  • Gerber sandwich

    Gerber sandwich

    Maybe we caught this sandwich at a bad time. It looks more like ham meets garlic bread, you may think. You’re almost right. A slight glaze of garlic butter should be spread on the bread, then topped with ham, cheese, and paprika. Some will say this is an open face sandwich, but surely we won’t…

    Fried Bologna & Cheese on white

    The familiar flavor of bologna hits your taste buds. And yet, it’s different this time. It’s warm, crispy on the edges. There’s cheese in the mix, too. There’s no confusion: we’re not aiming for health. But the lighting in this place isn’t the only thing that’s disorienting– so is the rich flavor that comes from…

    Cheese Omelet and Bacon on plain bagel

    From darkness you wake, nose first, to the scent of bacon frying on the stove. What kind of magical visitor has come to your home? Surely there is no Breakfast Fairy, but if there were, she would be flying just above the stove, moving between preparing a cheese omelet and making the bacon just right.…

  • Grilled Cheese and Bacon on white

    Grilled Cheese and Bacon on white

    You just might need a crane to lift the weight of this epic sandwich. After frying bacon in a pan, drop in a piece of bread and let the excess grease coat it for grilling. Toss on a mix of cheddar and American cheese, pile on the slabs of bacon, and add another piece of…

    Eggplant Parmesan on bread thin

    For a second week in a row, we explore the healthy side of sandwich. In terms of texture, eggplant Parmesan is a distant cousin to its chicken counterpart. It’s veggie-only recipe can be livened up with pimento peppers, fresh basil, and cheese. No frying necessary. After coating eggplant in a light breading and slapping on…

    Video Portrait: Turkey and Cheese

    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.

  • Chicken Breast on whole wheat bun

    Chicken Breast on whole wheat bun

    Too plain? Don’t hate. Sometimes you have to go big– pile on the veggies, spices, and condiments– but sometimes you’re in a hurry. What are you going to do? Bake up a frozen piece of chicken and slap some cheese on top. There’s no shame in simplicity. Sometimes things can get so complicated that having…

  • Grilled Ham and Cheese on wheat

    Grilled Ham and Cheese on wheat

    Each hot sandwich is a slice of life. The problem is that they only stay warm for so long. Like our treasured moments, they don’t last forever and sometimes go away too quickly. The key is to enjoy them. Don’t rush through them and don’t sit around waiting. The best case would be not to…

  • Grilled Cheese and Tomato on wheat

    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.
