Pierogies + cheese + onions + kraut = Parmageddon!

As a devotee of the "more is more" school of sandwich making, this picture of the "Parmageddon" sandwich makes me drool. Two potato and cheese pierogies (Slavic stuffed dumplings), a greasy tangle of grilled onions, sauerkraut, and a slab of cheddar cheese, squeezed between two thick slices of grilled bread.

The photo comes courtesy of writer-photographer David Lay, who captured this beast at Lakewood, Ohio's Melt Bar and Grilled. Melt specializes in a psychedelic variety of grilled cheese sandwiches - smoked turkey, kraut and gouda; beer battered walleye, tartar sauce, American. The Parmageddon was featured as a reader's favorite in Esquire's "Best Sandwiches in America." Now, if I can just get my Polish grandmother to teach me to make her potato pierogies, I'd be all set.

I've had that sandwich before at Melt. It really is a great sandwich. Every sandwich in that place is great. It's always nice to see Cleveland get some attention for it's food.

It could well taste good -- most fattening things do. Fortunately, though, I've reached a point (finally!) in my life where the site of an entire day's calories (or more) in one item is not appetizing.

Could only be better if there were a few slices of *good* kielbasa on there!
