Porchetta with charred broccoli rabe and burnt peppers.
Used to get it on the hill in Providemnce, RI as a culinary student. Had a great one in St. Louis. Now, just make 'em for family meal

I love roasted Chicken salad on crusty toasted ciabbata. Of course, I haven't found a great one yet in Chicago! But when we were younger, Glencoe Golf Course did a great Chicken Salad sandwich on whole wheat that we would eat on the "turn"

We serve tuna salad and egg salad with watercress on multigrain bread at both restaurants. They have the crust cut off and are very popular. I think because they are so familiar and comforting....don't forget delicous.

My favorite cold sandwich is the tuna sub from potbelly. it has to have spicy peppers on it though.

Hands down it's a lobster roll. Couldn't get enough of these when I lived in Maine - it was the quintessential summer sandwich. We'll have it on the summer menu - claw, knuckle and tail meat tossed with onions, celery and mayo - that's it and that's all it should be. Let the sweet taste of the lobster shine through. Load it onto a great hot dog bun - we're doing grilled parker house hot dog buns - and you're in Heaven

The New England Lobster roll-wich on naan with Shaved pickles on fresh naan at gaztro-wagon!

the best cold sandwich hands down are the subs from bari foods. second, ba le's vietnamese pork sandwiches.

My mom makes a great shrimp salad, which is great on a po-boy like set-up. It screams summer time because it's cool and refreshing. I also love the pastrami and corned beef sandwiches at the famous delis in NYC. As for Chicago, I used to live near a place called Ashkenaz in the Gold Coast that had a pretty good chicken salad sandwich

Old school tuna salad in the summer makes for great comfort food memories. Canned Solid White Albacore in water, Hellmans Mayo, coarsley chopped white onion, salt, pepper. In the heat of a summer day it must be on a soft untoasted white bread (a decent Italian loaf) with thick sliced Jersey tomatoes and crisp refrigerated Iceberg lettuce.

I enjoy frequently at pages in Hinsdale with their homegrown tomatoes
