No votes for the classic muffaletta?
I must agree, when Hem and I first met he made me this Italian sandwhich, and I was hooked. So, hooked, that I can't eat any other Italian hoagie. Unless, they are a WaWa Italian hoagie, which Hem also introduced me to. Lot's of sweet and hot peppers and the meats are sliced nice and thin.Hemingway Jones said:The best sandwich in the world is one I make
Italian roll, Provolone, Proscutto di Parma, Genoa Salami, and Capicola, with balsamic vinegar and olive oil - a touch of oregano. -Washed down with red wine over lots of ice.
Other favorites: grilled cheese with crispy bacon in the cheese.
Philadelphia Cheesteaks, my home town. But not with the Cheezwiz we give tourists.
But this is about sandwiches. The muffaletta is a muffelatta, not a muffaletta sandwich! That would be like saying "tuxedo suit!" Seroiusly, though, Central Grocery has the original, since 1906, but it's hard to park down there. I kinda like the toasted one, with the olive salad on the side, from Mark Twain's on Metairie Road.Pilgrim said:No votes for the classic muffaletta?

There's usually a big revolving skewer in the window with marinated chicken roasting on it -- and a short order cook with a sword or a long knife shaving very thin slices off it as it turns. This goes into the pita along with with a garlic-mayonnaise sauce, cucumber slices, diced tomatoes, and lettuce. It's the sauce that makes the sandwich -- every shop has its own blend. It's perfect street food, rolled up and served in a foil cone.
