Many of you have already described this sandwich which I know as the "Carnegie", that is Corned Beef, Swiss, Russian dressing otherwise known as "Thousand Island" and Slaw all on toasted wheat.
Then there's the Muffaletta, from Central Grocery on Decatur street in New Orleans, by far the very best in the city.
Finally, there's a sandwich called the "Ferdie". That is roast beef, swiss, shredded cabbage and mayo on french bread with a healthy dose of "debris", from Mother's on Poydras street. The "debris" is roast beef which has been cooked down in gravy for 8 hours, and it just fall apart and shreds, just incredible.
Any sandwich must include a Barq's root beer for drink and usually one is not enough.

I have had the pleasure of having a Muffaletta when I was there several years back. Cant even remember what was in it...

I'm not Italian Justin, but I beleive the Muff comes with Mortadella, Capicola, Italian Salami and Provolone cheese, but what really makes the sandwich is the olive salad. It contains olives(of course), chopped celery, chopped roasted red peppers and olive oil with a hint of cider vinegar. Then of course there's the Italian round bread. I think I like Italian bread better than French bread, topped with those toasted sesame seeds. They're so big that 2 people could split one, or maybe I just can't eat like I used to, LOL.

My mom is NYC Itailian (how she wound up in this $hlt hole, I dont know) so I grew up on the most authentic sangwich one can get this far south: Pastrami, genoa salami, pepperoni, swiss, provolone, lettuce, and some onions. Rye or croissant. Its not Texas chopped BBQ on a hamburger bun.
