In reply to the discussion: Do you prefer hamburgers and sandwiches store bought or home made? [View all]LisaM
(27,803 posts)34. I definitely prefer making my own sandwiches. With hamburgers, not always.
A lot of restaurants make amazing burgers, and they get their own buns sourced, too. They can get a better quality of burger, sometimes, too. I live in an apartment and don't really have the equipment to cook burgers as well as some restaurants do (I can cook a decent burger - I just wouldn't pit it against some really great restaurant ones I've had).
I love making sandwiches, though. A lot of restaurants don't put them together quite right, and they often have a limited choice of bread.
The one sandwich I wish I could still get is the good old lunch counter grilled cheese, though. With the demise of lunch counters, the good restaurant grilled cheese kind of went away.

So many food-borne outbreaks in recent years, that alone has me (mostly) making my own.

My momma always squished "toasted cheese sandwiches" with the spatula.

Homemade is best, even though I prefer Flame-Grilled Boca burgers to the meat variety

I love cooking but there is something special about a great sandwich made at a good deli

I'm getting sick of restaurants. I make an excellent bison/beef burger at home.
