Breakfast sandwich is the only one left that I would try to avoid at all costs. I like (love?) biscuits, toast, bagels, tortillas etc and almost every one of the popular fillers individually. But combined, they are generally little more than an inedible solid stew.

I never had a cheesesteak that did not sorely disappoint me with its unparalleled blandness.

Anything else is a possible champion in my book, though pulled pork and BLT are my favorites. I would hate to see it come down to a finals between those two, but that isn't likely.

Never had banh mi, but can't wait to try one and I feel I could support one in good conscience over some of these contenders without ever tasting one.

Another reason that spider's pic is ineligible:

"2b Breakfast sandwich (egg + bacon/sausage + cheese)*"

That's a fried chicken sandwich with an egg addon, not an egg sandwich with fried chicken. Do you know what a noodge is ?

Many ppl's go to breakfast sandwiches are on bagels or biscuits. Is an English muffin also excluded? I almost never go for a breakfast sandwich on a plain roll or bread.

And how are you defining bread? Some of those are listed on wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_breads

Seems like a very gray area. People should vote on the breakfast sandwich they would get tomorrow if they wanted the best reasonably available version without qualification.

Ya was about to post that I've never seen that word nor heard it uttered before. I would have no clue what's on this and as a sandwhich lover I need to investigate lol.

Results will deserve an asterisk. When OOT history is written, you're gonna be on the wrong side of this, ElD.

Sapo,

It’s just a slippery slope, brother. What next, pitas? Croissants? Arepas? Pupusas? Burritos? Pizzas?

You gotta draw the line somewhere. And bread seems like a good place to draw it!

With 2 days of voting left, Breakfast leads Brisket by 1. And then .... Black Biscuit Tuesday.

Watch. I voted for Breakfast Sandwich, but when people realize they can't get it on a biscuit, Brisket will pull ahead.

ElD sorry if clarified previously but is it brisket sandwich delicatessen style or Texas brisket?

Also sorry to screw it up but I want to write in Italian subs and fried bologna from Western NY.

Ridiculous! Pitas, yes. Croissants? Of course.

Arepas, Pupusas, burritos and pizzas are all foods unto themselves. .... Not that I wouldn't eat a pizza-stuffed arepa or a burrito filled with pupusa, but finding the italian mexican salvadorean kitchen to make it could be tough.

Nit: bbq brisket Texas style, not Jewish deli brisket

Sapo: pitas and croissants and biscuits and bagels, but not arepas or tortillas? Good thing we don’t do politics in OOT!

Pizza is technically an open face sandwich: piece of bread with stuff on it

If you fold the pizza slice does it become an actual sandwich?

The time to litigate what qualifies as a sandwich for this contest has passed. Decisions were made. Just vote.

Chop, Sak:

Part of the banh mi problem is it isn’t that photogenic a sandwich compared to some of the others.









So damn delicious, though.

On top of that, you have a lot of voters with American palates who just prefer maximum fat and salt bombs vs a more balanced sandwich.

I voted for bagel breakfast sandwich because f the rules. breakfast sandwiches are most commonly served on bagels.

I love slow-cooked meat as much as the next guy but come on. reuben vs. pulled pork vs. brisket vs. pastrami is kind of lame.
