Hmmm.. There's an element of truth there, but please someone point out where I can get a reuben in Wyoming, to match the ones from Katz's Deli in Manhattan. Or a lobster roll in Kansas. For that matter, where (o where) is the good mexican restaurant in the Adirondacks!!!??? Regional still counts for something.

"spicy philly cheese steaks from jersey mikes" Is not equal to "Philly cheese steak." Specifics matter in the sandwich game son. Is a ham sandwich with lays classic chips stacked on top, just a ham sandwich? The answer is no. A resounding no. A whole different animal.
yes it does. i will not deny.
certain regions have high concentrations of a good food of a certain type which leads to a certain reputation for a region. but it absolutely does not mean that a great or even better version cant be found somewhere else.
e.g. people from texas thinking there is no other place with palatable mexican food in the U.S. - just categorically false.

You can get decent cheese steaks all over, but never from a chain. That's a steak sandwich like we would get on Wednesday's for school lunch in grade school.
Best sandwich in Jersey/Philly area is roast pork.

I almost never eat food from a restaurant of any kind so when I do a sandwich isn't going to be my first or even second choice. So, I haven't eaten many of the sandwiches on the list. I do make grilled cheese, BLT and pulled pork sandwiches and they are all good. Most of my sandwiches are made of whatever meat is left over from last night's dinner with some cheese and maybe a pickle and some onion. When I was in German there was this little place that made schnitzel sandwiches that were to die for. It was their homemade bread more than the sandwich that made it so good. One slice of bread was a big as a dinner plate and the schnitzel would extend a couple of inches past the edges of the bread.
Then of course there is my good old standby, PeanutButter, dill pickle and mayo on white bread.

Does fleischkuechle count as a sandwich?
it's like saying because you put jalapenos on a burger means it's not a burger anymore and we need a new category.
i just personally like my philly cheese steaks with added spice. but it's still just a philly cheese steak.

A sandwich is something I can assemble in less than a minute, even if I rinse the mayo utensil and shirttail dry for surreptitious drawer return.
...and yes I know what bologna is made of.
The poll got a vote because pulled hog and Texas Hill Country sweet & sour pig sauce is tasty...

Reuben always been a great sandwich but we have a little deli in town that makes the best Cold-cut I've had anywhere across the country.
Very picky about my burgers. Bacon, sharp or provolone, grilled onions and grilled mushrooms with Blue Cheese dressing

Being that my favorite of the options you listed it pulled pork, I put that. I say, however, the greatest sandwich on earth is a chicken cordon bleu.
Chicken breast, sliced black forest ham, and swiss cheese on a pretzel bun mmm

still sounds like someone looked at a BLT and said "we need to do something to this to make it an actual sandwich"
hence, turkey melt with bacon lettuce and tomato

To get off my high horse for a moment, there's a regional (I think) sandwich that folks eat up here at fairs, etc. It's called a bacon burger and it is simply a grilled slice of canadian bacon on a hamburger bun, with mayo. That's it. They're surprisingly seductive..
