Our final List sandwich this month comes from closer to home than the two South American sandwiches we’ve explored already, but it’s still a regional specialty that doesn’t travel much beyond its native Western...
The details of some of the sandwiches we cover on the Tribunal are highly fungible–for example, the Barbecue sandwich we covered last month offered a wide range of possibilities for us to pursue, some of...
It’s been a slow November so far at Sandwich Tribunal. Our sandwiches this month are challenging, each of them a specialty of a far-off region, whether Chile’s delicious Barros Luco, or Brazil’s Bauru, or the...
Last month, with a big assist from the Bay Essence blog, I wrote something like 3000 words about a ham and cheese sandwich. Not just any ham and cheese sandwich–the Barros Jarpa, an inexpensive...
Before I get into talking about the subject at hand, let me begin with a mea culpa: it has indeed been quite a while since I posted to the Sandwich Tribunal, and you’d be...
Barbecue is a many splendor thing. From the vinegary tang of the Carolinas to the smokey brisket of Texas, to the dry rubs and hickory smoke of Memphis, to the sweet and spicy meat...
Similar to the Chilean ham and cheese sandwich that we’re also covering this month, the Bánh Mì is a culinary Frankenstein, a hybrid of a country’s local flavors with the techniques of a colonizing power. This time though,...
The first I heard of Banh Mi was on the forum where I first met Jim, Brian, Andrew, and Josh. The forum wasn’t food based, but we did talk about food a lot. I...
What defines a sandwich? Not the definition of the word “sandwich,” there’s plenty of hand-wringing readily available going around already on that topic. But what defines a specific sandwich? What makes a Philly a...
This month on the List, one sandwich out of our triad is simply called “Barbecue Sandwich.” In my opinion, that’s not a single item, that’s a category all to itself. You could make a separate...
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.
