Po’ Boy on baguette
The baguette is such a tough bread– a hard outer shell, but soft on the inside. Break through the exterior and spread some homemade remoulade sauce around for spicing things up. A bit of lettuce adds a nutritional kick before you stuff in as much shrimp as you can fit. Each bite will delight you, […]

Grilled Ham and Cheese on wheat
Each hot sandwich is a slice of life. The problem is that they only stay warm for so long. Like our treasured moments, they don’t last forever and sometimes go away too quickly. The key is to enjoy them. Don’t rush through them and don’t sit around waiting. The best case would be not to […]

Frosting on Girl Scout Cookie Lemonades
Spring is coming soon. Love and lemonade will soon be in the air. Fresh shortbread cookies from America’s favorite crafty girls with patched sashes are a wonderful way to enjoy the change in temperature.

Happy St. Patrick’s to you. You may have to view this portrait at actual size to get a full appreciation for this sandwich-ised take on an Irish classic.

Elk Burger sliders on wheat
While you may have to make your own buns for such a tiny burger, it’s all worth the trouble. An elk burger’s consistency is a bit more crumbly than beef, not as chewy as turkey– it has a style all its own. Add spices– peppers, chili powder, onions– and you have a tasty treat waiting […]

Chicken Breast on whole wheat bun
Too plain? Don’t hate. Sometimes you have to go big– pile on the veggies, spices, and condiments– but sometimes you’re in a hurry. What are you going to do? Bake up a frozen piece of chicken and slap some cheese on top. There’s no shame in simplicity. Sometimes things can get so complicated that having […]

Chicken tacos – April Fools’ Day
Pocketed food. Maybe that’s what we’re looking for here. A pocket to hold our goods together, making it easier to shove food into our mouths. If that defines a sandwich for you, then don’t forget the taco. Chicken on the bottom, topped with salsa, sprinkled with cilantro flakes (when the leaves can’t be found) and […]

Video Portrait: Turkey and Cheese
Video Portrait: Turkey & Cheese on Italian from SandwichPortraits on Vimeo. A first try at a video portrait, following some inspiration by Richard Phillips’ treatment of Lindsay Lohan. Much like Lohan, we had to start with a classic sandwich next door that has a bit of a bad side to it.

Peanut Butter and Bacon on white
You always sat in the back of class. You’re a dreamer, looking out the window and wishing you were somewhere else. In a dream world you can make anything you want. Ride a rocket-powered horse, live in a house made out of candy, make a peanut butter and bacon sandwich. Oh, but wait– that last […]
