Bruschetta on garlic Italian
You can certainly eat a sandwich on a date. We have before and we have again. Chopped tomato and basil mix with a heavy garlic flavor in this homemade bruschetta mix, which spreads nicely on the grilled garlic bread. Chopped bits may always wander, so we chose sliced provolone here to hold things together– mozzarella […]

Italian Sub (Hoagie) No. 3
We went to Jersey Mike’s Subs for today’s portrait, held tight like a prized possession by guest portraiteer James O’Meara. Upon entering, the order was simple: “The Original Italian with everything but olives.” Jersey Mike’s doesn’t have olives! So they piled on all the fixins bringing the total ingredients to provolone, ham, prosciuttini, cappacuolo, salami, […]

Meatloaf BLT
Who needs bread when you have a loaf of meat? This is one way to take the classically-thought-of light and tame BLT to another level. Take those healthy ingredients of (turkey)bacon, lettuce, and tomato and sandwich them between two slabs of meat. It may not be flaky and crispy like toast, but damn it’s a […]

Salmon BLT on wheat
“What is up with that bread?” That’s the first question everyone asks when they see this portrait. It’s Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Wheat bread. “Oh, well. Okay.” With that out of the way, bask in the sauteed salmon and fresh veggies. It’s a great foundation, but it’s taken to dizzying heights with crisp bacon. Between […]

Crab Cake on English muffin
Hershey, PA, is known for fountains of flowing chocolate, but while you’re in town and growing tired of tasting sweetness, you can take a short trip to Tröegs Brewing Company. There, you will find this wonderful pile of goodness: a crab cake on a made-from-scratch English muffin. Note the house bacon laying under the crab […]

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. You won’t find any fresh salmon in the Susquehanna River, but you will be able to see peaceful waves flow by, split by boaters or anchored debris. The flavors come together […]

Whacked Chicken Cutlet Hoagie
This hoagie is primo, despite the quick cell-phone portrait we’ve cobbled together here. Portraits on the go are always tricky, but this Primo Hoagie will make you sit down and stay for a while. Delightful chicken cutlets are the main protein component of this concoction. But check out the additions– bruschetta and pesto– mixed with […]

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 […]
