9 Nasty Truths About Your Favorite Foods
Famous Death Row Last Meals
The Today show is running a contest in which they are attempting to name the best sandwich in America. They solicited recommendations from all over the country and have now narrowed it down to the top five. The finalists are a New Orleans Muffuletta, Pastrami on Rye from Katz Deli, Vesuvio's Cheesesteak BLT, a Maine Lobster Roll and Chicago's Frenchy's Fantasy. I'm really excited to see Philly made the list with the Cheesesteak BLT from Vesuvio's (although I must admit that I've never tried that particular sandwich). However, I am sort of surprised that there's no Primanti Bros. sandwich, as that's a fairly outrageous and delicious sandwich concoction. And, where are the options for vegetarians? I can't believe that there's not some amazing sandwich out there constructed of greens, cheese and eggplant. You can cast your vote here, but in the comments, why don't you tell us about your favorite sandwich.

Vegetarian, try his roasted eggplant, his version of a BLT, Bacon minus the tomato, slow roasted lamb, caprese (he makes his own mozzarella)the list goes on and on. Freshly made bread in a brick oven. It's now wonder this man has earned a James Beard Award for making pizza,now he should get one for his sandwiches. I can't wait to see what the special is today

Roasted Tomato & Cheddar at the Soho Grand in NYC. How they manage to make a grilled cheese so damn tasty, I'll never know.
Enjoy..................G

A few years ago I went to Spain and fell in love with the bocadillos -- we walked into some little hole in the wall in Seville that had the BEST cheese and ham sandwiches. I also really liked their local fast food chain Pans y Co. (Just looked up their website and found that they'd introduced bagels to their menu --oy!)

They might as well have said, "Yada yada, just slop it together, we'll take a bite, and that's all we left time for on the Today Show!" Ok, it's not a kidnapping, not a Dem debate, not a song, but this is what gets non-watchers like me to tune in when they wouldn't otherwise. Vesuvio's is my nephew's restaurant, darn it all. It was just, well, I'll say it....a rude, rushed presentation.
