First tomatoes of the season... seemed appropriate. 

That's pretty goddamn beautiful.

Toasted up a Turkey, hot salami, bacon, cheddar, lettuce, tomato, olive oil mayo and s&p on whole wheat. All that's missing is a cold claussen pickle spear but I was too hungry to run to the store. 

[Anastasis 23473]

Goddamnit I want a sandwich right now. 

[huge 3793]

I just had a grilled cheese with turkey and pickle.  Too hungry/hungover to take a pic but I might make another.

Cross posting but damn proud of my 12 year old daughter.  She wanted to make chicken sandwiches from scratch.  Here is her 1st attempt.  These are the only pictures that you will get fuckers.

Teach a boy to make a sandwich, and he'll eat for a day. Teach a boy to meet a girl who makes sandwiches, and he'll eat sandwiches for a lifeti......until a month after the wedding.

So.... bear with me. This sandwich has history. My grandpa let me work for the family business around mixers and loaders and dump trucks when I was 12. 16 was the minimum age. When Osha showed up I had to go hide in the parts room upstairs in the shop where I would do everything from clean the shitter to do 1000 services on an Oshkosh. 

Anyhow,  my grandpa,  who was 78 or 79 at the time and still came to work every day used to grab me around noon and say let's go grab a sandwich at LD's Cafe. This was a shit hole but they had awesome fried pork sandwiches and on Friday night they had fantastic deep fried jumbo shrimp. Regardless... the fried pork chop sandwich was a heavily battered pork chop with raw white onion,  shredded iceberg and tomato with a mayo/mustard sauce. 

Haven't had one in 30 years. Did my best to recreate it tonight. Slammed.

10/10 post. Succinct story that was worth reading and a badass sandwich. That's how it's done.

Great story about a great memory. I hope that fucking awesome sandwich brought sweet memories back of your grandpa and those days. So many of my favorite times are triggered and built around various foods, whether it’s simple like cornbread in a glass of buttermilk, or a plate of cheese enchiladas, or a blt with the bread toasted in bacon grease. Pop always shows up.

A simple sandwich: ham, turkey, WB honey mustard, but with hatch chilies and a fucking awesome tomato.

I see something good but can’t get past the salmon. Even living in Portland and getting it off the day boat it still reeks of the canned red chum they stunk my elementary school with.

No one wants to be the guy that follows the man but fuck it.  Fried chicken with ham and Swiss.

You get that worked up because someone doesn’t like a polarizing fish like salmon on a board? Eat a bottle of Xanax douche. Choke on some pin bones.

I guess I'm a fucking idiot, too, because at 47 years old I still haven't quite acquired a taste for salmon. 

Now, I've had Copper River king salmon in season in Seattle, and it was served pretty plain, some salt and pepper, but no rub or sauce, and I thought it was outstanding. But you can't get that often in Central Market or Whole Foods, and when you can it's fucking expensive.  The garden variety salmon behind the seafood counter still can taste too "fishy" for me.  It's a shame, because it's one of the healthiest proteins out there.

I've enjoyed it in Washington, particularly the one I caught, which was handed to the guy from the restaurant when we docked the boat, and which was grilled and brought to me at our table.  My old man used to go Salmon fishing every year, and he'd have a metric shit ton of it smoked, canned, and shipped to Texas.  But outside of that, suffice it to say that the good stuff is a little harder to come by in Texas and I have been underwhelmed enough times that I tend not to bother with it.

[Underdog 28684]

Not a big salmon fan myself but I attribute most of it to never really eating it that often.

Back when I took a short 18-month detour into working for my buddy's Dallas BBQ operation, I got friendly with the chef/owner of the fine dining place behind us in Preston Center. He was the executive chef who opened Al Biernat's with Al way back when and got them their early rave reviews. He had a "farmer's burger" on his lunch menu. It was a standard thin/smashburger with a breaded pork cutlet that was pounded flat, breaded and fried and put on top with typical burger accessories (LTO, etc). Goddamn it was gloriously good.

When I lived in Portland each of the rivers and big creeks had their separate salmon runs and some of the locals could discern them like fine wine. Copper Creek, Nehalim Bay, Willamette, Clackamas, the list is long. I tried them all, absolutely fresh, and just can’t get far with it. My son can eat smoked salmon by the pound. It’s all far superior to Atlantic salmon which is farmed. It’s puke.

I do miss that PNW seafood like dungeness crab, oysters, halibut. They don’t have shrimp Worth a shit though.

[Horn Draoi 255]

Just can’t handle salmon, maybe as a smoked salmon dip. No shark, no redfish, no fresh tuna, no swordfish for me, thanks.  OTOH, I love all crustaceans, mollusks, and white-fleshed fish, and celebrate anchovies and crispy fried sardines.  Taste is a strange phenomenon.

[Party_Taco 3733]

Shark, swordfish and salmon in the same breathe… by god!

Can’t believe I spawned #salmongate

[Brisketexan 105151]

As for me.....if it lives in the ocean, I love it.  All of it.  Wild, farmed, fish, mollusks, crustaceans, all of it.  I bet I'd love those worms that live by those deep sea vents.  Fry up a basket full, gimme a cold beer.....yeah, I'd eat it.  Like a plate of whitebait at a pub:

Well, we went off on a "seafood I would/wouldn't eat" tangent, as Surly tends to do.  But to make it topical.....put that on a loaf of crusty french bread, and I'd eat the hell out of it.

You need some sriracha Mayo on that bun.

Otherwise looks great!
