Ay Chihuahua Famosa! Chili and cheese beg for that thin crisp tortilla chip texture and the tostadas work to support and augment these big flavors, the savory earthy warmth of the chili, the salty pungency of the cheese, punctuated by the sweetness of pimento.

Chicken Zinger Burger The breading had a lot of flavor, featuring a hint of that green seasoning marinade, the bright and pungent culantro flavor enhanced by the lime, the peppery heat of ginger, the pervasive allium of the onion, scallion, and garlic.

What About Barb? It’s a Massachusetts Thing There is not a darn thing wrong with this sandwich--it's warm and savory, soft and comforting, satisfying without the need for aggressive flavors or a half-dozen condiments.

Church Basement Cherry Cheese There's a balance there between sweet and sour, between the rich butteriness of the cream cheese and the softness of the bread, enhanced by the aromatic nuttiness of the cherries.

The Zombie Hordes… of Cheese Hot molten cheese and warm bread is a winning combination, especially with a nice hot tomato soup for dipping and a bright pickle spear on the side for a cool, crisp, briny bit of contrast.

I'll keep them in mind! Supposedly Amigos has one too

Cheese Frenchees I keep mental maps of the various parts of the world I might find myself visiting, culinary maps, the barebones makings of foodie itineraries to develop in case the world ever gives me the nudge I need to make my way there. Some of these maps are densely packed with must-hit bucket list spots that it would take me many visits to get through, like…

Cheese and Onion Sandwich I do like a strong-flavored sandwich filling like this, pungent and savory, sweet and sour, salty and sharp, and it doesn't hurt to put plenty of bread around something this potent.

A photograph of the seminary gym in knives out. It has the same window.

Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Australian Cheese and Bacon Rolls These were delicious, and delightful eaten out of hand without any additional adornment, the sharpness of the cheddar and the salty smoky bacon more than enough seasoning for the fist-sized hunks of bread.

Chanclas Poblanas The chancla will seem familiar to a fan of the torta ahogada, but it's different enough to make it something else entirely, perhaps not even a sandwich but rather a sandwich-shaped arrangement of tasty things.

looks like a pastrami Reuben basically, and I'm picky about those. I can see 2 red flags already. I bet it's really good anyway though.

Unless you just posted it on a half-dozen different sites under different pseudonyms in which case, my bad. Anyway, as an old person, I connected deeply with your grumbling about how the internet isn't as good as it used to be :)

Thanks for having nice things to say about the site! btw I found your article because I got a handful of pingbacks from sites copying your post without attribution so I searched for the headline to find the original.

Google's obsession with killing off links betrays what made the internet great The best version of the internet put links first, but Google no longer wants you to leave its own search pages.

Anyway if you take the time to read just one thing I write this year please make it this one! thxu

Dog Days: Carolina-Style Hot Dogs It's the coleslaw that throws some people off--that cool creamy salad sitting on a bed of hot chili and sausage may seem discordant. But the creaminess of the slaw complements the savory chili and the salty fatty sausage well.

I’m Not Crazy… This Beef Is Crazy Deeply savory from the slow-cooked beef and the tomatoes, no sugar but the natural sweetness provided by the onions and peppers, with a touch of sour and bitter from the vinegar and olives to help brighten the other flavors

tbh though I cared a *lot* more about Cassian watching Rogue One again after seeing Andor and so it raised the stakes for me and got me more invested in the movie.

Full disclosure: I also like too much coffee and bad TV

tbh this sounds like a pretty good day

The Caesaroni, a New Toronto Neighborhood Staple I'd made the sandwiches too restrained, too balanced. Sometimes that's a good idea with big flavors, with the Caesaroni the right move is to let those big flavors out to play.

November List Sandwiches and October Wrapup In November, the Tribunal will be taking a stab at the Canadian Caesaroni, the Brazilian Carne Louca, and the Carolina-style hot dog (not the bird dog this time)

A Flemish Mess: Smos/Dagobert/Broodje Gezond I was hungry, and the sandwich was good, the fresh flavors of the cucumber and tomato dressed with mayonnaise accenting the substantial and savory ham, cheese, and egg.

Dutch Broodje Bal The sandwich was successful, the meatball savory and aromatic, enhanced by the spicy and sweet peanut sauce, but kept from feeling too heavy by the fresh lettuce and cucumber.

Surinamese Broodje Bakkeljauw The bacalao is dense and salty, the intense umami of the fish concentrated by cooking down in oil but delightfully cut through by the salty and sour pickled vegetables as well as the sweet, spicy, pungent piccalilli sambal.

Brat burger YouTube video by Sandwich Tribunal

Recently I asked a friend what he thought of brat burgers, and he said he found them mild and underwhelming compared to either a hamburger or a bratwurst in sausage form. I don't think mine will change his mind but they're pretty good! #bratwurst #bratburger #wisconsin youtu.be/Y0KRQSv4YfI
