Probably not as gritty as in the past, but I wouldn't go feeling safe at 2am. I'd say mildly gentrified, with the same Vietnamese community/black community sections it has always been.

Lol

I didn't eat lettuce on my sandwich until my twenties and I'm still not a huge fan of raw tomato (besides tacos) but a BLT with a slice of cheddar is one of the best sandwiches out there.

french roll
pork loin and ham
smoked gouda, pickle, jalapeno, shallot
dijon and yellow, both frenchs

A spicy French Cubano!
Sounds and looks mighty tasty.

ces sandwichs sont superbes je t'aime

would enjoy, nice work Red.

round two
spouse ate the pickle slice, mine diced into relish with jalapeno and scallion

why use 2 different pans?

good question. there was moisture in the meat/veg pan that i didn't want to try to toast in, and spouse wanted to make her own so using the comal freed up the pan for her.

Torta inspired but lazy to get the right bread.

Looks lovely, what meat(s) did you use?

yeah, i'd smash that

Black beans were finished with bacon, jalapeno and grilled onion for some burrito bowls I made.

Meat is jamon de pavo, which is turkey ham.

Cheese is queso manchego.

tortas occupy a soft spot on a short roster of sandwiches preferred with lettuce (shredded only, ldo)

not quite sure why, and also not a linguist
but calling it jamon de pavo y queso manchego immediately sounds better off the tongue

for context just took out ear buds after actively not paying attention while reading previous taste palette opinions
so tell 'erry one a proper torta is served on the equivalent of a super sized bimbo hot dog bun

as for stabbing toasted voids of sourdough with negro frijoles
guessing the next effort will be different from previous

might just qualify under current codes if you need conventional torta bread
but next time the geneva convention comes in to play i hope is your last

we look forward towards better future torta efforts from you
all in fun, looks as if your're living life correct

Yes, I agree that it should be served on telera but whenever I go buy specialty bread I end up wasting the bread I already have.

At the same time I'd never make a reuben on non-rye which is why I just said this was inspired by a torta and not a torta.

A similar crime, I made the same for dinner without the avocado since I was out and I used a packet of hotchata powder instead of real hotchata for my drink.

I'll probably be not lazy in the next week and make an actual torta while I'm still in the Yucatan. If it looks good I'll post again.

Guacamole, Mushrooms, touch of Mayonnaise and Provalone on French roll... WINNING!

understand where you're coming from stabn
hate to waste bread but easy to do when you buy two kinds half dozen each minimum

I've grown to really like Panera Bread's Honey Wheat with a hint of molasses (that's what it says on the package, no idea WTF a hint of molasses means or exactly how much molasses is in the damn bread.

the bread is a sugar delivery system... just like McDonalds French Fries.

One day at Whole Foods:
Patron: Excuse me. Where's the bread?
Employee: Poison? It's on Aisle 12.

Breakfast sando today, same bread.



Only maybe interesting thing is I don't have mayo so the bottom sauce is no sugar plain Greek yogurt with salsa picante

Ok a hot dog isn’t a sandwich. What about this thing which they call a hot dog here in France. I’ve seen these sold at a few bakeries. It’s basically a foot long hot dog stuffed in a light baguette type bread and filled with cheese. I haven’t seen anyone order one yet but assume it’s warmed up.

preemptively acknowledging an awkwardly odd question
but never having seen one
is the weiner long past the end of the bun or parallel to the dairy horizon

Giant pig in a blanket but with denser bread. Fransk or french whatever hot dog, big kolache in parts of the world like Texas.
