It's a ridiculously low rank for this wonderful culinary creation.#31 - Texas Brisket sandwich
Country of origin: USA
Chopped or sliced smoked brisket on your bread of choice.
This is one that may rank higher once I visit Texas. What I've had at recommended BBQ places locally have been very good, however.
Absolute criminal ranking.#30 - Reuben
Country of origin: USA
Corned beef, sauerkraut, Swiss cheese, topped with Russian or Thousand Island dressing, on rye bread, then grilled. Creamy coleslaw replaces the sauerkraut in some places.
I would rank this higher, but I'm not the biggest fan of sauerkraut. I still love everything else about this sandwich and will eat one regardless.

The Travelin' Lobster near Bar Harbor, Maine FTW!!!#32 - Lobster Roll
Country of origin: USA
Lobster meat tossed with either mayonnaise ("cold") or drawn butter ("hot") stuffed into a slit opening at the top of a grilled bread roll or hot dog bun.
As much of a mayo fan as I am, the best I've had have been the buttered variety, but both are excellent. Have never tried one outside of Boston area so not sure how well it has "traveled" to other parts of the country.
#33 - Shawarma
Country of origin: Turkey
Flatbread with meat (traditionally lamb) cooked on a vertical spit. Additional fillings include vegetables such as tomato, cucumbers, onions, and pickles, and a sauce, often yogurt- or tahini-based.
My go to order at most Mediterranean/Middle Eastern restaurants.

And yet I would prefer to eat in sandwich form over 40 over sandwiches.It's a ridiculously low rank for this wonderful culinary creation.#31 - Texas Brisket sandwich

Another where I probably would prefer to eat it in non-sandwich form. And I assume it will end up ranking higher once I go to the source.
Joe may ban you for defiling brisket's good name with a 31 rank.#31 - Texas Brisket sandwich

30??! You're a wild man. Reuben is easily a top 5 sandwich.#30 - Reuben

Mustard works really well in place of the Russian dressing or Thousand Island, but I can't comprehend your hatred of sauerkraut. It's the
of toppings for cured meat.

Reminds me of a place in door county that served a deep fried Perch BLT. So damn good though the crab does sound better.

I've expanded my horizons in the past 20 years or so with being married to a Cajun that loves sushi. Crawfish boils, yum. Sushi, yum. Spicy foods, yum.
#28 - Gyro
Country of origin: Greece
"Pita gyro" or "psomaki gyro", depending on the type of bread used, includes meat roasted on a vertical spit, with tomato, potatoes, raw, often red onion and tzatziki sauce, wrapped in pita or sandwich bread.
The Yeeeee-ro. Very similar to a Shawarma, but there are key differences that distinguishes each, mainly seasonings and typical choice of meat.
This is top 15 for me.#28 - Gyro

This is really the hitch in the sandwich. When done right it is phenomenal but so many places don't get it right that it is terrible and a waste of a meal. How much this should factor into the overall ranking is up for debate.
To be honest, this should only be ordered at a deli, preferably a kosher deli, so that should limit your risk considerably.
this is in my top 10 for sure.#36 - Fried Chicken
Country of origin: USA
Boneless fried chicken in between two slices of bread/roll
Bread can be anything from a biscuit to a waffle. This sandwich comes in many forms and I like just about all I've tried.
Aka "the Greek taco."#28 - Gyro

Havarti came in at #30
i missed that thread as it unfolded, but too low.
PB&J ranked all the way at the bottom is criminal, but I might excuse it if the Elvis is in the top 10 as deserved.
You have ****ing processed American cheese as #1.
Nah spam is like Velveeta. Trash compared to the other stuff, but nuanced enough it has its place.
#40 - Bacon Butty
Country of origin: England
The bacon butty is a British sandwich consisting of crispy bacon, butter, and either HP Sauce (a British “brown sauce” akin to steak sauce) or ketchup, all stuffed between two slices of soft white sandwich bread.
The British BLT, minus the LT. I have a British friend who made one for me telling me I would like it way better than a BLT. While I did really like it and I recommend it, he was wrong. This is a simple sandwich that requires great ingredients to be good. And use HP sauce, not ketchup.
#37 - Roast Pork Sandwich
Country of origin: USA
Roast pork sandwiches are a staple of numerous sandwich shops throughout Philadelphia. The bread roll is typically topped with sesame seeds and loaded with a generous spoonful of pork juices. It is then stuffed with either sliced pork roast, roast pork chunks, or pulled pork, along with broccoli rabe (or spinach), and melted cheese such as provolone.
Had this alternative to the cheesesteak at a local philly cheesesteak place. Loved it as an occasional alternative to it's steak sister sandwich.
