I can't think of what fast food chain it is (something we don't have here locally)...but they call something a "chicken" burger that is really a fried chicken cutlet sandwich...
For it to be a burger, does the filling have to be ground or at least cut small and held together with a binder (thinking of a tofu burger here I guess)?
I say yes.
If you tell me a bit more about what styles of wine you tend to enjoy, I'd be more than happy to put together a list of "must stop" places for you.
You can always look at my blog as well, which focuses predominantly on LI wines: www.lenndevours.com
You might want to sneak off of Main Road and get up to Route 48 too though...some great wine up there too.
For many wines, particularly those that are meant to be consumed while fresh and racy, screwcaps make perfect sense.
I think that sometimes people who shun them are more worried about how it will make them look in the eyes of "wine experts" than they are the taste of the wine. They don't want to be seen buying or serving screwcap wines.
Silly really...but something that the wine industry (or at least media) has created. hopefully it will lessen as time goes on.
Great comic post -- as always. And very daring eating tartare from a takeout joint!
If you guys haven't tried many Southampton brews...you should explore a bit. The IPO is good, but their Secret Ale and Saison are also pretty damn good.
What!? This is so right/wrong -- I love it. Kudos to this sandy innovator. And you are 100% correct. A patty melt is a sandwich; a waffle sandwich is a sandwich; a burger is something else.
By the way, as much as I enjoy sandwiches, waffles are best enjoyed in taco form. Toast some eggos, add syrup and fold. They go well with other "w" foods, such as white wine.
I agree on the ground meat equating a burger consensus, as well as two slices of baked goods holding together ingredients equating a sandwhich.
I vote with you Karen, 'waff-which' is fun to say! :D
Actually the best thing about waffle sandwiches is the fact that they offer one the opportunity to say "Leggo my Eggo" not only at breakfast-time but at lunch-time too.
I vote we call them waff-wiches. It sounds better than sand-waffs.
I worked with a fellow who brought waffle sandwiches everyday for lunch. Never bread. He toasted up two Eggo buttermilk waffles, and mad a sandwich with them... PB&J, bologna, ham and cheese, tuna salad...didn't matter - just on waffles. He even used the typical condiments - mayo, mustard depending on the fill.
Actualy near me in Rockville MD there is a guy crazy for waffles: www.mosaiccuisine.com and I think you could get something close...
I just wanted to add that waffles make great open face sandwich bases, the gravy and mashed potatoes fill in the waffle crevices in a lovely manner.
And I wanted to point out this lovely pancake +pesto + spam sandwich I made one day with leftover pancakes.
last season of top chef, the episode when they were cooking for athletes. someone made a waffle sandwich, didn't they? it was like waffle, eggs, beans, and ham? i can't remember, but i remember it was one of the top recipes that episode.
Oh yes, the waffle sandwich can be a sandwich.
As they are, here:
The ones he made for her were spun through delicately with brilliant happy sparks like shooting stars, circling through the night air around her. Thick heart-shaped bittersweet double-chocolate waffles topped with crunchy caramelized bananas. . . orange-almond-cumin waffles ladled with rich heady creamy curried quail. . . oh! She loved his lemon thyme waffles so luxurious, fresh lobster claws holding hands on top, dotted with emerald and ruby-like aromatics in sparkling pink vodka sauce. . . or the seven-grain waffle sandwich stuffed with Greek salad drizzled with biting tahini sauce. There! A dreamy rosewater–peach waffle went dancing right past her, twirling in the air with divine insouciance, two round smiling matched curves of strawberry sorbet and lemon gelato glistening on top, shimmering by in the night. So much waffle-y bliss! Mrs. Waffle slid further into dreamland with a sigh, dove deeply into dreamland, smiling in her sleep, and as she moved just a hint of a touch closer to Mr. W, she felt a spark. Just like water hitting the hot metal of waffle iron. She edged closer, ready.
Open-faced or not. Sandwiches. Waffles. Absolutely. :)
Foodette- What about the "open faced sandwich"? You can't pick that up with your hands...
My favorite breadstuff to have a burger on is an everything bagel...
I think that if you consider a piece of meat/cheese between two slices of croissant a sandwich, then you can consider the same between two waffles a sandwich. Both are breakfast pastry-like, right?
Also, I am trying a pb&j on waffles ASAP.
