I have a very very difficult time ordering anything but a Reuben with a pickle and coleslaw if I know the Reuben is made with good corned beef, a lot of cheese and the coleslaw is solid. Every once in a while I like an italian meat sandwich, but I tend to regret it about 3/4 of the way through.
That is, of course, unless I'm living in Philadelphia and it's prior to 2005, in which case things change dramatically. But Poor Bob Koch went and had himself a heart attack, so the beautiful, magical sandwiches of my college era have gone to whereever great sandwich makers go when they die. I still have dreams of turkey, corned beef, potato salad (yes, in the sandwich) and provolone cheese on a hoagie roll. It almost brings a tear to my eye.
