I will be taking my cue from Tarantino and talking thematically rather than chronologically. To paraphrase the wisdom of Grease, some of these items just go together, like shoo-bop sha wadda wadda yippity boom de boom.
The Yorkshire pudding wrap is exactly what you expect it to be. There are no surprises here. It is meat wrapped in an eggy pancake with potatoes and vegetables and gravy. But for all that it is quite satisfying.
A good Jim Shoe is a mess, combining corned beef, roast beef, gyro meat, onions, mustard, gyro sauce, cheese, lettuce and tomato in a hoagie roll. It is a lot.
Driving across South Dakota could be a dull experience. I-90 is 400 miles of mostly flat, mostly straight road going east to west or vice versa across the state. South Dakota has compensated by...
Roast beef sandwiches come in many forms: cold, hot, on sliced bread or a roll, with cheese, jus, horseradish, mustard, onions, mayo/tomato/lettuce, open-faced with gravy. There’s no specific format to follow, no secret history...
Welcome to September my friends! Yes, I am a couple days late on this, as I have been sequestered in deepest Missouri cooking a hog and drinking many beers this weekend. It’s a tough...
Often when we cover a city’s “signature sandwich” here at the Tribunal, there is an apocryphal origin story accompanying the sandwich, one that cannot be verified and is unlikely to be true but is...
I recall my wife watching a movie one time, one of the indie, rambling, mumblecorey films she loves where nothing actually happens except a lot of low-key conversations. I was not really paying attention,...
According to the Wikipedia List of Sandwiches (all hail), the Beirute is “Melted cheese, sliced fresh tomatoes, lettuce leaves, sliced ham on Arab bread” and gives the origin as Brazil. That’s not much to...
In my experience, French dip sandwiches are a pretty common thing to find on a menu. Taverns, family restaurants, steakhouses, BBQ joints… Whether you’re in a big city or a smaller town, odds are...
Jim Behymer (402)I like sandwiches.
I like a lot of other things too but sandwiches are pretty great
Crit (27)I'm a mother of two boys. I work selling organic produce to gullible locals, and in my spare time I run as far as I can. Oh, and I live in Australia, married to a US citizen.
Drew (14)I'm a transgender weirdo who loves music, books, comics, and all kinds of other geeky crap. I edit an arts/music/culture magazine in my hometown of Richmond VA (rvamag.com). But let's not talk about my day job. Let's talk about food. I love food.
Brian (7)I'm a tax guy and technical writer living in the city known to its locals as The Big 'Ago. I self-identify as a fighter against culinary dogma, a sandwich lover, and an overly-earnest hot dog enthusiast.
juliachildish (4)No denying it, I like the sensual things of the world, especially good food and drink, though I'm no snob when it comes to either. A background in American cultural history and food studies makes me approach the world with a desire for contextualization and connection on the way to synthesis.
Thom (1)I'm a seafood-obsessed environmental scientist from North Carolina currently enduring the pain of living in a landlocked state. I spend most of my free time thinking about baseball, history, Shaw Bros. movies and weird synthesizer music.
Marinus (1)A South African now living in Australia, after 12 years in New Zealand and 4 in Ireland. Has worked as an academic researcher for the past decade, which is only slightly less time than it took him to fulfil his promise of writing an entry for the blog.
