A Sandwich a Day: The Golden Gate at Back Yard Kitchen in San Francisco
Back Yard Kitchen is a tiny sandwich shop that makes solid sandwiches in the San Francisco style. In other words, they're veggie-laden with killer locally-sourced meats and everything's available on Dutch Crunch. The Golden Gate ($7.50) is a grilled chicken sandwich with gruyere and guacamole. The so-called "guacamole" is actually just avocado that's so ripe it's scooped out of the shell and spread on the roll like butter. The gruyere is melted over the chicken before it's added to the sandwich, which preserves the crispness of the romaine, onions, and tomatoes.Sandwich a Day: Chicken No.2 at Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store in San Francisco
Mario's Bohemian Cigar Store doesn't sell cigars but they do sell some very tasty sandwiches. Of particular note are their hot focaccia sandwiches, which beat other grilled panini because they're heated in a pizza oven. The result is two thin, chewy pieces of onion focaccia with that same delicious char you'd find on a pizza crust.A Sandwich a Day: Chicken Cutlet Hoagie from Taylor Gourmet in Washington, D.C.
Taylor Gourmet has two locations in D.C. (in the "Atlas District" neighborhood and near the convention center), but reading the menu, you'd think you were in Philly. Owners Casey Patten and David Mazza are Philly natives, and actually get the crusty hoagie rolls delivered daily from Sarcone's, a fifth-generation bakery in Philly. The Oregon Avenue includes a heaping salad's worth of dressed arugula on a pounded-thin chicken cutlet with a crisp fried coating made of leftover hoagie crumbs.A Sandwich a Day: Chowpatty Chicken at Juhu Beach Club in San Francisco
Preeti Mistry is known in the Bay Area for being the former executive chef at Google, and for representing us in season six of Top Chef. She's currently serving lunch at a pop-up in the SoMa neighborhood of San Francisco, which features a short, interesting menu of Indian fusion sandwiches and other dishes. The Chowpatty Chicken sandwich is spicy from green chutney, and contains a delicious tumeric slaw, a nice contrast to the charred chicken.A Sandwich a Day: Misto at Douce France in Palo Alto, CA
While all of the slim pressed sandwiches at French cafe Douce France are worth a try, my favorite has always been the Misto ($7.50): a thin cut of chicken breast marinated in lemon and herbs, on light, crunchy pressed bread, with mushrooms, greens, sun-dried tomatoes, and an extra spread of lemon-herb marinade.The Best Fast-Food Fried Chicken Sandwich?
In the fast food world, fried chicken sandwiches are the new black. Just about every chain, whether a burger chain or fried chicken establishment, offers multiple versions. But which are the best? We tried the standard fried chicken sandwiches, whether chicken patty-like or chicken fillet-like, from KFC, Popeye's, McDonald's, Chick-fil-A, Wendy's, and Burger King. During the tasting, one thing became very clear: not all chicken is created equal.A Sandwich a Day: California Pollo Panini, Cafe Borrone, Menlo Park, California
During high school, when I visited Cafe Borrone in Northern California's Menlo Park about eight times a week, we called this the "Mother of Guacamole Sandwich." They call it the California Pollo Panini ($9.50). It's not on Borrone's standard menu, but has appeared on the specials board a few times a week for at least a decade.Wendy's Spicy Asiago Ranch Chicken Club: Long Name, Small Changes
New fast food products seem to appear at an astonishing rate these days, but some changes are bigger than others. Like last week's Chipotle BBQ Bacon Angus Burger at McDonald's, Wendy's Asiago Ranch Chicken Sandwich is a spin on existing menu items. Because I'm such a fan of the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, I was excited about the new Asiago—which comes in Grilled, Homestyle, and Spicy Varieties.McDonald's Says Eat More Chicken For Breakfast
McDonald's Southern-style chicken biscuit tastes like an oversized McNugget in a buttery, greasy biscuit that you've had so many times before. It's too late to snag a free Southern-style chicken biscuit from McDonald's—the breakfast promotion lasted today between 7 a.m and 10:30 a.m—but if you missed out, don't worry; it wasn't totally free. As we mentioned before, there was a medium or large drink caveat, so the "freebie" cashed in at a minimum of $1.50. Overall, it wasn't the most mind-blowing experience since McDonald's already sells biscuits and chicken McNuggets, and together, they approximate this same taste concept. But borderline mind-blowing is that you can eat fried chicken for breakfast without hauling to a less-accessible Chick-fil-A or sneaking in last...Hot Topics: Technique of the Week | The Food Lab
