An idea for a cheese sandwich post has been eluding me this month. Some sandwiches are interesting to explore and write about, some are so basic it’s hard to know where to start. A cheese sandwich is...
I’m a mother. I make a lot of sandwiches for my small child to take to school. My kids tend to favour fillings with no nutritional value, like jam or Vegemite or honey. I...
What is a sandwich, anyway? Two pieces of bread—or can it be three? What kind of bread counts? As the great Pound Cake Facebook Debate of 2015 suggested, for some people cake is not...
Chile’s sandwich game is so strong that it got me to reverse a lifelong aversion to green beans.
It’s a long, cold ride to 35th and Morgan in the Chicago neighborhood of Bridgeport from my office in the West Loop, just shy of five miles in weather that’s barely breaking into double...
A couple of quick hits here, as I had a bit of a theme going this weekend and I thought I might take a moment to tick off the purists. I live a stone’s throw from...
“Why am I putting these into a sandwich?” I thought to myself as I constructed my Broodje Kroket. A blasphemous thought, perhaps, especially within the context of Tribunal research, but the heart feels what...
When I was a kid, my stepfather Tim was from Pella, Iowa, a small town of (at the time) about eight thousand people southeast of Des Moines that didn’t so much cling to its...
Often at the Tribunal, when presented with an unfamiliar sandwich originating in a far off and exotic land (e.g., Buffalo, NY), I’ll have no choice but to try and recreate that sandwich myself, from...
In celebration of Mardi Gras, for the month of February J.P. Graziano (who make what is my absolute favorite sandwich in Chicago, and who are part of the inspiration for this site) are offering a muffaletta...
Jim Behymer (377)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.
