The Sandwich Scale

I think we are all a little tired of 1-10 scales, mostly because some doucher always says "I give it a 12" or something else that is 110% stupid. To avoid that unhappy state, anything reviewed on this site going forward will be ranked on the following scale. If you have trouble following along, well, just enjoy whatever sandwich you've been blessed with.

A Little Bit of Italy (Amighettti's) - The finest pure sandwich of all time.
Amighetti's Special - Second best sandwich in the world next to its teammate (from above). This top two would be like Lebron James and Dwyane Wade, except this sandwich actually is the second best one ever.
Cuban with Smoked Provolone - You can never have too much swine on one sandwich
Muffaleta - It's the olive spread, yo.
Pulled Pork – This is the middle of the road for Sandwiches. Dump enough BBQ sauce on this and it’s hard to screw up.
Roast Beef – Tends to make me just want pork
Reuben - A fine sandwich to be sure, but this sandwich has a propensity to over-promise and under-deliver
Cuban with Swiss - We just can't get down on holey cheese.
MLT – Mutton, Lettuce, & Tomato where the Mutton is cut nice & thin
Egg Salad - Some things just can't be untasted.


Please enjoy this list as a reference, as a window into our psyche, and as an appetite whetter.

In the meantime I need to give them puppies an MLT. [...]
