I absolutely devoured a recent post on the awesome Serious Eats site, rounding up reports on sandwiches by region. (Surprised there were only three mentions of the West, though, and had never before heard of a Dutch Crunch.)
Chewing on these fact-filled essays got me hungry, of course. But it also stirred memories of making endless PB and J sammies for my kiddo when she was going to school. Crusts cut off, pretty please, Mom. Baby Girl's all grown up and she's come a long way in being open to all sorts of food. She'll even split a Reuben with me!
These days, I don't make a lot of sandwiches, preferring to grab one of those hand-held entrees out in the world. I'm kind of obsessed with the crispy hamhock and collard greens creation at Serious Biscuit in Seattle's South Lake Union neighborhood and the muffuletta from the Where Ya At Matt food truck always makes me happy. There's also nothing quite so satisfying as the meatball sandwich at Salumi. And I'll make a special trip to Portland, Ore., just to order Kenny & Zuke's pastrami, pictured here. Same goes for the French Dip at Philippe The Original in Los Angeles and Payne's pulled pork in Memphis.
Not a one of those wonderfully messy creations seems very well-suited for a lunch box. So, when it's got to be no-muss, no-fuss, I'm always going to return to the peanut butter and jelly. Only these days, I've upgraded to almond butter and homemade jam.
What's your go-to sandwich?
