Between the Bread

Loyal reader Angelica recently sampled a new veggie sandwich at Specialty's and was so overwhelmed by its sheer girth, she had to snap a photo. Her comment: are they trying to kill me?! Apparently so, with cucumber.

But seriously, this looks like a hearty and healthy two-hander, and it's even more colorful than the chain's turkey with cranberry. It could certainly give the veginator a run for its money.

To many people, Thanksgiving is the most exciting meal of the year. For me, it's the sandwich I make the Friday after Thanksgiving (or late that Thursday night, depending on how drunk and hungry I get). On their own, turkey, cranberry sauce, and stuffing are good; between bread (preferably a soft wheat) they are transcendent.

So on the rare work days when I don't bring my own turkey sandwich from home, I slip out to my local Specialty's for a turkey sandwich. Their sandwiches are pretty good, not like amazing or anything, but they have this one version that piles on the cranberry sauce, a sort of jellied spread with bits of cranberries mixed it. On the deli's fresh multigrain bread, it's a great holdover until Thanksgiving.
