Reuben is number one GOAT sammich, although a stellar Philly or Cuban can also be a number one in my book.

On the other hand, I'd say BLT is the king when it comes to everyday sandwiches. Simple and perfectly balanced, and it's literally impossible to fuck up. Add a little turkey or chicken, grab a bag of chips, and you've got yourself a meal.

While sometimes used alegorically in material science, in a food contect a sandwich is a sandwich. Relabeling hamburgers as a type of sandwich is a marketing ploy by fast food chains to healthwash a product label sullied by health concerns and low social status by conflating it with a traditional middle class snack usualy seen as less greasy and more healthy.
