example, the two times I had Proper Burger, I found it very meh. You mentioned that you loved it. Different tastes.

I think nacho cheese has something added to make it more runny.

Philly Cheesesteak


16c6306007869a0eafe0aa4d7c959e52.jpg


This hot, heavy sandwich includes steak and cheese. Steak and Cheese. Steak. And. Cheese. We're not counting calories in this fantasy land of sandwiches, and it'd be wise to grab something that will fill you up. This sandwich comes highly regarded for one reason: it does not outthink itself. It simply throws a couple of the most delicious ingredients on the planet inside a highly inclusive form of bread. Throw on some sauteed mushrooms if you wish, some carmelized onions, grilled peppers, perhaps some jalapenos like I enjoy it, anything that blends well with Steak and Cheese


Scenario:
You are hungry + You are a man + You fear disappointment = Order a cheesesteak, idiot





Even the loony liberals and cold conservatives agree, as their most famous of representatives equate a search for cheesesteaks to a pilgrimage to Mecca. See here:

Best of all, you can write down your order as 'Cheesesteak' or 'Cheese Steak' and be correct.
 
Philly cheesesteak with nacho cheese is not a philly cheesesteak. That's just dumb people from Utah.

Excellent formatting and pick. Although Im not a huge cheesesteak fan, I can not deny its place as one of the most classic and timeless sandwiches in existence.

Thank you, good sir. The key for me was to do what this wonderful sandwich does, and not try and get too cute. Steak and cheese, bro. Steak and cheese.
 
Like I stated before, I'll take the Cuban.

While there is some debate as to the contents of a "true" Cuban sandwich, most are generally agreed upon. The traditional Cuban sandwich starts with Cuban bread. The loaf is sliced into lengths of 8–12 inches (20–30 cm), lightly buttered or brushed with olive oil on the crust, and cut in half horizontally. A coat of yellow mustard is spread on the bread. Then sliced roast pork, glazed ham, Swiss cheese, and thinly sliced dill pickles are added in layers. Sometimes the pork is marinated in mojo and slow roasted.[7]

The main regional disagreement about the sandwich’s recipe is whether or not to include salami. In Tampa, Genoa salami is traditionally layered with the other meats, probably due to the influence of Italian immigrants who lived side-by-side with Cubans and Spaniards in Ybor City.[9][3][15][16] In South Florida, salami is left out.[17] An 1934 travel article describes a Tampa Cuban sandwich as a "complete meal" consisting of ham, lean pork, Swiss cheese, soft salami, dill pickle and a "liberal moistening of mustard" served on "very crisp and crusty" Cuban bread.[14] These ingredients are reiterated 27 years later in the first and all subsequent editions of "The Gasparilla Cookbook" (1961), a still-popular collection of Tampa cuisine.[18]

Mayonnaise, lettuce, and tomato are usually available options throughout Florida menus but are usually frowned upon by traditionalists.[2][6][7][15][16][17][19]

When assembled, the sandwich can be toasted in a sandwich press called a plancha, which is similar to a panini press but without grooved surfaces.[6] The plancha both heats and compresses the sandwich, which remains in the press until the bread surface is slightly crispy and the cheese is melted.[16] It is usually cut into diagonal halves before serving.
