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?

Southern-ish chicken and rice naanini
I combined bread from Central Asia and Persia with a Peruvian-style green sauce and a chicken and rice dish that almost everyone on Earth has a version of to create this great, comforting, and cheesy sandwich adventure.

Today we panini with zero panini-ing
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.

Melt away with these crabbed-up sandwiches
Are you down with cheese and seafood or are you a scaredy cat? This week I tackle another dish my mom made when I was a kid and elevate it a touch while turning it into a sandwich inside of homemade sourdough English muffins.

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.
