Nice sandwich for a manga cake like you 5 teamer, but no Italian worth his salt would call that the best sandwich ever.

The best sandwich ever would have to include Prosciutto and Provolone.

Like Italians are experts on meat........pleeez.

Move to the midwest and have a steak or real burger/sandwich.

Italians are best with wine and pasta.......and a few desserts.

Provolone is also GREAT in a calzone.

I have a sense of humour Fishhead, and I had a good laugh at that one!

I've yet to see a fine restaraunt that featured: "fine midwest burgers/sandwiches"

The Italian pizza places/sanwich shops in Toronto are second to none, I've been to many US and Canadian cities and tried them all. Toronto has some very good eats.

5teamer, I like Swiss cheese, but it tastes kinda neutral.

Hamburgers and steaks in Texas, Colorado, Iowa, and Nebraska is the best in the country...........residents in these states get a good laugh when Italians think a Philly Cheesesteak is the ultimate meat sandwich. ..........or better yet, a New Jersey resident raving about bologna and/or salami.

Italians in the US are much different than the ones in Canada, the Italians immigrated to the US first and have been there alot longer, the ones here are more recent and still hold on to alot of the old customs/traditions.

I don't doubt the food you mentioned is very good, but my favourite "sandwich meat" is prosciutto.

Personally, I like everything, and can rave about a cockroach sandwich.




By Jay P. Wagner / November 12, 2006

TThe hamburger arrives at the table in Gunder perfectly cooked, adorned with sautéed mushrooms and onions, and resting on a fresh bun.



That’s a bit of a surprise, because when you first hear about the Gunder Burger (AKA “The Wonder in Gunder), a 1-1/4 pound behemoth of beef, you might think of it as more of a novelty than good eats. It’s both.



“It’s the double whammy of taste and size,” says Kevin Walsh, who owns the restaurant with his wife, Elsie.



The burger, 80 percent lean ground beef, measures eight inches in diameter, is more than an inch thick and takes 20 minutes to properly grill. “The secret is the grill,” Walsh says.



The Gunder burger is a challenge for nearly everyone. Tbe jumbo burger measures 8 inches in diameter and is more than an inch thick. The burger was created nearly 15 years ago by a now-retired cook at the Irish Shanti, although no one remembers exactly why. It’s been a beacon to hungry pilgrims ever since.



Gunder, population 28, is located in Clayton County, at the crossroads of county roads B60 and B64. Elgin is seven miles to the west. Elkader is 12 miles to the south. St. Olaf – home to its own culinary giant, the big-as-a-pizza pork tenderloin at St. Olaf Tap – is eight miles south. Decorah, where a good number of the burger’s fans – students at Luther College – come from, is 30 miles to the north.



Gunder, to be brutally frank, is in the middle of nowhere and a little hard to find. Ask my five-year-old boy, who wondered why we passed through Elkader twice en route to the Irish Shanti. But it’s still the epicenter of the burger world for many eastern Iowans. And the drive offers two rewards: a full stomach and some of the most beautiful scenery in the state.



Once you get to Gunder, particularly on a Friday or Saturday night when the restaurant goes through a quarter-ton of ground beef, you won’t have to ask directions. The Irish Shanti is the place with all the cars lined up front. From the outside it looks like a roadhouse; on the inside it’s clean with a pleasant dining room. One wall of the place is decorated with winners of various Gunder Burger eating contests, including Colter Kirby, who polished off three and one-half burgers on Sept. 24, 2005. There was no sign of young Mr. Kirby the night of our visit.



The Gunder Burger is the star of the menu and goes for $7. The Irish Shanti also offers a variety of other sandwiches as well as steaks, pork loin, shrimp, home-fried chicken on Thursdays, and a dish known as “Poor Man’s Lobster,” a whitefish served with lots of butter.



The food and the beauty of the trip makes the Shanti a popular destination in the summer for Iowans who love a Sunday drive and is frequented by motorcyclists and car enthusiasts who congregate in the parking lot to admire one another’s machines.



“Someone at nearly every table orders a Gunder Burger,” Walsh, a Boston native, says. “About 30 percent of them finish it.” If they don’t, to-go boxes are available for lunch the next day.



For the record, my plate was clean when I walked out the door.



The Irish Shanti is located in Gunder, at the intersection of County Roads B60 and B65. The restaurant is open 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily, except for major holidays. On the web at www.thegunderburger.com.

Thats obviously only part of the story.
I'd bet my life you weren't eating them for their flavour, but more likely to get rid of evidence.

The best sandwich has heaps of lean roast beef on an onion roll, tomatoes, pickles, jalapeños, pepperoncinis, and caramelized onions, topped lightly with grated Swiss and popped in the oven for a few minutes. Wash it down with a bottle of wine to the dome and it'll keep you energized from sunrise to sunset.

That sounds like it was conceived by God himself and delivered by one of the Archangels. I'm Portuguese but I have no baking skills and the nearest Portuguese bakery is almost three hours away. Is there a large Portuguese community in your part of New Jersey? All of my East Coast relatives are of the Rhode Island variety.

It is heavenly. Give it a try sometime.

There are a decent number of pork chops in my area. You can find Portuguese rolls at just about any bakery or Italian deli around me.

For those from the Chicago area: Anything from Portillos. My fav is a Italian Beef/Sausage combo (plus hot peppers) with a large beer.
