Katz's Delicatessen on the Lower East Side arguably has the best pastrami in NYC, but Carnegie Deli has the biggest, without a doubt. Between the Bread reader Danielle recently ordered the $16 Reuben at the famous Midtown deli. All I can say is, OMG.
Write Danielle: "There is bread way down under the piles of pastrami. I added lots of mustard." It's possible to have too much meat, but you can never have too much mustard.

Since Skinny Girls, Big Sandwiches seems sadly defunct, I'm keeping the dream alive, with help from the fabulous Alicia Hortman Hartfield, who should be an inspiration to us all. As the guest at a recent wedding, she didn't let her sandwich craving interfere with her dancing and merriment agenda.
To anyone planning to attend our upcoming wedding, please note: there will be sandwiches and there will be a dance floor. Do with that what you will.
Meanwhile, send your sandwich photos to nancy@betweenthebreadblog.com.
I haven't been able to go east to feast on the lobster glut that's making NYC a more delicious place, but Between the Bread reader Phil is on the scene. At a recent visit to Sag Harbor, NY, he sampled the bounty at Bay Burger.
That is not a mini lobster roll, just a normal-size lobster roll in front of the world's largest ketchup bottle(ew). At $14, Bay Burger's lobster roll was overflowing with top quality lobster meat and not too much mayo. See it in action!
Sandwiches don't need to be iconic to be yummy. At Temptations in Wilmington, NC, my mom enjoyed this turkey panini, expertly pressed wth gouda cheese, spinach, artichoke, and aioli. Plus a side of fruit for a well-balanced lunch.
My dad makes a mean focaccia in his wood-fired pizza oven. I cannot control myself around it, especially when it's fresh out of the fire. You could put pretty much anything in between that focaccia and I would eat it.
But my dad really takes it to the next level with this, his favorite sandwich: hot, fresh focaccia folded around gorgonzola and mortadella.
In these amazing photos taken by my stepmom, he uses rosemary focaccia, which he pulls apart to stuff with filling. Check out photos of the process after the jump.
After declaring Il Cane Rosso's warm egg salad sandwich one of five San Francisco sammies I need to try ASAP, I suggested to Andrew (my intended) that we meet there for lunch sometime. So the next day, he went without me.
I know, I can't believe it either. But I can't be too mad, because he took a photo of his sandwich and emailed it to me. Or maybe he was just gloating. Regardless, doesn't this milk-braised pork sandwich with fennel and green olive tapenade look divine? I think I have to go this week, without Andrew.

Sometimes, an unfussy sandwich made from everyday ingredients is just so perfectly constructed, you have to take a photo. For instance, Andrew's recent lunch of ham and white cheddar on Milton's multigrain bread. I think it might be smiling for the camera.

Between the Bread loyalist Lizzy (who you may remember from her amazing leftover turkey sandwich) has gotten the turkey-sandwich-at-work bug. And she's come up with an innovation I have yet to dabble in:
I have been making sandwiches a lot at work lately (a great way to save money and eat healthy). The sandwich I have made four times this week is turkey, avocado on wheat bread. Today, I ran into a little problem that happens to all of us sandwich eaters: there were three pieces of bread left in the bag, two of which were the super thin end pieces.
So what did she do? "I decided to just use all pieces and simply layer the avocado and turkey throughout. The result was a tasty, triple-decker sandwich! I mean, we have all seen it with the Big Mac and the Club, but I have never made a sandwich like this before, nor thought to do it. Have you ever made a layered sandwich?"
Now that she mentions it, I don't think I have! Anyone else?
After seeing how I yearned for a beef on weck, my Buffalonian buddy Josh made a special trip to Charlie the Butcher, his weck destination of choice, located "on an awkward corner adjacent to the Buffalo Niagara airport." Not only did he take a bunch of photos ("Everybody thought I was crazy snapping photos every 5 seconds," he says) but he also sent in a wonderfully written account of his 'wich trip.
If you want to be as awesome as Josh, share your own sandwich by emailing your photos to nancy@betweenthebreadblog.com, along with a description of what's on your sandwich. Meanwhile, check out Josh's trip to Charlie the Butcher below!
Last time I stepped out for lunch at Working Girls, I went for a veggie sandwich. Andrew's Friday lunch is significantly meatier, and the melty goodness is making me jealous. It's ham, salami, cheese, pepperoncini, tomato, and lettuce on a soft, balsamic-soaked roll.
