  • Grilled Chicken and Cheese on sourdough

    Chicken, sure. Cheese, okay. What really makes this is the chipotle mayonnaise. It gives the often flat chicken and generally muted provolone a real kick in the pants. The toasted sourdough bread and lettuce give you a sensory kick, too– crumbs and crunches. It’s a refreshing experience to embark on. This sandwich is like a day […]

  • Salmon on Italian

    Though seafood doesn’t lend itself well to time lapse, it may be a great riverside summer picnic food if you have the right resources.

  • Turkey Bacon Cheeseburger on bread thin

    Oh yes, turkey God! Sure, there’s not much of a bun, but look at that delicious burger (packed with garlic, basil, and more spices). Tomato settles into the melting provolone cheese, lettuce next, then turkey bacon on top. That looks like the healthiest attempt at something bad. How many bites will it take you to […]

  • Hot Italian Ham on sourdough bread

    Spring is… kind of here. Look at the calendar, people.

  • Swiss-stuffed Cheeseburger on bread thins

    Cheese inside the burger? And on top? And it melted off to cover the sides, too? Say “cheese,” burger– this is your moment.

  • Ham & Cheese party sandwiches

  • Turkey with Bacon on wheat bread thins

    “Where’s the bacon?” you ask. It’s inside the turkey. Small bits of bacon embedded in the turkey breast make for an unexpected mine field of taste. The cheddar cheese can’t subdue it. The black pepper mayonnaise only heightens it. As you settle in for a self-portrait, you find yourself feeling closer to the other subject […]
