One of the things Eve does very well is make soup. All kinds of the best soup you ever had. Soup and sandwich shop? You and I could be the waitresses.

But I would get more tips!

You would be schmoozing with all the customers while everyone was waiting for their sandwiches and soup and coffee and I would have to do all the work.

My current favorite is P B & J ....from the kiosk at 35th in Herald Square.

I am waiting for the funeral of Sid Bernstein to start and I peak at a blog concerning sandwiches. I am boring Corned Beef on rye with deli mustard at the one and only Ben's Best in Rego Park.

This guy Fred seems very tip able

What? No onions or green peppers?

What? White bread?

pastrami on rye from katz's - because my father used to take me there

Is there comment padding going on here? My husband convinced me to buy a panini press. I thought it would be a waste of money. But, tell Joanne, every sandwich tastes better on the panini press.

Has Mitch learned how to pad?

Great subject....Diane teases me about my love of white bread for sandwiches. I don't want a bread that's going to steal away the actual taste of what's in the sandwich to begin with ! I do deviate. Carnegie Deli sandwiches with rye. In California they serve French's bright yellow mustard on everything ! Yuck ! The land of the fruits and nuts and cheap crappy mustard. I carry my own bottle of Guldens in the glove box of my car. I have discovered Dutch Crunch bread...Good with thinly sliced rare roast beef, salt and pepper, vinaigrette and a small slice of red onion. I always order extra meat (Carnegie Deli style )...The meat HAS to be very rare....So...as you can tell The Carnegie Deli is my quintessential benchmark....In California it's all about everything else on the sandwich but the meat...UGH !! Tell Joanne to try mixing a little Curry Powder in the chicken salad...You will be transported to Mumbai...That is if you like curry...The only thing that trumps a good RARE roast beef sandwich for me is a Lobster Roll on the East End....Lots of MAYO and it has to be Hellmans !!

Oh yes...I forgot about Schmalz.....The Roast Beef sandwich....The bread should be spread with Schmalz....If I ask for that in California they call security...I make my own instead....Rendered chicken fat stored in a small container and kept in the fridge...Boo Yah !!

My favorite sandwich ever I used to make myself when I worked at a 24 hour deli back in college. They had these awesome thick, tender chicken cutlets. I would put two hot cutlets on a hero with extra mayonnaise, shredded lettuce and thinly sliced tomatoes. Would be luck to finish half of it these days, but back then I could polish one off at the end of a night gleefully.
