That’s one sandwich im not a fan of. Maybe I’ve just never had a good one but they are a pain in the *** to eat. I usually end up taking a bite and then pulling a whole piece of steak out

And items like turkey, apple, brie with a savory jam or relish
wonderful ahi sandwiches in hawaii
many aiolis to accompany them
i guess, as favorites have started to pop up, my list to him when he first posted:
in no particular order...
bahn mi
Rueben
monte cristo
French dip (we could include Italian beef)
shrimp po boy (with remoulade, not mayo)
muffuletta
Italian sub
paninis
cheesesteaks (i'll allow the white American, prefer provolone)
brisket/pulled pork
club
cubanos
lobster or crab rolls (butter, not mayo)
for me... grilled cheese, but more exotic combos

Like I said in the OP, it's nuanced. To me, a burger, has it's own name and it's own section on the menu. That's one way it separates itself from a sandwich. I don't argue with anyone who says it is a sandwich because I don't disagree.
But as the great Joe Bryant says: "That's not what we are going to be doing here".

#50 - Peanut Butter & Jelly
Country of origin: USA
Peanut butter and jelly or jam on bread
An American classic and probably a favorite if you are 8 years old. Personally, I never liked so much sweet on a sandwich, so my variation as a kid was peanut butter only and it knocks this one to the bottom of my rankings. May not be a popular decision.

i'll occasionally snack on these. pb on each slice of bread, preserves on one. misc bonne maman, sometimes guava preserves

#49 - Chicken Salad
Country of origin: USA A sandwich which typically consists of shredded chicken mixed with chopped veggies and mayonnaise served between slices of bread, on a bun, or on a roll.
Not a favorite, but I'll eat it if it is served. The consistency of the chicken salad is important here, to not soak the bread.

#48 - Bologna
Country of origin: USA Traditionally made from pre-sliced bologna sausage between slices of white bread, along with various condiments, such as mayonnaise, mustard, and ketchup
Another childhood favorite that gets passed by better sandwiches. I ate this regularly as a kid, crusts cut off. I still occasionally throw a slice of bologna onto a meat heavy sandwich.

includes hamburger and hot dog
I would like to emphasize I appreciate the effort here by my GB
it's a low bar but I'm expecting this to be of a far higher quality than the "cheese" exercise

Thanks! Yeah the exclusion of hamburgers and hot dogs is just a personal choice.
I feel like you could have a top 50 burger countdown, so that could be a separate exercise.

#47 - Vada Pav
Country of origin: India
Vada pav, alternatively spelt wada pao, is a vegetarian fast food dish native to the Indian state of Maharashtra. The dish consists of a deep fried potato dumpling placed inside a bread bun sliced almost in half through the middle. It is generally accompanied with one or more chutneys and a green chili pepper.
Fried carb overload. If you are fortunate enough to have an Indian restaurant that serves these, you should try it. These are excellent. The more chutneys they give you to try it with, the better.

It definitely belongs, I have it ranked higher but I can’t tell you the last time I had one. I do eat toast with peanut butter and jelly probably once a week though
I’m pretty particular on my chicken salad, less is more IMO. Chicken and mayo would be fine for me. If you need to add celery or onion needs to be paper thin. Maybe some walnuts for crunch. Then you get weirdos who add apple or grapes#49 - Chicken Salad

I’ll probably eat one once or twice a year. Bologna, maybe some American cheese and mustard / mayo. Wife puts chips on hers. Fried bologna is solid too, see it at restaurants occasionally but im rarely going to order it over a better sandwich. White bread preferred if cold

#46 - Egg Salad
Country of origin: USA Egg salad is a dish consisting of chopped hard-boiled or scrambled eggs, mustard, and mayonnaise, and vegetables often including other ingredients such as celery. It is made mixed with seasonings in the form of herbs, spices and other ingredients, bound with mayonnaise.
I occasionally get the itch for one of these which makes it my favorite of the "Salad" sandwiches.

#45 - Ham and Cheese
Country of origin: USA
Ham and cheese, often on white bread
Another classic, and while I like it if the ham is good quality, I often go for other choices for a standard lunchmeat and cheese sandwich.
Struggling with this one in my rankings
Cold lunch meat ham and cheese on white bread - meh
Hot ham and cheese - better
Then you get a nice stacked ham on an onion roll from a proper deli or sandwich place and you’ve moved it up a bit

on the flip side, i cannot get near regular mayo so chicken salad, egg salad (also stay away from hb eggs), seafood salads are often out for me (though i understand people like them)

Even at the peak age of 7, I never liked PB&J. I mean it's ok, but I have never craved one even once. And Peanut butter and honey is way better. Good choice to recognize it (it's iconic, for sure) and slot it 50th.#50 - Peanut Butter & Jelly

Yeah I think the versatility of the ham sandwich vaults it higher for me. I do have a few on my list with separate hot and cold versions but in those cases I think it’s justified

A good tri-tip sandwich is a better alternative IMO. Generally gets chopped up in thinner, smaller portions. Big fan. Not too many places will offer them, even on the west coast, but when I stumble up one on a menu, it's going in my belly.

I'm a big fan. Don't make it often, but my MIL and SIL love my chicken salad so I'll make it for them and always enjoy it myself.
Also, I've got a recipe that uses avocado instead of mayo and it's excellent.

Until they sit in a pantry for several months. I ordered some on Instacart for a fishing trip during the pandemic. I'd never had them before that. Everyone on the trip loved them and I decided to make them a regular snack for us on fishing trips. We got back and I threw the extras in the pantry to pull out for the next trip a couple months later. Since I bought them on Instacart I had no idea they lived in the freezer. The honey and peanut butter on wheat actually held up in the sense that they weren't as good but they also weren't gag-inducing repulsive. The other flavors not so much.
