Even 90s sandwich commercials were extreme. 

Sandwich of the Day: Manwich 2026

 

Sauce is actually pretty good. I added onion, hot sauce, Creole mustard, little ketchup. Better after it sits for a while in fridge.

Sandwich of the Day: Club

 

From the Kinja Archive. Still a few sandwich posts I haven't recreated. An Illeana Douglas reference: "When in doubt, order the club sandwich." A truism. Photos from Wiki.

Tuesday lunch was at a place I had never been to. Club sandwich, fries, iced tea. Other people had gumbo.

Sandwich of the Day: The Veggie

 

Another old post from the Kinja Archive: 5/17/18

- Bonus sandwich. Starving about to watch Beetlejuice Blu-ray. My mother gave me a bag of homegrown cucumber and lettuce, and an avocado. I made a version of this when I was a professional sandwich maker that was popular. People would bring in their own avocado since there was no guarantee I would have ripe ones on any given day. Easier to build on sub-type bread too. Avocado, purple onion, cucumber, lettuce (or sprouts), cheese, Creole mustard and mayo.
