Fried bologna on white toast
Eating bologna is not easy. Made of a ground form of the most common parts of pork (occasionally with a dose of lard) the meat feels… unsettling. There’s a very noticeable lack of texture that isn’t even rejuvenated by frying. And so to save this endeavor of unexpected sensation, we bring the gentle crispness of […]

Donald Trump sandwich
You may have seen this sandwich described on a restaurant board online– we saw it first from guitar god Marnie Stern. It’s not terribly delectable– white bread, full of bologna, Russian dressing, and a small (amount of) pickle (we weren’t buying tiny pickles for the joke). The bologna feels processed and slightly false, even though […]

Hillary Clinton sandwich
Outside local headquarters, we find a pile of ham, turkey, and cheddar on multi-grain bread. It’s pretty tasty, and maybe that’s because there’s something familiar to classic meats ham and turkey– processed, sure, but with a realistic flavor and texture. Whether you prefer talking turkey or hamming it up, you can’t miss the sharp cheddar […]

Perfect for school lunches as the contents defrost, the bread-pocket of peanut butter and grape jelly is also fine for around the house, when you’re stuck inside because of an unexpected chill and cloudy skies. Kind of Smucker’s to deliver […]

You know who always has our back when we flake on a special sandwich of the week? Circles in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Though every day is a delight of food there, and we often cry that we can’t order the whole specials board on any given day, the selection today has been a delightful decision. Of […]

BLT on white toast
BLT, white toast, yeah, sure. But what’s that hidden surprise? What’s that sweet and spicy flavor? Something in the bacon? Some magical variety of tomato? No, it’s peach habanero sauce! Surprise of surprises! How it’s absorbed by the toasted white, how it mixes with the juicy tomato. Yes, this is how a BLT should go– […]

Chicken and Broccoli on Italian
A new year begins, just as any new month, week, day, or hour begins. Don’t be jaded and hide your ambitions, but also don’t be hard on yourself when you hit February without getting those goals. For example, eating healthy is a goal here, but we still need to have a sandwich once in a […]

Hot Ham & Cheese on bagel
The full name is actually Inside Out Grilled Hot Ham and Cheese on Very Berry Bagel, but that’s a mouthful– HA! Well, it’s wintery out there (January and all) so warm comfort foods battle the treadmill and gym memberships for all of us. We’re keeping up the fight and packing the gym bag for today, […]
