What city and or region of North America do you think makes the sandwiches? Is all opinion of course. I say North America because Canada has some nice sandwiches like Montreal Smoked meat.

Being from NYC, NJ, I do not rate it very highly because all the franchise/chain and Supermarkets use Boars Head brand. There is no variety. The good chains are all over the country if not world, so cannot be attributed to one location. When I go to restaurants here, I normally dont order a sandwich unless it is corned beef.

What they call sandwiches in Mexico, Hortas?

I have often hear Philly takes their sandwich making very seriously.

I am really partial to eastern north carolina pulled pork sandwiches with coleslaw on top. It's heaven in a bun.

I believe you mean torta, not horta, for sandwiches?

Every place is capable of baking excellent bread and putting their best local ingredients between slices of it. I think trying to pinpoint the best sandwich is too vague. Everywhere has great sandwiches. On the other hand we can debate who has the best type of sandwich (ham and cheese, pastrami on rye, meatball sub, etc) or who makes the best local variation of the sandwich (New Orleans, Philadelphia, etc).

I find some of the usual suspects (NYC, Philly) sandwiches to be kind of gross with a pound of meat crammed in between two flimsy pieces of bread. In my opinion a really good sandwich has great ingredients and a more equal proportion of bread to meat. Why go through all the effort of baking quality bread to drown it out with all that meat and liquid that gets absorbed into it?

Does anywhere else beside New York make chopped cheese sandwiches?
You can find one here easy. It’s a bodega basic for years now. But I don’t know about other cities. If you don’t know, here is what chopped cheese is:
