A chicken, pesto, and sundried tomato panini with provolone cheese at Cafe Divis. The perfect fuel for my Spanish homework.
'Wich Trip: Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store Cafe
December 1, 2011 7:24 am · Posted by nancyeinhart
I have long been drawn to Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store Cafe for the name alone. It can't beat Taco's Sandwiches (in name or in taste), but Mario's makes up for it with old-world coziness. I finally made it to Mario's for the famed focaccia sandwiches and panini, so get a taste and take a 'wich trip.

I've eaten a lot of sandwiches this year — no surprise there — and while I'll always get excited about my at-home creations and standout work sammies, I'd like to take this moment to recognize all of the other hard-working sandwich makers out there. As the year comes to a close, here are the top 10 sandwiches I've eaten out and about in 2010.

Sandwich Share: Gouda Ol' Turkey Panini
May 29, 2010 1:38 pm · Posted by nancyeinhart
Sandwiches don't need to be iconic to be yummy. At Temptations in Wilmington, NC, my mom enjoyed this turkey panini, expertly pressed wth gouda cheese, spinach, artichoke, and aioli. Plus a side of fruit for a well-balanced lunch.

'Wich of the Week: Fruit and Nut Panini
I'm finally paying my respects to National Panini Month. After being disappointed by The Sentinel's pork and fig sandwich that didn't actually contain figs, I pressed together a panino before fig season bids its sad farewell. When I came up with the "fruit and nut" idea, I thought: this could be terrible. But this panino turned out to be one of my favorite creations ever.
August Is National Panini Month

August is panini season, at least according to Sargento Cheese. I'll buy that, since I love me some panini. The Italian pressed sandwiches are pretty much ubiquitous at this point, as are panini makers. But you don't need a fancy machine to make them. I like to cook mine in the oven, pressing the sandwiches down with a heated cast-iron skillet. Works just as well.
Next week I think I'll celebrate by commandeering the panini press at my office. I am also partial to the appropriately named Panini in the Upper Haight, where they serve a delicious avocado and spinach panino with pepperjack cheese. You wouldn't think that warm avocado would be a good idea, but it's actually quite delicious. Got some good panini ideas? Share 'em below.

'Wich of the Week: Cilantro Chicken Panini
I love the simplicity of the classic margherita pizza and used that as inspiration for this panino. The pesto — made from cilantro instead of the standard basil — combines perfectly with fresh tomato and grilled chicken. Instead of using a mild cheese like mozzarella, I subbed in saltier provolone, because it complements the cool flavor of the cilantro.
