Are These the Best Sandwiches in the World?

The sandwich is, at heart, a humble creation: two slices of bread, with stuff in between them. We eat sandwiches all the time--good ones and great ones and less good ones that are still pretty good--and think nothing of it. The sandwich is simply always there, ready to be made--or bought--and consumed.

But some sandwiches are something else. Some sandwiches--yes, those basic combinations of bread and stuff--are worth not merely seeking out at your local deli or recreating in your kitchen. These are the sandwiches for which you'd renew your passport, buy a last-minute plane ticket, and endure the savageries of international flights or at least an interstate road trip. They are the sandwiches dreams are made of. No, wait, that's backward: They are the dreams sandwiches are made of.

This month, we asked our editors a simple question: What sandwich would you get on a plane for? Their answers are below, but we'd also like to put the same question to you: What bread-and-stuff combo you'd cross the country or the globe for? (And please, include a photo if you can!) We'll gather up your responses and post them back here on the site the first week of April.

The first thing I do in Italy is head to an Autogrill for a Rustichella, a grilled sandwich of smoked pancetta, provolone, and oregano. So obsessed, it was once my email address.

In Seattle, I always leave time to stop by Macrina Bakery in Belltown on my way to the airport to pick up a banh mi: Lime-marinated flank steak and pickled carrots and radishes, ginger aioli, and Sriracha on crusty Italian bread.

The fried green tomato BLT with spicy mayo at Hominy Grill in Charleston. Homemade bologna with pickled veggies on foccacia at Blue Hill Stone Barns Café in New York. The lobster roll at Mike's on Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. Egg salad pretty much anywhere.

Still my childhood favorite: Hard-boiled eggs and pickles in a baguette. It was made at the corner store I grew up next to in Tehran; my older sister and I had a running tab with the merchant there. I've had a million fancier sandwiches since, but no sandwich is like the sandwich of your youth.

Attman's Deli is downtown Baltimore is located in a slice of town known as Corned Beef Row, and that's exactly what you should order.

Saucisson sec on a baguette--with tangy butter and cornichons. From any bakery in Paris.
