HAVING A HINGE ON THE BREAD! lol That is why a lot of us do that, helps keeps things together. IF you want to make something, or go somewhere that has bread that is clean cut all the way through then make sure its wrapped up in paper to keep it together.

hard agree. a wrapped sandwich just hits different

Everything here is 10/10 and I'd love to make a quick suggestion that I love, especially if this is for a lunch: wrap the sandwich in wax paper. Why? 1. is keeps your lovely, super loaded sandwich together and 2. it makes it feel even more "special". I don't know how else to explain and is 100% not needed... but something about unwrapping a present to yourself just tastes better XD

I started chopping my tomatoes into small pieces for my burgers and sandwiches, brings the same structural improvement on the sandwich that the chopped lettuce does

If I'm making a perfect sandwich it'll need Duke's mayo and a hint of dijon mixed on both sides, hot chile relish, a layer of richer salami or ham with the turkey, and a seasoned vinegarette to toss the veg in before assembling.

Mayo on top AND bottom, pepper on the Turkey layer, EVOO ALWAYS!

Chef Frank is one of the best for this epicurious ever 😊

Frank is great! Please have him do more recipes! He explains every choice, step, and technique. Plus he is entertaining.

You can handle the ingredients you dont like but you cant handle stale bread, I agree that bread is the key piece

those pickles aren't small, they are actually a perfectly adequate size. and they probably have a nice personality

I love chef Frank's enthusiasm for food! He has really thought this through and I appreciate that!

it's all about ratios and chef frank nailed it.

Frank had me on both cutting the bread all the way and with the Provolone... but it is so great him giving it this simple but also letting others go with what they like.

He’s my favorite!!! ❤❤❤

I loved every step…especially that 1st bite! Thanks

Try this… mustard on bottom. Cheese, lettuce slices or torn, meat, tomato. Mayo top side sprinkled w/pepper. And I agree… Italian bread 🥖 Looking 👀 forward to lunch now!

I really enjoy these videos and that you share your knowledge and skills. I also like to watch Refika's Kitchen. She recently did a similar video and I am seeing quite a lot of overlap. A difference I see is that she puts pickles and potato chips inside the sandwich. She also has some interesting wrapping techniques.

Looks great, Id add mayo on the bottom layer too, think it can handle it :) I also love mustard so maybe both.

That’s a beautiful sammy! I put the maters on the meat, then the shred. The mayo on top holds the lettuce and the tomatoes nestle into the meat so there’s little spillage or sliding. And I do a very light spread of Dijon on the bottom side then cheese then sliced pickles. I want that pickle in every bite 😄

My perfect sandwich (not including gourmet fancy stuff, like no steak sandwich thats different) -Start with the oblong Sourdough slices -Spread mayo and sriracha hot sauce -Lay down turkey slices, and on top of that lay down pepper jack cheese triangle slices. Add bacon before the cheese if you have some -Put in toaster oven/microwave to melt tthe cheese and crisp up bread a bit -Now add shredded iceberg lettuce on other slice -add grilled caramalized onions, I personally skip tomatoes (too wet, and aren't insanely tasty to me) -Add slices avocado -Add lays original potato chips -Pair with a nice coke on ice -And a nice nap on the couch with that one blanket/wool we all love

pickled red onions on your sandwich. Yes, every sandwich. Maybe not Montreal smoked meat sandwich, but even then, I might try it :)

Great tips. It just needs to be wrapped before eating, to bring it all together. It makes a huge difference.

I do pretty similar except I'll put mayo on the bottom bread and add some spicy brown mustard.

I love a whole grain mustard on mine.

Awesome!! Thanks Frank!!!

Mix the veggie in the oil and vinegar prior to placing it on the sandwich...makes all the difference

Magnificent presentation! Yes, a turkey sandwich is that important!

Dang, Frank! It's almost 1 AM and now I want to go make a sandwich!

I like to soak my red onion slices in ice water for about 10 - 15 min before adding them to my sandwich. It eliminates some of the bite/aftertaste and is still tasty

After the meats and cheeses, assemble and put upside down on a hot cast iron fry on pan, and cover with a roasting pan. A few minutes flip the sandwich and cover again until both sides are toasted and cheese is melted. Assemble the rest quickly and serve before the cheese cools.

I worked with a Michelin star chef back in the day, and he was adamant that when building a sandwich or burger your primary ingredient should be at the top. The reasoning is that you're pallet will taste what is closest to you're upper pallet first and the rest of the ingredients will fill in the taste as you chew. Not trying to be controversial, but ever since I learned that, I think you can taste the difference. For instance, here, you're going to be having a tomato sandwich with some turkey as apposed to a turkey sandwich. All I say, is try the to two back to back and see if there isn't a difference. Thanks!

Different videos online say, the flavors on the bottom will be tasted more. Interesting.

My ultimate sandwich has: Intensively smoky ham, locally made. Some stronger cheese that has texture to it like Grünberger(is the dots on the U correct?), honey mustard mayo, buttered bread topped with some pea shoots for both that mid-level texture crunch also refreshing earthly taste to it.

@DanielSnyder-bz8kp

The most smokey ham i've ever had is called Black Forest Ham. It's made in the black forest region of Germany. But you have to buy it at an import store. The stuff here in the USA is just virginia ham. Too bad we don't respect european labeling laws. Check out a video on youtube about how they make it. It's very delicious.

So true!

Looks delicious! For me, I would be adding a layer of hot pickled peppers.

Oil the bread, vinegar the veggies, pepper/spice the meat. And then obviously the thinner everything is sliced the more appealing.

Shoulda put a layer of mayo on the bottom, before the cheese.

"I like to put the mayo directly onto the bread." As opposed to putting it where?

great!

‏‪0:29‬‏ frank is hallmark of teching on youtbe . He the best

I prefer using the v-cut method of cutting the bread. You pull off the top and then pull out any bread at the bottom so you have maximum room for what goes into the sandwich. Once you have everything in your sandwich, put the top back on and push it down. Now nothing will fall out. Subway use to cut their bread this way, and it's how I prefer my subs to be made.

I like to salt my tomatoes a little bit in advance, let them sit a few minutes with the salt.

Subs or hoagies are perfect for game day with chips and soda.

Butter!!!

In my world..... ALWAYS butter BOTH pieces of bread...then add condiments THEN the other ingredients. Dry bread =😝

Some Dijon on the bottom at least

“Perfect” is a very subjective adjective.

Add a great mustard and it’s perfect!

Perfect!

This guy is the definition of "my essay needs more words" Nice sandwich tho I'll try

All sandwiches have vegetables but for me, I don't like vegetables on my sandwich. Frank is best level 3 chef there is. 😊

Don't put too many onions on your sandwich so everyone doesn't know you've been eating onions. James Beard- "hold my wine".

You forgot the most important step! Wrapping the sandwich tightly

Making a sandwich takes me an hour or so 😂 I definitely take it seriously
