My partner and I were trying to agree on a list of our top 5 sandwiches, but once we hit a list of 37 possible contenders (with more that could be added to that list), I decided this would make for a perfect kitchen challenge.
Build a new sandwich once a week, experimenting with ingredients and preparation treatments, document it here, and rank that list at year’s end.
Why blog about the humble sandwich for a year? Because I love sandwiches that much, and I’m betting many of you do, too.
I also think the sandwich is undervalued. Many times people treat the sandwich as a quick and cheap lunch, filled with cheap processed meat, peanut butter and jam, or a mayo-laden boring tuna sandwich. But make a great sandwich with excellent ingredients for someone and it can transform what they think about a tuna sandwich. So this site is an ode to the sandwich and its full potential.
