1. Meatball Sub
When talking about iconic sandwiches, a meatball sub quickly comes to mind. The meatballs in this recipe are made of ground brisket to elevate it to the next level, especially with these gourmet hot dog buns by COBS Bread that will make sure each bite feels expensive. Use the grill to cook the meatballs instead of a regular pan to bring the flavor and juices out.
Prepare for an elevated meatball sub experience on National Sandwich Day.
2. Cubanos Sandwich
Try Cubanos this National Sandwich Day! While constructing this delicious sandwich takes little time at all, the traditional Cuban-Style Mojo Pork filling requires a little patience. The wait is well worth it when you taste the Cuban-Style pork nestled inside a soft baguette with ham, pickles, and swiss cheese, then pressed on a hot griddle. The result is a crispy, tender sandwich that will truly satisfy you and everyone you serve it to.

3. French Dip Sandwiches
When it comes to sandwiches, there is literally nothing more iconic than the French Dip.
You can easily replicate this dish by using your grill. Ideally served with a salad and some fries, the base is made up of a flavorful beef roast that you can prepare a day ahead. When you're ready to eat, slice the roast beef and layer it on a fresh baguette with caramelized onions and cheese. Warm these sandwiches until the cheese melts and don't forget to serve it with the iconic au jus for dipping. No one can say no to that!
