Breaded Parm Chicken Giard

It’s time to introduce a new Italian-ish American chicken sandwich and share it with the world. This is my Bee-Pee-Cee-Gee aka a crispy chicken sandwich that’s packed with cheesy, buttery, vinegary, and slightly spicy flavors pushing through.

Burger to the power of Jeff

These two burgers are dedicated to all the people out there named Jeff. This is my deep dive into how I create the Jeff Squared burger and Jeff Cubed burger, and also the three other sandwiches I made along the way.

Nashville hot loose chicken sandwich

This week I accidentally made a very spicy sandwich that doesn’t look like it would be very spicy. It looks kinda boring. Things didn’t exactly go to plan, but I persisted and ate everything on my plate and then wrote about the adventure.

Caribbean drama in Seattle

There’s a citrusy and garlicky mess of a pork-filled sandwich that is so well known and appreciated in Seattle that it’s in the running for the official sandwich of the city. How did it get its start, and is it worthy of the title?

Today we panini with zero panini-ing

panini

This panini is not panini-ed. Or at least it’s not panini-ed like Americans consider paninis. It’s spicy, very flavorful, and deftly tips its hat to the city where I live.

Is this cheesy Steak sandwich the Bomb?

New England sandwich lovers get really passionate about this steak sandwich. But is shaved steak or cubed steak the right choice? I give them both a try and see if I can suss out if one option is better for a Steak Bomb.

beef copycat

It’s beefy. It’s bacony. And it’s cheesy just like you.

In the second of my two part Schlotzsky’s series I made a cheesy and slightly spicy variant on their sourdough rolls that’s stuffed with a bunch of meat and melty, smoky cheese. This is my beef bacon smokecheesy.
