  • Corned beef on rye

    Corned beef on rye

    It’s taken us almost a decade to get a Reuben up here. We had a terrible corned beef experience in 2015 that turned us off for good, so we never got around to revisiting this classic. Luckily we’ve been blessed with the generosity of our guest photographer, James O’Meara, who has been carrying the site…

  • Filet Mignon on steak roll

    Filet Mignon on steak roll

    Oh you prefer filet mignon at a fancy restaurant? Too bad. Marry your white collar with your blue (mixed metaphor) and chop that beef so it’s ripe for the grilling. Cut the cheese into the steak as you finish– don’t just set it on top. Save that spot for the sauteed bell and pepperoncini peppers…

  • Pulled Pork on hamburger bun

    Pulled Pork on hamburger bun

    The scene doesn’t matter when you have a pile of meat soaked in barbecue sauce. The bun may flake as it soaks up the sweet and smoky flavor, but no matter– We’re not here for the bread. We’re here for the pork. The pork that falls out and we scoop up with our fingers in…

  • Turkey and Cheese Panini

    Turkey and Cheese Panini

    Are you one of the millions caught up in tidying thanks to Marie Kondo? We can help you tidy up sandwiches with just a few bites. Case in point, this turkey and cheese panini from a nearby pizza place. Keeping it wouldn’t bring us joy, so we had to eat it each savory bite at…

  • Chicken and Broccoli on nine grain

    Chicken and Broccoli on nine grain

    Valentine’s Day is the day to say I love you to yourself. Prepare a nice balance of good-tasting and good-for-you with shredded chicken and shredded broccoli, sauteed together on the grill, smothered in provolone cheese. Slide the finished product onto buttered nine-grain bread, then grill each side evenly to treat yourself to a filling and…

  • Slow Roasted Pork on kaiser roll

    Slow Roasted Pork on kaiser roll

    A new year is here, and we begin with a guest portrait of piled-high pork, seasoned with garlic, rosemary, thyme, sage, dill, lemon zest, salt, and pepper and roasted until tender. To further the roast, peppers make a colorful topping, all of which is smothered in gravy from the pan. Slap that in a kaiser…

  • Christmas Sandwich on nine grain

    Christmas Sandwich on nine grain

    We hear you. Yes, it looks like another Thanksgiving sandwich, but perhaps you’re unaware of the rising tradition of Christmas Sandwiches in the UK. The idea is taking what would be a traditional Christmas feast and jamming it into sandwich form. Now in a country without our Thanksgiving, one might find a turkey, stuffing, and…

  • Apple Pie Filling on cinnamon toast

    Apple Pie Filling on cinnamon toast

    As the holidays come closer, you may find yourself needing a sweet snack to keep the energy flowing, and that’s where this sandwich comes in. Originally conceived through leftover pie filling and bread, a simple bit of cinnamon sugar on buttered bread turned that filling into a grilled snack for all ages. But be warned:…

  • Thanksgiving Leftovers 2018

    Thanksgiving Leftovers 2018

    The plates are cleared and now it’s time to do the best with what remains. That is the art of life, after all. So this year we find ourselves taking the frozen hash-browns reserved for breakfast and baking them up with some of that leftover turkey. If we could find cheese, that would be great,…

  • BBQ Chicken panini on wheat

    BBQ Chicken panini on wheat

    When pulled barbecue chicken is smothered in melted cheddar and locked into a panini press, it’s only a matter of time before you’ll find yourself thanking yourself for having such an amazing idea. It’s a great way to get some comfort food, enjoy some warmth, and take in a dose of smokey flavor from slow-cooked…
