food Sandwich of the Month

It's all about the bread. Buy a good hero bread, next day it's dense and rubbery or stale. Like bagels. I either eat fresh or freeze even if I plan to eat it tomorrow. Chance it, and even tomorrow, a rock. So I just started freezing the whole damn sammie. :rofl: But I was 18 okay!
 
I so rarely eat sammiches. I keep a loaf of bread in the freezer. When I want to make a sammich for lunch, I slap stuff on some frozen bread in the morning and, similar to your approach, it's thawed and ready to be eaten come lunchtime. I just don't freeze the insides else who knows how many weeks/months before it would become lunch? The few sammiches you've seen me post here were truly exceptions, made just for this site. Did I post one or two?  :lol:

You adapted.
 
Improvised.
 
And overcame.
 
And we were all 18.
 
Once.

I see what you're saying.
 
And if I'm comprehending it correctly.
 
You're saying that you faked it.

Ed.
 
That looks like some mighty fine southern californication.
 
Texas Toast.
 
1977.
 
I was working at a steak joint in Harlingen, TX.
 
There was the grill guy for steaks.
 
The salad gal for salads and desserts.
 
A guy, usually a manager, that coordinated, served, and help plate up.
 
And then there was the fry guy.
 
A small flat grill.
 
With 2 bake potato drawers under that.
 
Next to 3 deep fryers.
 
One for CFS.
 
One for chicken.
 
And one just for shoe string fries.
 
But back to the flat top.
 
Sitting on that was a square metal bowl like container.
 
It had a metal wheel that spun around in the middle.
 
You'd toss in pound of butter and a handful of grated parm.
 
You'd snatch the thick egg bread and roll it on the wheel.
 
Then slap it on the griddle.
 
It held about a loaf at a time.
 
In the fall the snowbirds would start showing up.
 
We were doing between 1,000 and 1,400 covers every day.
 
And they all loved our Texas Toast.
 
We worked our asses off.
 
Good times.
 
I was a cook at a nice hotel in wine country when I was younger. Majority of the people I worked with would show up to work stoned out of their mind and would often call in "sick" so I would have to cook then run and put on my paisley patterned vest and bow tie to  run the food up to the rooms. Terrible job. Watching those tickets come pouring out of the machine like Niagara falls was a terrifying experience. It was a good learning experience but probably something I would never do again.
