We’re traveling this week, visiting Mindy’s parents and extended family in eastern Washington. Mindy and I were running some Tribunal-related errands in the area of Spokane, Washington on Saturday and happened to drive by...
Friends, I must tell you about this surprisingly good sandwich I just made with a combination of mediocre and excellent ingredients. I was supposed to be taking a day trip to the coast today...
Today is my younger child’s 12th birthday, so a perfect opportunity for cooking massive quantities of very good bacon. Unlike Jim, I don’t have the skill-set, equipment, or space to smoke/cure my own, but...
But of course if you’ve been paying attention you know that we’re not done. Many sandwiches have been added to Wikipedia’s list since we started, and through our own obsessive study of the subject (and through tipoffs from some of you!) we’ve discovered a raft of sandwiches that aren’t even mentioned on the Wikipedia page.
There are people out there who can be driving along, see a new restaurant out of the corner of their eye, mentally register that fact mid-turn-signal, and immediately stop to check the place out,...
Sandwich, Illinois is a town of 7500 about 60 miles west and a little south of Chicago. Plano, with a population of 11,000 or so, is its neighbor to the east. Between the two...
I don’t have to convince you about how great the internet is–you’re reading these words via this medium at this moment. You know all about it. It’s true though–without the internet, something like this...
Early in 2014, my friends Josh, Thom and I started sending brag photos of all the delicious sandwiches we were eating to each other on Twitter. Josh, at the time, was keeping a pretty...
It’s common for people to connect with others on subjects of common interest. Parents of newborn babies are pressed for statistics and sleep schedules, pet owners swap stories and photos. There’s nothing unusual about...
August is a busy time. So many activities seem to get crammed into this month: last-minute vacations, back-to-school shopping, garden work. So far this month I’ve been to a wedding, a family reunion, spent...
Jim Behymer (404)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.
