Layered with melted Swiss, slow-cooked pulled pork, hickory smoked ham, pickles, and mustard, Potbelly's version is a riff on a tried-and-true Cubano recipe. The satisfying effort hits all the expected flavor notes of creamy, savory, salty tanginess that have gradually come to define a Cubano. Though Potbelly's recipe lacks the traditional yellow mustard that is typically seen in Cubano sandwiches, when all of the delicious ingredients are piled into toasted bread, this is the kind of sandwich that needs no notes.

Film buff foodies will never forget the "Spanglish" sandwich. When Adam Sandler needed an "ultimate sandwich" for "Spanglish" (2004), the "World's Greatest Sandwich" made its Hollywood debut. It's technically just a BLT with egg and cheese, but Chef Thomas Keller created this iconic bite for the movie, and the 3-in-1 sandwich has taken on a life of its own since hitting the big screen. In the film, Adam Sandler plays a lauded professional chef - and in one scene, his character creates "The World's Greatest Sandwich." The film team approached Keller and asked the real-life chef to create his idea of the ultimate sandwich for the movie, and the 3-in-1 was born. Keller also served as a food consultant for another gastronomic film, Pixar's "Ratatouille" (2007).

To elevate the classic egg salad sandwich, use artisanal croissants, crunchy lettuce, and peppery radishes, transforming it into a visually appealing dish.
