Between the Bread

When Andrew and I were planning our wedding, almost everyone asked immediately, "Will there be sandwiches?" My answer: how could there not be? While I have a sandwich blog, Andrew is nearly as obsessed as I am, and our romance blossomed over a shared passion for sandwiches.

Our reception at Cafe Du Nord featured three kinds of mini sandwiches: turkey meatball (above), pulled pork with spicy slaw (below), and a veggie option with fresh mozzarella. Of course, I sheepishly requested some photos of them. The platters don't really do them justice, but they were pretty darn good, though not quite as transcendent as the mini corn dogs.

Sometimes when making a big decision, you need an assist from friends. Thus, it was serendipitous the other day when, as I was mulling Cafe Du Nord as the site of an upcoming event, Phil proclaimed, "their pulled pork sandwiches are great!" Two days later, he snapped a photo for me. Cafe Du Nord, the music venue and former speakeasy, recently opened an actual cafe next door to the club, open during daytime hours and serving sammies and such. That's where Phil had the pulled pork, which does look impressive, as do the sweet potato fries.
