I don’t necessarily mean specific recipes, I mean concepts. A western sandwich is bread, (vegan) meat or cheese, sauce, tomato, something pickled, some salad, mostly, all layered and/or thinly sliced. Cross out maybe some of them for simplicity, like the mayo tomato or the british cheese and cucumber.
A döner kebap is sort of layered but everything but the protein layer is more of a mix up and not like tomato followed by onion or whatever.
A Banh Mi is sort of western of course, but it does a twist. The layers are there-ish, but they don’t matter so much. Sort of a hybrid between something like a kebap and a pita if you catch my drift.
What other sandwiches are there, conceptually?
You get it
If I had my own restaurant somehow it would be almost entirely sandwich focused. Soup of the day, a few salads and maybe house made potato chips or wedges or something but the main thing would be the best fucking sandwiches ever. I’m at a point I could run a successful place but also don’t wanna
Funny, my win the lottery restaurant is the stew kitchen that also serves sandwiches. Stew is like $2 a ladle, sandwich is $20 on account of the artisanal craft. Except if I think you look cool in which case you just get the sandwich
I’ve got a few really really good soups thst I csn rotate but it’s not something I’m as good at. I do amazing tomato basil, roasted red pepper, ‘cream’ of mushroom, Moroccan stew, potato paprika and I am in fact the pope of chilli town. Other than my mains I’m not great at soup
