I promised myself I wouldn't vote cheesesteak but I am tempted to as a revenge vote for pastrami. Also with banh mi gone I'm a little past caring.

Villian1 wants to vote cheesesteak but isn't currently able to access his account. I'm working on that but if someone wants to vote on a gimmick in his honor it would be appreciated.

I guess too many people eat their Reuben at Irish restaurants...

Reuben fans,

The cheesesteak lobby has an impressive get out the vote operation.

Six votes down with about an hour left in the contest, and at most there are maybe 1 or 2 cheesesteak votes I might disqualify.

It's now or never, people. Call your friends, call your neighbors, hell, call your enemies if they have good taste in sandwiches!

I mean, it's nearly impossible to find an Irish bar that serves food, serves corned beef, and doesn't have a Reuben or a very close analog to it. What city(s) are you are talking about here?
So searching menus, I find something Reubenesque (usually basically legit except many have weird sauces) on most of the places we've gone for session. I honestly never noticed it before, but it seems to be pretty common.

Basically, yes, it seems to be on the menu of each one that has corned beef and cabbage. Learn something new every day. Still do't think of it as an Irish sandwich, though. More a target of opportunity for leftover corned beef.

Since when does a Cheese Steak have to have The Wiz? Screw The Wiz, that stuff sucks.

Thinly sliced rib eye, provolone, grilled onions, hot cherry peppers and mushrooms on a fresh baked Amoroso's Italian Roll. Tough to beat my friends. Love a good Reuben as well but I had to give the nod to the Cheese Steak.

The run of the mill Reuben> than an average Cheesesteak but then again I have had some Cheesesteaks that blow doors off most Reubens. But the Reuben at the old Carnegie Deli in NYC is better then any Cheesesteak evar, so I'm voting Reuben.

Of course my vote shouldn't count because I like my Reubens on Sourdough instead of Rye.

That’s pretty much identical to my findings and thoughts about it yesterday.

No, it's called Philly cheesteak because its philled with a bunch of mediocre ingredients and is a cheap but philling sandwich.

If you want a real sandwich, with actual flavor, try one of these:

Sandwich lovers,

Congrats on correctly identifying the most generic, safest, crowd-pleasing, lowest common denominator sandwich, the cheesesteak, for the title of OOT Sandwich Champion.

****ing idiots.

Bout to make an Italian beef in honor of our fallen brethren. Too bad she didn't make the dance. This Cinderella is the true goat. Thinly sliced roast beef, gravy made from the beef drippings, fresh turano rolls, and extra hot giardiniera.

All hail cheesesteaks.

Breakfast sandwich is a worthy runner up though.

One thing I learned from this competition. You wanna really know what makes a person tick? How they think. Their views on the world. What's the cut of their jib? Just start talkin sammiches. I can see an influx of this question being asked at job interviews in the near future.

Nothing brings out the passion of mankind like their willingness to defend their favorite sammie.
