America didn’t invent the sandwich—that honor purportedly goes to John Montague, the 4th Earl of Sandwich (1718-1792). But if we didn’t create this sublime, handheld delicacy we damn sure perfected it—from the decadent lobster roll to the gooey genius of the Philly cheesesteak. So, with an open mind and an empty gut, we went in search of the best sandwiches this country has to offer. Burgers were off limits (we’ve already named our top ten), but just about anything else between two pieces of bread, including egg foo yung, was fair game. ![]() ![]() Feb 9, 2010
