I thought I would start out personal. That way if I spill my guts, you will feel more comfortable spilling yours. So the almighty question: What do I like on my sandwich? Well this answer can vary (depending on the time of day, the place, the weather, the mood, the celestial house in which the moon currently resides) but I do have certain standards on which I can always rely. Here they are in no particular order:
1. Bacon
I certainly will stand up and salute the man or woman (probably a man. C'mon, its meat!) who invented this concept any day. The salty, crunchy, fatty meat-ocity that a couple strips of bacon can add makes a world of difference. Works best on its own or a poultry based foundation.
2. Toasted Bun/Melted Cheese
Grill or toast any bread and cheese combo before stuffing it full of your favorites (or don't stuff it. Hey, no one can say they are above a classic grilled cheese!) and you have created an edible MASTERPIECE. The crispy bread and gooey cheese both clash and compliment each other in a beautiful, complete circle of tastes. Those who have access to, or possess the almighty "Sandwich Maker" or Sandwich press have no excuse to not indulge on a daily basis.
3. Pickles
If you need an explanation this, you probably should not even be involved in the discussion. Bread and butter chips, or kosher dill? Does not matter. And the invention of the "stacker" (flat cut) pickles have opened the door wide open on this one: they fit so conveniently in any position, on any type of sandwich.
4. Mustard; Deli-Style/Spicy
You need a wake-up call, Sallie Mae?! A nice kick in the you-knows-whats?! Then smear on that yellow, spicy condiment from heaven and you have just, to use a cliched, overused and possibly copyrighted phrase: kicked it up notch. Makes an everyday lunch experience into a punk-rock concert on your tongue.
