I blended together carp row, soaked breadcrumbs, lemon juice, and olive oil. I formed patties with that and cooked them in the pan, and served them drizzled with a grape juice reduction. They were awful.

Kenji Lopez-Alt of the Food Lab, buttered and toasted both the inner and outer faces of the bread, and used a Microplane to grate parmiggiano reggiano over the cold butter before grilling to develop a crisp, umami-rich outer crust. Then I set it on the plate and ladled a tomato-soup-like sauce over the sandwich to reinterpret the soup-and-sandwich tradition, inspired by the torta ahogada.
This is amazing. I've tried it a couple of times, wow.

This morning I stuck an over easy egg in the middle. The options are endless.

Why the grape juice?

To try to cover up how awful they were on their own.

I was making a Greek fish salad (taramasalata) but I got distracted by a baby task and screwed up the emulsion. I felt so bad about the waste that I took a chance to do something else with that glop. But you just can't save fish egg glop.

Greatest sandwich in the world: The August tomato sandwich

Heirloom tomato from a farm down the road, salt, pepper, and mayo on white bread.

It's been a hot summer, so the tomatoes are even more amazing than usual

How was that? I've never liked peanut butter and cheese together, which psychologists fashion into poop shapes and fed to children to prove they'll eat anything.

Today's lunch: cold leftover smoked chicken, corn on the cob, tomato and mozzarella salad.

It was pretty good. I think in retrospect I'd just make a peanut butter and pickle sandwich but add bacon and a dash or two of hot sauce.

To me that chicken looks like it's made with the right chicken. I like mole made with the turkeys that are in Mexico, which are tough. I never really loved chicken mole made with tender fryer chickens. That chicken looks like it has some chew to it, like a real stewing chicken that cooks ups kind of stringy, which would be perfect for stewing in the mole.

I like it, but if you choose to take it to another level try a gas station tuna salad sammich.

The reward is a world class colon cleanse and that just adds to the entire experience.

Let's say it's legitimate to use crap bread and crap turkey loaf cold cuts. It's not a Cuban sandwich if it isn't hot off a sandwich press. It was a sandwich that's been sitting in a refrigerator since it was made the day before.

That's fine but call it what it is: "The You're Flying Economy Class and Your First Flight Was Delayed and You Didn't Have Enough Time Grab Something in the Airport Because You Had to Run across the Terminal Screaming 'Hold the Door!' Sandwich"

You mean she could help change the name? That would be such an insult lifted from Cubans everywhere. Maybe call it the "Trump Family Turkey Sandwich." I love the Trumps!
