How many have you tried @bbqboy ?
I tried 52 of the first 100 listed.
Some interesting things come up after 100 on the list view, including some things one HO makes after she gets home from the bar.

How is Avocado Toast a “sandwich”? Open faced sandwich, I guess. But no, I’d not call Avocado Toast an actual sandwich. I’d say the same thing about Toast Skagen and a couple of other open-faced “sandwiches”.
Agree on the repetitiveness; I think I saw three Bánh mìs, just with different fillings.

I see avocado toast as an open-faced sandwich, in the same family as smorrebrod, bruschetta, and crostini.
There is repetitiveness for sure, but that’s how FoodAtlas rolls.
Right. I don’t consider them sandwiches though. More like things you snack on while waiting for the real meal?

I see Smorrebrod and avocado toast (especially avocado toast that’s topped with a poached egg- a popular brunch main around Toronto ) as a meal, bruschetta/crostini as a first course, but I get what you’re saying.

One that i think definitely deserves to be in the top 100 (since variants of sandwiches are listed separately) is a DC ( NoVA really) Steak & Cheese. It is definitely a different sandwich from the Philly Cheesesteak because the S&C has lettuce and tomato and usually has mayo.
One of the first threads i read and participated in on ChowHound had several “food historians” discuss the differences between the two sandwiches and where the best examples of each were found in the past and to some extent, in the present.
I can not believe the pulled pork sandwich was not in the top 50. It may be regional but many of the others are as well.

Wait, wait, wait - there are 100 sandwiches on this list and no Chow Mein sandwich? This was rigged.

Keep scrolling, the list goes way past 100. I didn’t see chow mein sandwiches but I didn’t scroll to the end
I am glad I’m a lady. I hate it when mustard shows up on a ham sandwich.

Funny, I was going to reply that a lady does not have a ham sandwich without mustard.

As I get older, the only thing I like mustard on is hot dogs, and maybe a corned beef or Montreal smoked meat sandwich.
I won’t touch a turkey sandwich that has mustard on it.

Yes, I understand. I even said that. But I don’t think of crostini or bruschetta as “sandwiches” (nor Avocado toasts).
A tuna melt is an open-faced sandwich. A Hot Brown? Yup, that’s a sandwich. TWO pieces of bread are involved. But crostini and bruschetta are little toasts with stuff on top. They’re appetizers. NOT sandwiches.

Well I’m not a barbarian! But ham, salami, hot dogs require a nice mustard.

A shout-out to the late, greatly- missed Roy’s Place in Gaithersburg, MD, that had over 200 different sandwiches on its menu.
My particular favorite was the Pocahontas…

The Schmitter on a long roll is a cheesesteak with fried onions, tomato slices, grilled salami, and thin thousand island sauce on a hoagie roll. The original is on a round Kaiser roll.

Wait – tuna melts are open-faced?? I think I’ve only ever had one once a million years ago, but I coulda sworn it was between two slices. Yummy, two!
I grew up with open-faced sammiches. It’s how we roll in ze fatherland, but I realize when stateside one slice of bread with >insert topping(s) of choice< doesn’t qualify as a “proper” sandwich 
Fuck mustard on burgers. Ham or hot dogs I could see. Pork ≠ beef.
