Classic sandwiches never go out of style — and these are the ones I keep coming back to.
In this video, I rank my Top 5 Classic Sandwiches, from comforting favorites to the ultimate grilled cheese.
From a pressed Cuban sandwich, to a creamy egg salad on brioche, a deeply savory grilled Reuben on rye, a perfectly balanced BLT, and a golden, melty four-cheese grilled cheese inspired by Chef — these are timeless sandwiches worth making at home.
Each sandwich is ranked based on flavor, texture, simplicity, and nostalgia, using straightforward techniques and classic ingredients. No trends, no shortcuts — just honest food done right.
Whether you’re cooking for yourself, family, or friends, these sandwiches represent the kind of meals that bring people together around the table.
