Just thinking about my next super sandwich. It's an art and it's been too long since I've cooked one up.
"What is a super sandwich?" you might find yourself asking...
Well I'm glad you asked. Go to your favorite grocery store and guided only by the spirit of culinary creativity wander around looking for anything that might be good smashed between veggies, meats, and cheeses.
It is important that you do not go in with a plan. You are merely a vessel for the sandwich you are about to birth into the world. This said I do like to have some rule
1) Variety. I like to have at least three different meats, three different cheeses, and three different veggies
2) Get weird with it. Try that ingredient or sauce. Why settle for normal mayo when there's that weird soft plastic Japanese mayo with the baby on it? Why go for normal mustard when you can hunt down the perfect coarse ground for you? You will know what's right, because the sandwich will tell you.
3) If it's worth doing its worth overdoing. The place you're at has a bakery? Buy the loaf of sourdough and ask them to cut it extra thick. Why settle for plastic bags of cheese when you can get the good stuff. Buy a grade higher of meat than you usually would, or get the veggies fresh instead of frozen.
The most important thing is if there are extra steps you can take, you really should take them.
For example: after getting the bread sliced specially I like to toast it in three distinct phases to give it the best texture and taste. First pouring a little olive oil into a skillet and toasting the bread by hand on the stovetop, followed by hitting it with the good mayo and toasting it just a little further while the mayo is on it, then finish the toasting when I melt the cheese onto both top and bottom. Each step absorbs something into the bread while crisping it up perfectly.
If you stick to this guide and follow the spirit of creativity while remembering that there's no kill like overkill you will come out with something tasty. No two should be the same, given the variety in ingredients and methods you can employ. By the time you're done your sandwich should be art, and you'll be very proud.
