My new book: "50 Sad Chairs"
 Totally unrelated to sandwiches: I probably should mention that my new book is out. It's published by the weird and wonderful folks at BlueQ. It's a nice little photo book of the sad chairs of St. Louis. No, really. Discarded chairs in alleys. Abandoned chairs on street corners. Abused chairs on loading docks. You get the picture. You're gonna like it.
Check out www.50sadchairs.com to see some page samples and (if you want) by it at Amazon or Blueq.com.
C'mon!

The Reggie Deluxe at Pine State Biscuits
A dispatch from the Fipelele: "My brother and friends just opened the doors to Pine State Biscuits, the brick and mortar incarnation of the Saturday market stand that they have run for the last couple of years. If you feel the need to clog a few arteries stop by 3640 SE Belmont for a Reggie Deluxe (fried chicken, gravy, cheese, egg betwixt a southern style buttermilk biscuit) and Cheerwine (cherry soda pop from the Carolinas). The Reggie Deluxe made Esquire's best sandwich in America this month. I'm pretty proud of my little bro."

Cheeseburger in a Can is Both the Best and Worst Thing I've Ever Seen
"This is a cheeseburger. In a can. It's a cheeseburger in a can.
I honestly can't figure out how I feel about this: is it the greatest achievement of mankind thus far, or is it an abomination of foodstuffs that deserves to be hucked back into the gaping maw of whatever food processing plant it was spewed from? I just don't know what to think anymore."

Fighting ‘filling creep’ with the CounterForce technique
Here's some sandwich wisdom seen at the simply delightful new sandwich blog, Simply Sandwiches. Competition? No, more like compatriots!
"One of the most common problems when eating sandwiches is that they’re made too slippery and all the delicious filling slowly works it’s way to the back of the sandwich, eventually shooting out the back. You’re left with just handles of bread and half the filling on your plate staring back at you like a prematurely birthed alien. It’s embarrassing and happens to even the best of the sandwich eaters. So how do you avoid it? The CounterForce technique!"

Fantasy burger at AHT
Check out this burger: "I am a retouching artist in Cincinnati. One of our clients is a well-known burger chain. After seeing some of the strangest combos put to bun, I assembled this. The original is six feet tall."

#41: Thit Nuong, NSM|2007
And that's that. The end of National Sandwich Month, 2007.
This delicious beauty -- the thit nuong -- is from Banh Mi So #1 Saigon Gourmet in South Grand. It was really good -- a great finale. But next time, when they ask me if I want "extra beef," I will say yes. It was good, but it really needed more beef.
Regardless, this is one of my new favorite sandwiches -- plus you can't help but love the name of the joint: Banh Mi So #1 Saigon Gourmet!

#40: Pork steak sandwich, NSM|2007
So, they only serve pork steaks on a plate at The Old Rock House. But I was like, "Could I have a pork steak as a sandwich?" And like a smart, customer-oriented place, she said, "Yes." Then I ate it. YUM! Best pork steak ever.
