This sandwich, I mean. It's kind of ridiculous. We were sitting around the dining table one night, at dinner, & I had this idea for a sandwich. (What? You don't discuss food while eating food with your family?) I knew I wanted something along the lines of a Primanti Brothers sandwich, but a little different.
A mayo-smeared roll topped with French fries, slices of fried chicken, prosciutto, avocado, shredded lettuce & tomato.
What a mess. What a delicious mess.
It wasn't exactly right: a spicy mayo or even spiced fries would improve things. And mashing the avocado would help structural integrity.
But it was good. (Alex & I, of course, had a similar sandwich using faux chicken & bacon).
Good, & let's face it: ridiculous.

Avocado Club Egg Roll Despite living in California for a few years, I never ate at a California Pizza Kitchen. But I found I couldn't resist their new cookbook, California Pizza Kitchen Family Cookbook. It's a little dynamo: small, jam-packed,...
- Wartime Wednesday: Chicken Club Sandwich
Defying the laws of gravity, this Chicken Club Sandwich is simple & fattening. Three slices of toast are buttered and removed of crusts. The bottom layer is spread with mayo, then topped with lettuce and cooked chicken (in our case, roasted), which is...
