    These are the moments when you feel like the Steve Jobs of sandwiches. You have breakfast food, but you only have a hot dog bun lying around and you can’t make any halfway decent toast with it.

    Southern Fried Chicken on brioche

    Is that chicken smiling at me? I think it is, and while rain is often an omen of sadness, you’d have a hard time staying sad at The Down Pour, in Wilkes-Barre, PA. There you’ll find this buttermilk soaked and corn flake covered breast, kissed with barbecue aioli and on a bed of arugula. What…

  • Crab Balls on bun

    Crab Balls on bun

    When you want a meatball sandwich by the sea, trade up to a crab ball one. Breaded balls of crab meat, mayo, sauces, and herbs comprise the bulk of the experience, spiced up with cocktail sauce. Put all that into a soft bun and swallow down those carbs. Hell, cut them with a cocktail every…

    White, tasteless nothingness can seem so empty and joyless, until you take initiative. Bread it, fry it, cover it in buffalo sauce and now you have something to eat.

  • Steak tartare on French bun

    Steak tartare on French bun

    Surely we can’t do a brains sandwich, but the closest we could get is this nearly undercooked collection of stuff. You might be able to fool a rabid zombie with the very lean ground sirloin, flavored with onion, salt, pepper, and vinegar. The egg yolk helps hold the meat together, while the crispy French roll…

    The Sem sandwich is named for the prestigious Wyoming Seminary Prep School. The school is known for its bold combination of oven-roasted turkey and old-fashioned ham, layered next with provolone, bacon, tomato, and lettuce. Wait, that’s the sandwich. Right? Who cares. The sandwich is a fresh combination of various meats and it makes a filling…

  • Ham and Salami on sesame seed bun

    Ham and Salami on sesame seed bun

    This place looks overgrown– overwhelmed with the growth of ivy, vines, and weeds. This sandwich is also overwhelming. So many flavors come together that you may not be able to tell which one is most powerful. Is it the spicy mustard? The genoa salami? Maybe that pepper ham? Or that muenster cheese? Does it really…
