"For Italian Combos: Warm the hero bread, use balsamic vinegar instead of red vinegar, throw on some fresh basil leaves over the tomatoes, and sprinkle with a good grated Parmesan-Reggiano cheese and oregano. Oh yeah, some banana peppers or sweet red peppers are really great on top also. If I'm making it at home I also like to put on real mozzarella instead of Provolone sometimes."

"Get 3 slices of white bread out. Put one in the toaster and toast it. Now put jelly/jam/preserves on one side of each of the remaining slices. I prefer strawberry jam, but you do you. Now rinse off the knife. (People who do the pb first are just giving themselves a more complicated cleanup; jam rinses right off). Put a liberal amount of peanut butter on one side of the toast. (~2:1 pb to j ratio) Put this on top of one of the jam slices. Put another liberal amount of peanut butter on the other side of the toast. Put the remaining jam slice on top.
Boom. Double-decker PB&J with a crunch in the middle and slightly melty peanut butter. Another trick is that you can use natural peanut butter since there's plenty of sugar in the jam already. Drink milk with it."

"If you toast your sandwich, try toasting it with onions, green peppers, and oil on it before adding other veggies. It sautees these veggies, adding extra flavor."

"Butter on one slice, mayonnaise on the other, freshly ground salt and pepper in the middle. Also, sliced bread is the worst thing since sliced bread - cut that loaf yourself."

"Try a line of Chipotle southwest sauce with your next order, even if you get other sauces. It's not spicy like sriracha or buffalo, but adds a kick that pairs well with the BMT or steak and cheese."
