Tomato on white

For the casual eater, tomato sandwiches must be constructed in a certain way. Toast the bread. You’ll like how the crunchy dryness combines with the juicy tomato. And if tomato isn’t exciting for you, though tomatoes can be quite an amazing component to many dishes,

Ham and Swiss with garden extras

Our first guest-submitted portrait is by Phil Bertrand. He includes this delectable image of fresh excess, with black forest ham, fire roasted peppers, Swiss cheese, brown mustard, and fresh greens from the garden (buttercrunch and romaine lettuces). A fine balance of meat and veggie, this

Posted one day early so you can vote for us in the Stroehmann Sandwich Slamm contest! Mike Schmidt was a baseball player who seemed larger than life, and here we have a sandwich that is just as large. With the unifying strength of six slices

Bacon, Lettuce, and Tomato on white

Who’s that on the side of the road? Looking for a ride, friend? You look nice enough. A classic, even. White bread, toasted brown and covered with mayonnaise, topped with a crisp bacon foundation, a leafy lettuce cover, and juicy tomato topping. Why don’t you

Take a glimpse over the edge and you’ll see it all– everything. Take a bite out of the Everything bagel, and you’ll feel it all, too. The spice of whole grain mustard, the crisp juiciness of tomato, and the soft comfort of cheese all mix 

Prosciutto on Italian

Prosciutto on Italian

Summer heat sizzles, toasting Italian bread and melting sliced mozzarella. With a base of prosciutto and complementary flavors from basil leaves and tomato, be careful this salty sandwich doesn’t make you more dehydrated. When a sandwich packs this much flavor, a setting isn’t always necessary. 

Cheeseburger – Happy Birthday America

Cheeseburger – Happy Birthday America

You might be a vegetarian, stopping by to browse some Nutella or peanut butter sandwiches, but the cheeseburger stands as strong as America herself. It’s rarely healthy, a source of obesity, and the result of questionable farming practices. Welcome to America, where it’s your right
