Welcome to Day #16 of the AoM sandwich project. Last month we asked readers for their best sandwich recommendations. Out of 483 submissions, we picked 20 to highlight here on the site each weekday during the month of April. At the end, we’ll publish all the entries into an epic man-sandwich cookbook. Enjoy.

Taster’s Notes
Big Bad Moose’s great-grandpa sure did create a winner. This was a solid sandwich. One thing I’ve learned from this month of sandwich tasting is that frying deli meats kicks up the tastiness level another notch. The heat from the fried salami gave the provolone cheese just the right amount of melt. Kate tried this sandwich grilled with pumpernickel instead of rye and mustard without mayo and reported that it was also delicious.
