    Muffaletta. Made the bread from scratch, used central grocery olive salet. So good. 

  • So.... bear with me. This sandwich has history. My grandpa let me work for the family business around mixers and loaders and dump trucks when I was 12. 16 was the minimum age. When Osha showed up I ha

    Had a friend give me some corned beef, kraut, Russian dressing and sour pickles from Kat’z in NYC. Reuben time for dinner.

That's all the beef that was leftover, and that's the best bread my HEB has - especially in a limited quantity.  I did toast the ingredient facing side as well.  Those bolillo rolls are pretty tasty.

You got what you got; you can cut a layer off that top section but maybe you like that bread meat ratio.

Maybe he works in the recruiting office at A&M.

The actual way Elvis liked this sandwich, as made hundreds of times by his longtime maid, was on regular white bread but griddled  in butter. A lot of butter, 2 sticks for three sandwiches.  It also had no jelly.  Just peanut butter, banana, and bacon.  
 

TCB, baby.

i did make Big Macs for Elvis late one night at a McDonald’s in Memphis near Graceland.  He was on his big Gold Wing, and didn’t know it was him until the girl at the window screamed.  He drove away with his 6 burgers and fries.  Should have kept the spatula.

Well that’s a pretty good story. 
 


 

 

 

 

 

OTOH: You may very well have killed him.

Just to clarify, that was an indictment of McDonald’s, not your culinary skills.

When you’re 16 and working the 5pm-2am shift you have no thoughts other than “what motherfucker just ordered 6 Mac’s at 130 am and now I gotta fuck up my grill?”  I was thinking about the beer I’d be drinking as soon as the door locked.  
 

Those Mac’s probably contributed to his severely impacted colon.  Those tuinals kill any motility.

As soon as he used sweet relish in the tartar sauce I was out.

Should always be dill pickle relish.

If it as a post against sweet relish, it's as serious as a heart attack.

Yes…..

Might as well use Miracle Whip instead of mayo if you use sweet relish.

I just bought a meat grinder today.  So I'm now thinking about grinding up one of those corn beef briskets with some chuck for Reuben meatloaf, Reuben burgers, hell, Reuben sausage.  I'm sure I'll screw this up somehow.

Wife is a vegetarian and wanted to use some focaccia that she brought home. Decided to make a Sammy.

Focaccia, burrata, tomatoes, cucumbers, pickled red onion, olives, pepperoncini, balsamic glaze, olive oil, arugula and salt and pepper. Much better than I would have thought. I’d make it again for sure.

How big is it? (Pause).

That’s a lot of arugula.

Ha, It was a large loaf, prolly 10 inches across.  I put a lot on there for filler and it wasn't bitter at all.  All the other things cancelled it out and it ended up being perfect.

Hard to beat a good BLT

Just made a BLAT, and it was one of the best things I've eaten in a LONG time.

Who was the surly-ite (actually shagster) who like his bacon almost tartare? He would basically cook it by waving a flashlight over it for a few seconds.

Do you still use mayo with the avocado? I did this once with both the avocado and may at it was a bit much. Made one with guac sans mayo and it was pretty good.

Still think I like the basic with Dukes mayo and an heirloom tomato the best.

I did.  A BLT without mayo just seems sacrilegious.

Lettuce,tomato and jalapeno slaw, fried thick cut bologna, fried mortadella, pan fried pepper jack cheese, and a fried egg.

I would go with a thinner cut of bologna next time and more mortadella, but it was still delicious.

Been making these for my kiddo and I all week. Turkey, prosciutto, salami with red onion, tomato, shredded lettuce, provolone, Duke’s Mayo, Gulden’s Spicy Mustard, homemade “sub sauce” (EVOO, red wine vinegar, apple cider vinegar) on bread from Empire Baking in Inwood Village.

@C-Man you ever go to new york sub 2.0 over there by SMU?  I think you’re around there. 

Sure do. I'm not too far from there at all. Good place owned by good people. Their take on the Cubano is really good. The owners "bought" all of Peggy Sue BBQ's branding and recipes and have been smoking BBQ. They mostly vacu-seal it and sell it out of the coolers, along with the old Peggy Sue's sides and their mustard BBQ sauce is spectacular. Anyway, they use the pulled pork from the Peggy Sue's operation on the Cubano sub that is terrific. Their hot dog offerings are tasty too.

But the best sandwich in all of DFW is from Pizzeria Carina in Preston Center. It's basically their take on Anthony Bourdain's mortadella sandwich. Holy hell, it's slams and goes very fucking hard. Here's a pic:

I used to crush NY Sub growing up but haven’t lived in dallas since around 2003.  does it taste the same?  it shut down for a while and reopened under new owners right?  and I haven’t tried  peggy sue 2.0 yet either.

Its pretty close.  Closer than anything else you'll find.

My jam was the 14 peppered beef.  They now use some "ultra premium" variant that has a slight sweet/smoky taste that isn't the same and not as good, IMO.  I also don't like the Italian dressing they use quite as much.  It's also considerably more expensive.

But peppered beef is a bitch to find, so.  I really dig "enhanced" beef, corned, pastrami, etc. and NY Sub's original peppered beef, whatever it was, was one of the best I've ever had, to my taste. YMMV.

Kinda with ya there.  I ate the shit out of Oscar Meyer bologna as a kid, but also ate Vienna sausages and deviled ham.

Now, bologna/mortadella sounds kind of gross to me.

I know it's not quite the same and the smoke adds a dimension, but still  . . . .
