A good sandwich can't fix everything, but it certainly helps. Recently, during a tough day at the office, I decided to ditch my lunch from home and treat myself. Glancing at the menu for The Golden West, the warm mushroom sandwich with pine nuts and goat cheese called out to me. The home-baked bread alone would be the perfect comfort food.
Garnished with basil, this shroom sammie is similar to the last sandwich I had at Golden West, but better. It's on the menu this week, too, if you want to taste it for yourself. Oddly, last time I sought out a mood-lifting sandwich, it also featured mushrooms. Just a coincidence, I swear.
We're about to set off on our honeymoon, but we had a day off in the city before our flight. To me, this equals an opportunity to eat a sandwich somewhere I can't normally go on weekdays. So today, I hit up Naked Lunch in North Beach, then realized that the name was a fitting prelude to a honeymoon. Click through to see what I ate.
My mom is quite the jetsetter lately, most recently in New York City for the holiday season. At the seemingly unassuming Nice Matin, she had what looks to be an outstanding grilled-bread sandwich with roasted eggplant and goat cheese.
I love how it's positioned on the plate alongside the side salad of arugula, tomatoes, olives, and fennel with a citrus vinaigrette. Also, she notes, "in the background, butter WITH olive oil." Wow.

I love exploring the preprepared food universe at Trader Joe's, and I've been hankering for a good meatloaf sandwich. I never liked meatloaf as a kid. Actually, I don't think many people did, which is ironic considering its reputation as a family favorite.
But now, I'm strangely drawn to it, especially on sandwiches. This Italian turkey meatloaf was slathered in red sauce and full of seasonings. Delicious on its own, but even better in a sandwich with soft goat cheese and greens on some thickly sliced Acme bread.

After enjoying my fair share of sandwiches at 'Wichcraft, I finally whipped up one of the recipes from the 'Wichcraft cookbook. Inspired by a salad popular in Sisha Ortuzar's native Chile, this celery, avocado, and goat cheese concoction looked easy, summery, and delicious. Plus, I was intrigued by the use of celery in a sandwich.
