The Sandwich Times - Volume 5

1. Once again the humble Sandwich is the part of the vitally important Iowa State Senate's Legislative Agenda:

"The Iowa Senate, perhaps caught up in nostalgia or swayed by delicious sandwiches, last week approved an amendment providing a loophole for Taylor's Maid-Rite restaurant in Marshalltown to slip through the state's food safety requirements. The restaurant has been making Maid-Rites in its traditional cookers for more than 80 years. That includes keeping cooked meat hot in the same cooker used for raw meat."


3 Gripping news as always form the Henderson County Schoolboard in Kentucky, where, wait for it, they are planning on adding turkey to their "controversial" cheese sandwich for students in sandwich-arrears ($40.00 of debt or more)

When questioned on the matter, Ellen Redding with the Henderson County School Board commented: "It is now a deli sandwich".

If you will pardon me for editorializing a bit, this kind of sandwich rift is exactly the kind of strife that the good people of Henderson County need to work on. In our world of ever changing moralities and waining national unities, we as people need to work together on establishing some basic societal truths: that all people are deserving of equality before the law, that everyone has the right to express themselves in a free and just society and that ADDITIONS OF SINGLE SLICES OF AMERICAN CHEESE DO NOT MAKE FOR A DELI SANDWICH.


4. Previously mentioned on this blog, Sky Blue Sandwiches, recently went viral in a very major way. After a twitter shoutout from the band themselves, as well as coverage on the Hipster-Talmud Pitchfork Media, Torontoist and even the Chicago Tribune.

I say kudos for good work. Always love to see Toronto Sandwiches get much needed shine.

5. And now for some the moment you've all been waiting for:

SANDWICH PORN

The Momofuku Pork Buns - with Pork Belly, Hoisin sauce, Cucumber on a Steamed Bun. These buns led to me purchasing a $65 cookbook to only find out: a) the recipe is readily available on the internet and b) is so complicated and burdensome that it would be easier and less time-consuming for me to ride a unicycle to one of their East Village locations and back.
