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, consider expanding the flavor scope of the sandwich by adding […]

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 photo captures the essence of who we think Phil may […]

Mike Schmidt Schtacker
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.

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 hop in the car? Which way are you heading?

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.

Stuffed Pork Chop on hamburger roll
The texture of the “other white meat” is interrupted by the gooey goodness of Swiss cheese. It’s a surprising sensation, topped off with a slice of tomato and a few leaves of spinach, caught between two hamburger buns. It’s worth a try, unless you’re pledging to lose weight for the new year. But keep in […]

Grilled Cheese and Tomato on wheat
Some things are just meant for each other– spaghetti and meatballs, liver and onions, and many would say grilled cheese and tomato. Not just any vegetable would work in this sandwich– lettuce, carrots, and cucumbers all fall short. But the tomato works perfectly. As the cheese melts the two ingredients meld together, with the delicate flavors of […]

Tomato and Cheese on everything bagel
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 to bring even more to the bagelwich. Wrap your hands […]

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. Just take a moment to observe it in all its […]

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 to gobble down one of those ground beef patties with […]
