Update: Who makes Charlotte's best sandwich?

Voting's closed. Thanks!
Last chance reminder: NO anonymous comments will be counted. So if you want your vote to count, and you made it as Anonymous, please recast it in the next 30 minutes!

Each year, The Observer does a tournament, timed with NCAA basketball's March Madness, that focuses on one area dish. This year, we’re trying something new.

Here's how to comment, if you never have: Scroll to bottom of this particular post and click on the "119 COMMENTS" phrase. (Number may be different.) Then click on "Jump to Comment Form." Type your comment into the empty box, then click on Name/URL and enter your name or a screen name (like a pen name). Then hit "Publish your comment."

The category is sandwiches. But because so many restaurants offer so many sandwiches, and because I suspect readers know about some great ones I will never find, we’ll have readers “vote in” eight specific sandwiches from specific restaurants -- by commenting on this blog post by 5 p.m. March 7. For example, a reader might vote for the Darby’s Roast Beef Deluxe at the Common Market. You must name both the specific sandwich and the restaurant to have your vote counted. (PLEASE read the rest of the rules below before commenting!)

The eight specific sandwiches that get the most votes will be in the tournament. I’ll also choose the four most intriguing sandwiches suggested by voters – meaning that if there’s a sandwich that sounds terrific from the voter’s prose, but no one else seems to know about it, it can still make the tournament.

I’ll name an additional four of my own choices to round out our starting bracket of 16.

Other rules: No burgers. (That was last year.) No barbecue. (That’s in the future). No chains with locations outside the Carolinas.

And no anonymous comments will be counted. You have to have a screen name – which, as a reminder, doesn’t have to be your given name; this just allows us to count one vote per commenter.

After that, it’ll work as usual: I’ll create the pairings and publish the bracket March 9. Then readers will vote on pairings, and both those results and taste tests will be used to determine which sandwich advances.

We’ll announce the winner March 30.

Let the games begin. (Also: Folks who have Liked my Facebook page or follow me on Twitter @helenschwab got a head start on this. You can stay in the loop by Liking www.facebook.com/hsondining.

  17. Fried Green Tomato Grilled Cheese Sandwich at Gallery! THE BEST!!

    ReplyDelete
  18. The "Loretta Lynn" at Something Classic Cafe on North Tryon - spicy pimento cheese, tomato and bacon, grilled, a great (and sinful) take on pimento cheese. And you can get it with pickled okra instead of a regular pickle! Yum!

    ReplyDelete
  19. 2 sandwiches stand out amongst all others in my mind. And not only are they delicious, they are really affordable:

    - #6 Grilled Pork Banh Mi from Le's Sandwiches & Cafe at the Asian Mall on the corner of N Tryon and Sugar Creek. Best Banh Mi in town, hands down, and it only costs $3.50.

    - Egg Salad sandwich (panini?) from Sunflour Bakery. The bread is made in house, the eggs are sourced from a local farm using free range chickens. The eggs are coarsely chopped. Very little mayonaise. Perfect spice blend to accompany. Beautiful delicate flavor.

    ReplyDelete
  20. caprese sandwich from Ferrucci's in Cornelius. mozz, tomato, oil and vinegar, prosciutto, basil. all fresh on fresh bed.

    best sandwich around.

    ReplyDelete
  21. Chicken salad grinder at Arthurs is TASTY!

    ReplyDelete
  22. Is this really a sandwich ... I say it is: Fish tacos at Cabo Fish Tacos. I have tried fish tacos everywhere, and these are by far the best.

    ReplyDelete
  23. The All Star at City Deli and Bagel on Elizabeth Ave. All Boars Head meats pilled high on everything, but this sandwich is a combination of a Ruben and a Rachel stacked about 3 inches high. It is awesome!!! A true NY deli!

  26. Chicken Salad Sandwich from Fran's Filling Station

    ReplyDelete
  27. I'll second the #6 Grilled Pork Banh Mi from Le's Sandwiches & Cafe at the Asian Mall on the corner of N Tryon and Sugar Creek. While you're waiting for your sandwich, get a steamed pork bun for $1 from the place deeper in the mall with Peking ducks hanging in the window (not sure the name).

    ReplyDelete
  28. Chantilly Wedge at Thomas Street Tavern!

    ReplyDelete
  29. I want these comments to be counted again because I agree with them.

  30. Great point by Rob -- if you agree with a selection, DO COMMENT, repeating the sandwich. This is a vote, unlike other years in which I've asked for nominations first, votes second. Post your favorite, even if others have already posted it!

  40. The best Reuben in Charlotte is at Red Rocks in Strawberry Hill Shopping Center. I should know because if it's on the menu I order it! So many aspects to a good Reuben-quality corned beef, just the right amount of mustard and 1000 Island dressing, warmed swiss and sauerkraut and most important,grilled to perfection on authentic rye bread.

    ReplyDelete
  41. I second the Country Pate at Amelie's. Never thought I'd be a pate fan, but I saw this place and now I'm a believer (with apologies to Davy Jones, RIP).

    ReplyDelete
  91. The whoolis special is it. But the fri. special prime rib sand is of the wall. Not to forget all the subs are worth every penny you get MEAT on your sand, not just bread and veggies.

    ReplyDelete
  92. The Cuban from Midwood Smokehouse

    ReplyDelete
  93. The Cuban at the Havana Carolina Cafe in Concord (yes, Concord) hits the nail on the head.

    Just up from Tampa a few years back, the two foods missed most (and couldn't seem to find in Charlotte) were Thai and Cuban. Finally stumbled on Thai Marlai in Cornelius and the Havana Carolina Cafe right next to the parking deck in downtown Concord.

    Didn't expect much at first, but was instantly transported back to such legendary Cuban restaurants as La Teresita, the Lincoln, and the originator of the Cuban sandwich itself, the Columbia Restaurant in Ybor City.

    The garlic roast pork, the yucca, the ropa vieja, and the empanadas were just as was remembered and missed. Baking their own Cuban bread (like a sweeter, softer French bread) and using the roast pork, ham, swiss, mayo, mustard, and dill pickle as per the usual recipe, the Havana Carolina Cafe somehow elevates this simple combination far above the sum of its parts. Inexpensive and family friendly, to boot!

  197. Helen, I have been eating at Zink for years both the old downtown location and now the great southpark location, which is a little more convenient being closer to home. The lobster club is great, it is served warm and has pancetta (you can't go wrong putting bacon with lobster) I love it!
