Best Sandwich in Connecticut

There’s so many sandwiches it all depends on my mood. There is no correct answer to this question

Yeah, there are so many great choices that there is no reason to settle for anything less than great.

The "best" is usually the one I'm eating at that moment.

One of my faves and most frequent purchases is the Chicken Flag from P&M in New Haven: Chicken cutlet, fresh mozz., tomato, basil, salt, pepper & olive oil on focaccia bread.

I was expecting some really controversial statement like a hotdog recommendation after that first sentence. Is there anyone on earth that wouldn’t consider a grinder a sandwich?

It's the Boneyard. I expect everyone to argue everything.

yes, there is a correct answer -micky d's mcdouble. 2 set u back around 4 bucks, and with a free water tossed in, ur aboot as good as a gaffney free throw. widely and easily available, and 100% consistent, whether you grab it in new paltz, new-ark, or new haven. and don't come at me with 'a burger is not a sandwich' cuz two pieces of bread with stuff in between is a sammich. long ago, fortuna's had one called 'the Conquering Hero.' sometimes, we'd skip mickys to get that, when we had all afternoon to eat it, digest it, and try to walk again.

Went their last week for the first time. 5 cutlets piled on top of each other with cheese and sauce on top. Had a half grinder for 7.50. They could have sold it for twice that and i would have understood.
My kid had a sausage grinder I think and he loved that as well.

La Teresita Restaurant in tampa. Off of Columbus.​

My abuela lived 3 blocks. Could almost see the bucs stadium and the Yankees summer campus. Some would say the
Columbia Restaurant was the best..
 
My house.
Made my girlfriend a special today as we both remotely taught.
Rustic French bread
Black forest ham
Slightly warm goat cheese so it spreads
Tomato thin sliced
Arugula with seasoned garlic oil.
Pickled red onions
Mustard with slight amount pickled liquid.

Then pressed

Well if we're leaving CT, I think the three best sandwiches in the country are all in New Orleans:

Cochon de Lait Po-Boy at Jazzfest (from Love at First Bite)

Muffuletta from Central Grocery

Le Pig Mac from Cochon Butcher (which also makes a killer Cubano)

wait, hoad up, is this a sammich, or is it a job? let's review.
Rustic French bread -will wonder bread work?
Black forest ham-not a ham eater, and no chicken either, since that stuff is nyet as well.
Slightly warm goat cheese so it spreads - what?
Tomato thin sliced-check
Arugula with seasoned garlic oil. -who?
Pickled red onions- only if i can fish them out of the beets jar.
Mustard with slight amount pickled liquid.- which mustard? frenches or guldens? define 'slight.'

Then pressed- 1/2/2? 2/2/1? 3/1/1?
on the udder hand, i fully expect her marriage proposal to you any day now.
 
Since we seem to be completely blowing up the whole "in Connecticut" part of this, I'll add the La Nonna Panini at Tino's Deli on Arthur Ave. You have to like Garlic, but I still have not yet topped that sandwich. It's phenomenal.

I’ll have to check it out next time in down there.

My favorites in the Tampa Bay Area are West Tampa Sandwich, Stone Soup in Ybor, and Bodega in St. Pete.

Domilise's off the menu special.
 
Do burgers count as sandwiches? If so, for me the iconic CT "sandwich" is a Shady Glen cheeseburger. Most consumed is probably that Ted's cheeseburger grinder. When your college doesn't feed you on weekends, you need something like that.

The article has mostly terrible choices. The Kansas one is an abomination. Missouri too is completely wrong.

That looks like it doesn't suck

Oddly, some of the best sandwiches i've ever had were cheesesteaks from a couple of places in the Lowell, MA area. But I can't think of the names of any of them.

I went to Franklin Giant yesterday for the Combo grinder. It was great. I don't know if it's the best in the state but I hadn't been for awhile and I was happy.

I’d heard it shut down. Nice to hear not so. Been out of the area for a while. I make a great meatball sub, but don’t want a bunch of crazed UConn fans at my door.
 
and if we're cleared to venture outside of CT, classic pastrami and swiss on rye @ carnegie deli or katz's...killer

In the breakfast sandwich category: bacon, egg and cheese from Country Cow in Fairfield. I don't know what they do, but they're just better.

I'm actually interested in some thoughts on best cheesesteaks in CT.

Cook and the Bear’s cheesesteaks were amazing. Miss those
