Of Mad Dogs from Circles
You know who always has our back when we flake on a special sandwich of the week? Circles in Wilkes-Barre, PA. Though every day is a delight of food there, and we often cry that we can’t order the whole specials board on any given day, the selection today has been a delightful decision. Of […]

Uncrustables® Sandwich
In our never-ending quest to determine what makes a sandwich, we examine the Smucker’s Uncrustable. Perfect for school lunches as the contents defrost, the bread-pocket of peanut butter and grape jelly is also fine for around the house, when you’re stuck inside because of an unexpected chill and cloudy skies. Kind of Smucker’s to deliver […]

Roasted Turkey, Apple & Cheddar Sandwich
They tell you in commercials that a sandwich is more than just a sandwich, and that really hits home with us. When catching up with friends, we sat at a local Panera Bread and explored the divine splendor of the Roasted Turkey, Apple & Cheddar Sandwich. It sounds good already, doesn’t it? The name’s too […]

Vienna Fingers Cookies
Listen, Halloween sandwiches are tough to come by, so give us a pass on this “finger” sandwich. Of course, if you are looking for an elaborate Halloween baked good assemblage, Vienna Fingers make great tombstones in brownies! They’re plain sandwiches made of vanilla cookies and cream filling, really capturing how dull vanilla can be (and […]

Hillary Clinton sandwich
Outside local headquarters, we find a pile of ham, turkey, and cheddar on multi-grain bread. It’s pretty tasty, and maybe that’s because there’s something familiar to classic meats ham and turkey– processed, sure, but with a realistic flavor and texture. Whether you prefer talking turkey or hamming it up, you can’t miss the sharp cheddar […]

Donald Trump sandwich
You may have seen this sandwich described on a restaurant board online– we saw it first from guitar god Marnie Stern. It’s not terribly delectable– white bread, full of bologna, Russian dressing, and a small (amount of) pickle (we weren’t buying tiny pickles for the joke). The bologna feels processed and slightly false, even though […]

Fried bologna on white toast
Eating bologna is not easy. Made of a ground form of the most common parts of pork (occasionally with a dose of lard) the meat feels… unsettling. There’s a very noticeable lack of texture that isn’t even rejuvenated by frying. And so to save this endeavor of unexpected sensation, we bring the gentle crispness of […]

Dave’s Double from Wendy’s
We take another trip to squashed sandwich fast food town this week. This time it’s to Wendy’s, for a straight-up, plain ol’ double cheeseburger. Here’s the beef, and some cheese. Oh, and there’s that weirdly placed piece of lettuce sort of hanging out of the side. That’s how our flesh will feel if we keep […]

King’s Hawaiian® Brown Sugar Bacon Turkey
We’re not usually in the truth business here, but when we set out to capture the King’s Hawaiian® Brown Sugar Bacon Turkey sandwich from Arby’s, we saw an incongruent reality behind the sultry voice of Ving Rhames and stark contrast imagery from commercials. It’s a visual problem, of course. When you run 3300 restaurants across […]

It may seem like nothing could be more dull than a crossword puzzle and a chicken cutlet. You adventurers can have your fun and eat it, too– in whatever form it may be. See, sometimes it takes a slow day and a mental challenge to get you through the rough times. The world hits you […]
