7. Jimmy’s Favorite, Jimmy & Drew’s (Boulder, CO)
“Jimmy’s Favorite includes the standard Reuben ingredients—corned beef, Thousand Island dressing, sauerkraut, and swiss cheese—stuffed between two potato latkes. It’s similar to the French fry-laden sandwiches in Pittsburgh, but without that boring, non-fried bread getting in the way. To see the creators make the sandwiches, check out this video.

Times are tough and people need their meals to last for the long haul. Unless you’re Michael Phelps, any of these sandwiches should keep you full the majority of the day. And given the popularity of blogs glorifying obscenely fattening foods and state fairs finding increasingly horrifying things to batter and fry every summer, we can look forward to more sandwiches like these with even more filling (read: chest pain-inducing) ingredients. Who knows what we’ll find between our bread slices—or if you’re in Pittsburgh, deep fried potato cakes—in the future? As long as the price is right, sign us up.”
4. Reggie Deluxe, Pine State Biscuits (Portland, OR)
Long established as the Sunday morning hangover cure for many Portlanders, this breakfast monstrosity consists of bacon, sausage gravy, fried chicken, a fried egg, and cheese wedged between two buttermilk biscuits. Take one and call your doctor for a cholesterol checkup the next morning. Photo source: Pine State Biscuits.
3. Pastrami Sandwich, Carnegie Deli (New York City, NY)
Those craving a sandwich with enough meat to feed an army should head to Carnegie Deli, where the pastrami’s stacked so high it usually requires a knife and fork for consumption. Some might argue that goes against sandwich protocol, but beggars can’t be choosey; sometimes generous portions have to top tradition. Photo source: jasonlam (cc)
