  • Filet Mignon on steak roll

    Oh you prefer filet mignon at a fancy restaurant? Too bad. Marry your white collar with your blue (mixed metaphor) and chop that beef so it’s ripe for the grilling. Cut the cheese into the steak as you finish– don’t just set it on top. Save that spot for the sauteed bell and pepperoncini peppers […]

  • Tuna on white

    For our younger demographic, still stuck in the trenches of primary education, there is a light at the end of the calendar, and it’s almost here! In the meantime, make the best of your indoor days with some refreshing lettuce and tomato, provolone cheese, topped with tuna salad and onion. It’s got all the things […]

  • Leftover Meatloaf on brioche

    Leftovers don’t have to always be bland. Take this example of leftover meatloaf, breaded (of all things!) and doused in an onion-heavy beef gravy, piled on strips of mild cheddar cheese. And if you want more fat, we got it– butter-toasted brioche is the housing for this flavor blast. Because leftovers, like life, is really […]

  • Portabella on bread thins

    You say you like everything? Here’s the everything bread thin from Arnold’s. Mix it up with some veggies to really show you how fun a meat-free sandwich can be. Earthy flavor from a portabella mushroom cap mixes with the crispness of lettuce and the juiciness of tomatoes and roasted red peppers. It all seems pretty […]

  • Fried Stuffing and Cranberry on Rye

    It’s our annual tradition to post Thanksgiving leftovers the week after the tasty turkey day, and here we have one without turkey! November guest photographer James O’Meara gives us fried stuffing– your favorite Thanksgiving mash-up of flavor, crisped to a new texture of perfection– topped with sweet canned cranberry sauce– the best can-shaped “fruit” out […]

  • Chicken Cheesesteak on onion roll

    The onion roll is back for another week, this time filled with a delectable pile of meat, cheese, and fixins. Onions, garlic, mushrooms, and hot cherry peppers sauteed just long enough to bond together– to take a stand and combine forces to overthrow the lightly seasoned chicken with little effort. For people like us, we’d […]

  • Italian-style Steak on onion roll

    Today’s other post is certainly a flavor of some kind, but it can’t touch the ingredients coming together here. Carefully thin-sliced rib-eye steak is coated in olive oil and sauteed in butter to make a juicy, flavorful protein base. The rest–sauteed onions, garlic, hot cherry peppers, and portabella mushrooms– are slid onto the now smooth […]

  • Sardine on white

    We only heard from one fan (and contributor) about missing last week’s portrait. We apologize, of course, and are here for two portraits this week. The first is just straight up gross. Though you may enjoy the wet softness of sardines, most people don’t. Even the spicy brown mustard is probably not enough to save […]

  • Homemade Guacamole Grilled Cheese on whole grain white

    Layers of crispy salt-sprinkled bread meet the creamy, smooth world of Havarti cheese and guacamole.The Havarti knows where it stands in this sandwich– its mild flavor doesn’t attempt to compete with the powerhouse guacamole. This rich texture combination brings out a spicy and salty collection of flavors that will transport you away from the cooling […]

  • Steak tartare on French bun

    Surely we can’t do a brains sandwich, but the closest we could get is this nearly undercooked collection of stuff. You might be able to fool a rabid zombie with the very lean ground sirloin, flavored with onion, salt, pepper, and vinegar. The egg yolk helps hold the meat together, while the crispy French roll […]
