Po' boy >>>>>>>> phillycheessteak

how can a sandwich be greater than a sandwich?

 

[General Malaise]

No, the rest of the country calls them something different too. Some places will call it a SUB sandwich, other parts of the country will call it a HOAGIE while still others will call it a GRINDER. Do you really believe there's not a difference between a sandwich and a hoagie/grinder/po'boy/sub???

all different words for the same basic thing. meat and cheese usually stacked inside of bread, otherwise known to the world as a sandwich.

Sub, Hoagie, Grinder, Hero, Po Boy, Banh Mi, etc.

you questioning shuke's expertise on the subject of sandwiches?

This is a sandwich

And THIS is a Po'Boy

They are not the same thing. Not even close. Just because a motorcycle has wheels, an engine and is used for transportation does not mean it is a car. Stop pandering to Shuke.

 

[Fennis]

And THIS is a Po'Boy

Man, that is a good looking sandwich. Makes me hungry.

 

[General Malaise]

Hoagie

Sandwich

 

[Plorfu]

And THIS is a Po'Boy

That looks delicious, but I usually just get my French dips with cheese.

 

[Fennis]

Hoagie

That's a Zep

Sub

Sandwich

Not trying to pander here but yeah a hamburger is sandwich. It's meat between two pieces of bread. Pretty much the definition of sandwich.

A key ingredient that differentiates po' boys from other submarine sandwiches is the bread.[1] Typically, the French bread comes in 10-ounce, 32" long "sticks". Standard sandwich sizes might be a "Shorty", measuring 5"-7.5": a quarter po'boy, 8": half po'boy, about 16" and a full po'boy, at about 32" long.[citation needed] The traditional versions are served hot and include fried shrimp and oysters. Soft shell crab, catfish, crawfish, Louisiana hot sausage, fried chicken breast, roast beef, and French fries are other common variations.

Are hot dogs sandwiches? No. End of thread/

Sorry GB GM but you are completely utterly wrong.

A hamburger (also called a beef burger, hamburger sandwich, burger or hamburg) is a sandwich consisting of one or more cooked patties of ground meat (usually beef) usually placed inside a sliced hamburger bun. Hamburgers are often served with lettuce, bacon, tomato, onion, pickles, cheese and condiments such as mustard, mayonnaise, ketchup and relish.[1]

The term "burger" can also be applied to the meat patty on its own, especially in the UK where the term "patty" is rarely used. The term may be prefixed with the type of meat as in "turkey burger".

I had a debris po'boy in Texas back in January. It was absolutely incredible. Tip of the hat to Weinberger's Deli. It was a Saturday Special and it was outstanding.

Yeah, I get it. I know it falls under the sandwich description. But people don't call it a sandwich. They call it a hamburger. Why? Because it's not a sandwich. It's a burger.

Again, do you call a hot dog a sandwich? Of course you don't.

 

[rockaction]

Somebody should try Louis' Lunch burgers in New Haven sometime.

Not a national chain. Nothing to do with the In-N-Out vs. Who (?) thread. Just the whole sandwich/burger debate got me thinking.

Louis' Lunch is a nice, thick patty, stuffed between two slices of white bread with tomato and onion. Grill has been seasoned for over a hundred years. Good stuff.

I hate tomato and onion on my burgers, but this is awesome.

 

[pollardsvision]

I don't refer to my car as an automobile, but it still is.

 

[rockaction]

I've actually never came up with a reason to visit Philly before.

American history down?

I guess, but if I'm going to the East coast it's tough to pick Philly over NY or DC.

DC? Really? Not being a jerk, just...we would vacation in Philly over time off in DC when we all lived in DC.

But apparently, DC has changed. Massively. I remember when Logan Sq. had reasonable apts. for like 600 bucks. So, there's that.

I don't refer to my motorcycle as a motor vehicle, but I have to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to license it... just like a car.

Either way, muffalettas are probably more iconic.

100% spot on

Was waiting for someone to point that out.

if we are going to throw a New Orleans sandwich in the ring the muff is the only way to go.

For those who are unfamiliar:

Muffaletta. That's not four of them, that's one.

Sorry, but there aren't muffalata shops on Bourbon St. Its certainly more distinctive, but its not more iconic.

 

[Scoresman]

a hot dog is not a sandwich because the bread is on the sides not on the top and bottom. duh.

a better question is whether a hot pocket is a sandwich.

 

[Scoresman]

also, if you fold your pizza like people in new York like to do, does that make it a sandwich?

if you are folding it in half, you are basically eating some type of pizza sandwich or calzone.

What makes you think you can't buy a muffaletta on Bourbon?

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

Central Grocery is kind of the place to go for a Muffaletta, no? Seems close enough to Bourbon Street to me.

there's hot dog stands all over Bourbon Street too but that doesn't make it an iconic New Orleans food item.

customer: give me a Po Boy

server: what kind?

customer: Just a classic New Orleans style Po Boy. The ones I've been hearing so much about.

server: there's no such thing. it's just another word for a sandwich on french bread.

customer: oh

customer: give me a cheesesteak

server: coming right up

If you ever do end up in Philly and go to 9th and Passyunk to hit Pat's, please make sure you don't order "a cheesesteak." Be sure to order either : "Wiz wit", "Wiz without", "American wit", "American without", "Provolone wit" or "Provolone without." And don't try to order fries or a drink from that window, move one window over to do that. It's not quite "Soup Nazi", but if you breach protocol, they're going to fire some serious South Philly attitude at you (especially if it's busy, which it usually is) and people on line will snicker at and make fun of you. Not like you'd care what they think, but it's not the most pleasant experience.

I've been to pats once. The employees were terrible to everyone, even those observing protocol, and the food was just ok. It definitely wasn't worth the hype, or even wandering around that area of Philly for.
