Patty Melt on wheat
In youth, you would fret over what to do with that hamburger because you didn’t have a bun. A burger without a bun is just a disc of meat on a plate. A burger on sliced bread just makes a mess of torn up intentions. Then you found out about a patty melt– a way […]

Sriracha Chicken on wheat
Sriracha is the most annoyingly spelled hot sauce, but Dietz and Watson thought it as a great marketing tie-in because of it’s dogged following. This spicy chicken sandwich doesn’t disappoint. The spicy kick stays with you, but easily washes away with water and time. The crisp, water-heavy lettuce helps to contrast the bite of spice, […]

Potato Bacon Cheeseburger on bread thin
Look, we don’t have a lot of bread around. We try to resist the temptation of high-carb, but this vocation makes it slightly difficult. Forgive us for another bread thin and focus on the beef patty resting on lettuce, topped with crispy turkey bacon and crispy shredded hash browns. It’s a true journey of flavor […]

Cheese Dogs on buns
As summer (temperatures) come to an end, the difficult sandwich time of autumn looms ahead. Let’s close the book on cookouts with these cheese dogs. We’ve used shredded cheese and implemented the sliced-dog technique, which gets the cheese melted into the core of the salty dog. Toast or grill the bun for added texture, and […]

Egg Beaters on wheat bread thin
This Labor Day we woke up early and slaved away to produce this less-than-epic sandwich. Baked, crispy turkey bacon contrasts the semi-tasteless three-cheese Egg Beaters. Put it on wheat bread to complete the healthy sandwich. Maybe it could be healthier, but it’s a step in the right direction. After all, the rushing around we had […]

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 […]

Honey Mustard Chicken on Italian
You have to thin out the honey mustard. That’s the key. After you’ve chopped and pulled the chicken apart and laid out the fixins for construction, you toss the chicken back in the pan and pour the watery honey mustard mixture (purist here– honey and mustard mixed together) over the chicken and heat until it […]

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, […]

Turkey Pastrami on rosemary olive roll
The last time we featured pastrami, we were put on indigestion medicine for a solid month of discomfort. We never learn. Here’s turkey pastrami on a roof. It’s a nice season to sit out and catch some rays, and while this isn’t a hot sandwich, it’s certainly “hot” for all it’s flavors and fragrance. The […]

Turkey and Peaches on bread thin
It may not look like much, but the hidden gem in this piece is a small amount of Italian dressing between that turkey and the toasted bread thin. It adds a slight flavor to the mild, slightly dry turkey, which then combines perfectly with the sweet peaches. If texture is a concern, then that crispy […]
