It’s no secret that we love to eat. In our travels, we’ve been blessed to experience some of the best food on the planet. We’ve compiled a list of 13 sandwiches that should be a part of your culinary Bucket List! We have pictures of most of these sandwiches; however, some sandwiches were devoured before we took out our cameras, so we borrowed photos from Yelp or Trip Advisor. It is important to note that this list is no particular order They all rank number one with us!
1. Muffuletta
from Central Grocery in New Orleans, Louisiana. The famous Muffuletta sandwich consists of layers of meats, olive salad, and cheese on a loaf of round Sicilian sesame seed bread. Need we say more?
2. Ghetto Burger
from Ann’s Snack Bar in Atlanta, Georgia. Miss Ann, the proprietor and sole employee of Ann’s Snack Bar, is Atlanta’s version of the Soup Nazi, She has very strict rules posted on the walls along with an article from the Wall Street Journal proclaiming her Ghetto Burger as the best burger in America! There’s always a wait but it’s always worth it.
Miss Ann assembles her famous Ghetto Burger consisting of two beef patties, cheese, caramelized onions, deep fried bacon!
3. Mallorca
from La Bombonera in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico. La Bombonera has been in operation in Old San Juan for over 100 years. As a breakfast sandwich, the mallorca is the best thing that’s ever passed our lips.
4. Ahi Burger
from Gott’s Roadside in St. Helena, California. A perfectly seared chunk of sushi grade ahi tuna with ginger wasabi mayo and Asian slaw on a toasted egg bun right in the heart of Napa county’s wine country.

5. Pitts-Burger Cheese Steak
from Primanti Brothers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. How can you not love a sandwich topped with coleslaw and french fries!
6. The Ringer
from Guy’s Burger Joint aboard the Carnival, Sunshine cruise ship. We were so impressed with these cruise ship burgers that we asked them to let us shoot a video of how they are made.
7. Angels on Horseback Po-Boy
from Superior Seafood in New Orleans, Louisiana. It’s no wonder that we always gain weight when we visit New Orleans. This bacon-wrapped fried oyster po-boy is worth every calorie.
8. Corned Beef Ruben
from Greenblatt’s Deli in Hollywood, California. We asked the locals and they were right! This ruben ROCKS!
9. Pulled Pork BBQ Sandwich
from Payne’s Bar-B-Q in Memphis, Tennessee. There are a ton of awesome BBQ joints in Memphis, but when it comes to the BBQ sandwich, Payne’s pulled pork shoulder topped with mustard slaw is hard to beat.
10. The Hot Brown
from the historic Brown Hotel in Louisville, Kentucky. This open-faced turkey sandwich with bacon and Mornay sauce is a Louisville tradition with worldwide appeal!
The Hot Brown from the Brown Hotel in Louisville is worthy of any bucket list
11. Morenos’ Cuban Sandwich
from Morenos Cuba Cafe and Bar in Miami Beach, Florida. This is probably the best Cuban sandwich you can experience outside of Cuba. The secret to the sandwich is the mojo slow roasted pork which is the star of the sandwich’s other ingredients: ham, Swiss cheese, Moreno’s sauce, pickles, and mustard.
12. Sausage Sandwich
from the 900-year-old Historic Sausage Kitchen in Regensburg, Germany. While on an excursion of Europe’s Christmas Markets with Viking Cruises, I waited in line for about 40 minutes, in freezing temperatures, while desparately needing to use the restroom to have a couple of these sandwiches. They were totally worth the wait and discomfort.

GREAT list! Thanks for sharing!!
Good list. I like that you have Primanti Brothers on there. And you are correct about Memphis bbq. Payne’s is good. My favorite is Central BBQ.
We love Central BBQ as well. Memphis is a great BBQ town!
When I saw the title, first thing that came to mind was Primanti Bros. glad to see it was there !!
No Philly cheesesteak? Where’s the love?
Briana, the only reason a Philly cheesesteak didn’t make our list was that we haven’t yet been to Philly to experience it. Where do you recommend we go to experience the best?
So many sammitches, not enough time.
I just returned from Pittsburgh but did not get a Primanti sandwich (this time). BTW, there is a Primanti in Ft. Lauderdale.
Charles!! Thank you! What’s the best sandwich you’ve ever had? Sandi

These sandwiches were incredible …as evidenced by my waistline:)
