S1E23: Sandwich Talk

A sandwich sounds simple until you try to define it out loud. We start with the big question people love to fight over what counts as a sandwich and what absolutely does not, and we set some ground rules before the hot dog discourse eats the whole show. From there, we get into the kind of comfort food opinions that reveal way too much about a person, including why some “categories” deserve their own lane. 

Then we run through our personal favorites with full commitment to the details: grilled cheese done in a buttery pan with the right melt, the Italian sub that has to be built for a perfect bite, and the Cuban sandwich that is either life-changing or a hard no depending on your pickle and pork tolerance. We also dig into the bodega-style bacon, egg, and cheese order that comes with its own code, plus underrated staples like chicken bacon ranch and the legendary shrimp po boy we still think about. 

After that, we turn it into a head-to-head sandwich bracket, where spicy chicken makes a deep run and we end up debating steak and cheese vs a real Philly cheesesteak, including what “with whiz” actually means and why the best spots are never the tourist ones. We wrap with diner turkey club love, fries opinions, and a tease for a future potato-focused episode.

SPEAKER_01 0:41

That's just that's my fallback when I don't got nothing, just say the things. Anywho, now that we wasted all of your time, welcome back to another riveting episode of the Silly Goose Society, where I almost in my head just said the Black Curtain Club. Oh, see? I did it. I in my head, every time I go to do it, it just fucking I almost say the uh the silly goose club. I've almost said that. I've said that in my head about every time I say silly goose society when I go to do my intros. Every time I say the silly goose club.

SPEAKER_03 1:15

Yeah. It's uh it's yeah, it's just it's that maybe maybe a year from now, I won't even be thinking about it.

SPEAKER_01 1:24

No, so you say that, but a year from now you won't be thinking about it and everything will be fine, but then like four years from now, you're just gonna go to do an intro and you're gonna say it. And you're gonna call it the Black Curtain Club. I'm telling you, you're gonna do it. I hadn't worked at Journeys. I said no tangents. Here we are, going with a tangent. I worked at Journeys for however many years. I hadn't worked for them. I was saying it's like four or five years. It's the one of the last times I answered the phone at any time. Not but less than a year ago, I haven't worked for Journeys in this entire state. We're talking six, seven years now, and I answered the phone, Journeys in Milford, how can I help you? At anytime fitness in Portage, Michigan.

SPEAKER_03 2:04

Yeah, it's like you get you get institutionalized.

SPEAKER_01 2:07

It just I haven't thought I I don't even think I've been in a journeys in four or five years.

SPEAKER_03 2:12

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:12

Anywho, buddy, what's your favorite color? Anywho, now that we've rambled too much, and we're probably not gonna cut any of this out.

One-Year Podcast Anniversary Reflections

SPEAKER_03 2:20

What's the word reason? I think I think with the the black curtain club, it's Stockholm Syndrome. So you have the beast. Oh, yeah. Um, also, hey, happy one year pod diversary to you. Pod diversary?

SPEAKER_01 2:42

That sounds absolutely horrible.

SPEAKER_03 2:43

It does, it does sound horrible, but like I I think it's cheesy to say, oh, happy anniversary. But you've been we you have been part of uh a podcast now for a year. It's been a little longer for me, but for you, it's been solidly one year. You became an official member.

SPEAKER_01 3:03

I'm t I'm telling you, if 18 months ago you told me I'd be on a podcast doing a podcast, after I slapped you in the face, I'd slap you again and I'd laugh. I'm telling you. I just I don't know, man. I don't know. I think see, I think it's weird. It is because of like I hate podcasts, I just don't like them.

SPEAKER_03 3:23

Yeah, I mean, it's uh yeah, it's it's just a it's a very surreal kind of thing because like I I am definitely not the person no one that I've ever met in the whole course of my life would ever think, oh, this girl would do a podcast. She, you know, whatever. Never, never in a million years would anyone ever think that because I'm like very in in like real life, I'm very introverted. And uh, like so the last thing, like you're actually talking on a on a podcast, like that's you, the girl who doesn't say anything and stands in the corner at like parties and doesn't get in the mix. Yeah. Yeah. So here we are.

SPEAKER_01 4:12

I think it's a little bit different because you are, you know, spoiler alert to everybody, we're not in some fancy pants high-tech studio. We are literally just in, we're I don't even know if we're dressed right now. But we're in the comforts of our own home. So I think it's easier that way. If it was one, I think if it was being, if it was video recording, it'd be a little bit different. And two, if it was like a talk show, you know, this isn't like this isn't like the Mori Povich show. This is like Google Code, it's not TV.

SPEAKER_03 4:38

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:38

So there's not people like that.

SPEAKER_03 4:40

I think it I think it helps that you're gonna sound that you're doing it with somebody else. Giddy. Usually it does feel better. It does feel better. Um, but like I don't think I would be the person to have like a podcast where it's just me talking into a mic for an hour about something. I uh I mean I probably could, but but the fact that you're you're kind of like, you know, you're you're doing it with a friend and you know, there's somebody else there to kind of banner back and forth. I think I think that's part of why it works too for me.

SPEAKER_01 5:20

Yeah, and because like also contrary to popular belief, what the what our lovely listeners think or whatnot, whatever the hell. So um, we actually kind of enjoy each other. Yeah. So it's just us just it's just us being us. We just happen to be recording it and giving it to the masses. It's just like Right. Like people literally are like not stressed enough how much this is literally just us being us. Like this is not any type of a shtick.

SPEAKER_03 5:48

It is actually like literally you're eavesdropping on conversations that like we have all the time. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 5:57

Yeah. Like yeah, yeah, like it there's no way because it's like, oh, there's topics, we're gonna do this, we're gonna do that. Our topic is us, if you think about it, like down to its core, it's just whatever the fuck we want, because that's hell yeah.

SPEAKER_03 6:11

Yeah, and it's like you were telling the time pals last week. Like, I if you guys knew how many times that we were like the night before, or even like uh The morning of. The morning of. Like, what are we talking about? And you're just like, I don't know, let's just hit record. You know, it just it just happens.

SPEAKER_01 6:33

I think the first time I brought that up, back when it was the Black Curtain Club, I thought that was I I look back and I think it was kind of funny because I was just like, why would why wouldn't we? But the two of you were like, uh, but do you think should we? At least that's from what I remember, you both were kind of like, do you do you think maybe could that work? I was like, literally, yeah, it could. Because like just do it. Cause it's kind of already what it is.

SPEAKER_03 6:58

Yeah, because like so we were we were very, like, very much into okay, this episode is gonna be about this specific subject, and we're gonna do like all the research, and we're gonna have like scripts written, and we're gonna, you know, like review scripts to make sure like it's factual and check sort, like we were doing like the whole thing. Which is good, which is good.

SPEAKER_01 7:25

You should be talking about it if it's like an actually talking about something that actually happened or whatever event, not like mythology or things like that. When if you're talking about like, oh, an actual haunting, you should try to get as much facts as you can.

SPEAKER_03 7:37

Yeah, exactly. And so I think like that was the path that we were going. So yeah, you threw us a loop, but it worked. And then here we are.

SPEAKER_01 7:47

Exactly. Here we are, just the two of us now. When I was a afterthought of an afterthought.

SPEAKER_03 7:53

Afterthought of an afterthought.

SPEAKER_00 7:55

Exactly.

What Actually Counts As A Sandwich

SPEAKER_03 7:57

See, you are a thought. Any hubilation. What are we even doing today? We're doing we're doing sandwiches. Sammies!

SPEAKER_01 8:11

That was so stupid of me to do. I just threw this bullshit cut paper everywhere. My daughter's obsessed with a pair of scissors. She wants to cut it, so she's just literally just scraps of paper all in front of me. I just slapped my notebook down twice and I just sent it. What the fuck, man?

SPEAKER_03 8:28

Oh yeah, wait till she cuts her hair.

SPEAKER_01 8:31

Shut your goddamn mouth. Because my niece did that. She gave her listen, here's how bad her hair was. Even Courtney Cox from Scream was like, damn, what the fuck happened to your hair girl? That's how bad them bangs was.

SPEAKER_03 8:40

Oh god. That's how bad them bangs was.

SPEAKER_01 8:43

Yeah, that's bad. Charlie. Anywho.

SPEAKER_03 8:47

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:47

Sam, we've been on a very weird food kick.

SPEAKER_03 8:51

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:51

I just feel like we've had quite a few bits we've been talking about food, which I'm fine with. I don't know about y'all, but I kind of love it. Yeah, I'm not mad about it. Near and dear dishes, if you will. A sandwich. I fucking love I fucking love me a good sandwich. I don't mind me a bad sandwich, to be honest.

SPEAKER_03 9:13

So are we gonna are we gonna define what a sandwich is? Because, you know, I I If we ask one of my beloved friends. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:25

Robert John Brian Matt. I swear to God, that's he's got dude's got four first names for a full name. I think it's Robert. Robert John Brian or Brian. It doesn't matter. His name is Rob Matt. I swear to God. My most interesting friend. Uh he defies a sandwich as everything. Everything is a sandwich. And his logic is complete horseshit, but it is the funniest conversation you'll have. I was like, I'm a sandwich? Yes, you're a sandwich. You're a sandwich between the ground and gravity pushing down on you. You're a sandwich between them. You are a sandwich. And I'm like, Jesus Christ.

SPEAKER_03 10:04

Oh my god.

SPEAKER_01 10:07

He's my most adorable friend. I've uh God, I love him. You think I'm a silly goose? I am nothing. He is the god of Siri Goose's goosem, gooseology, whatever it is. He is the coup d'etat of a silly goose.

SPEAKER_03 10:24

So, like, okay, are we gonna say, like, can can a can a rap be a sandwich? Is a hot dog a sandwich? I am not Are we going to go down that?

SPEAKER_01 10:36

We're we're not we're not We're not going down that hot topic then let's put it this way. I don't have the hot dog on here because a hot dog. Because I agree with 50 Cent. When he was asked on Colbert, is a hot dog a hot dog, is a hot dog a sandwich? He said, no, why not? Because it's a hot dog.

SPEAKER_03 10:52

It's a hot dog. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 10:53

Perfect. Hot dog's not a sandwich. It is a hot dog.

SPEAKER_03 10:55

Like a taco is taco, a burrito is a burrito.

SPEAKER_01 10:58

Burrito. Exactly. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 10:59

Rap is a wrap.

SPEAKER_01 11:00

He goes, I'm sorry, but these things, yeah, we're not getting into the the fucking thing.

SPEAKER_03 11:04

We're talking like some sort of bread, like with stuff in between the bread.

SPEAKER_01 11:11

Yeah, some form of yeah, some form of that could be labeled as bread with stuff that's in between them. Because honestly, if you honestly, if you took like two raps, like I would consider a quesadilla a sandwich.

SPEAKER_03 11:22

Okay. Yeah. I would consider that because it's like two pieces, sandwiches.

SPEAKER_01 11:26

It's two pieces of something, yeah, exactly. For me personally, I think that's how I qualify a sandwich. Now, me personally, when it comes to like a sub, like an Italian or something like that, or like a meatball, do not cut my sub all the way through. There has to be cut the, it has to be kind of held together, but I'm still considering that a sandwich. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 11:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:46

Because you take the bite and it just like the meatballs and it just out the no.

SPEAKER_03 11:49

Oh, you mean long ways? I was saying, okay, that I have to do it.

SPEAKER_01 11:52

Yeah, they cut a long ways, completely through long ways.

SPEAKER_03 11:55

Do not cut my meatball like those kind of sandwiches. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 11:59

Other sandwiches, yes, please cut all the way through. Yes. But not those. There's some sandwiches, yes, and so it's ridiculous to people to get into the fucking debates. And yeah, like what kind of a standard. I think each of these sandwiches, they kind of have their rule of thumb toppings if they come with toppings. So I'm just gonna go off of that. What a standard, you know, topping to a sandwich would be.

SPEAKER_03 12:28

Yeah, okay, cool.

SPEAKER_01 12:29

If you would go there. Oh, this with everything? Yes. Like if you go if you go to someplace you get a burger with everything, usually that's like um lettuce, tomato, onion, and some like ketchup or mustard or both or whatever it is. It's usually those. So like a cheeseburger, think of that. Yeah. Sound good? So do you want to start with our favorites, or do you want uh you want me to start hitting you with them and then you choose which is good out of the list of too many sandwiches?

SPEAKER_03 12:55

Uh I think we ought to go through our top fives, and then we'll go the round back and forth. You can hit me, hit me with sandwiches.

SPEAKER_01 13:06

Sign me up for that.

unknown 13:07

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 13:08

You know, like the you know the meme with the girl with the hot dogs hitting. Sandwiches. Sandwiches, yeah.

Top Favorites Start With Grilled Cheese

SPEAKER_01 13:16

33 different sandwiches, just all that just oh, that's just okay. Anywho, you start. We'll go one, we'll go one for one of top fives.

SPEAKER_03 13:24

Okay, yeah. So are we working five like our fifth from the top or top from the bottom?

SPEAKER_01 13:33

Okay, here's where I'm a pain in the ass. These are just my five favorite sandwiches. There is no specific ranking. There's no because sometimes I want this one over that one. Sometimes I'm out of place, and I can sometimes I've been to a place and they have all of these options, and I can't fucking choose. So we're just going your five favorites, no specific order.

SPEAKER_03 13:51

Okay, perfect. Because I was like, I'm gonna have to re-reorder these.

SPEAKER_01 13:55

That's way too much thinking. That's way too much thinking for me.

SPEAKER_03 13:58

So I'm gonna go out of the gate with like the the the most uh what do you say, like the most obvious thing that there is on the face of this fucking planet is a grilled cheese. I fucking live for grilled cheese.

SPEAKER_01 14:20

This bitch spitting. Grilled cheese. Grilled cheese is one of my top fives, also.

SPEAKER_03 14:24

And I'm very like, okay, uh, you know, like we've all been like, you know, uh you can make grilled cheeses a million different ways. You can put them in the oven, you can, but like when I'm saying grilled cheese, I mean like you got the butter in the pan, and you're, you know, like it's buttery and gooey in the middle and crispy on the outside. Like, yeah, don't give me that mayonnaise stuff. Like no, you've never done it with mayonnaise? I have, and I don't really like it. I like that buttery taste, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 15:01

Oh, yeah, no, for sure. 100%. So I would that's that was gonna be actually my question. Because, like I said, because there is a million ways to make the grilled cheese and however it goes. What is your like quick spark note how you make the grilled cheese?

SPEAKER_03 15:16

So usually what I this is how I do it. Okay, hot pan, put in butter, put a piece of bread on the butter, let it kind of like soak it in, get it, then I layer my cheese and then I kind of let that melt a little bit and you know, uh put the lid on, let the kind of just go around through the other piece of bread. Um, sometimes if if like my butter is soft enough, I'll go ahead and butter that side. Um, or when I go to flip it, another butter and you know, let it melt in the pan, get all like okay.

SPEAKER_01 15:58

So you go butter in the you go butter in the pan route, got it. Yeah, and I butter the bread.

SPEAKER_03 16:03

I've done it both ways, but giggity. Yeah, the key is like butter. It ha I like I need the butter. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:11

Yeah, there it does. Nah, see, because yeah, what a with the with the mayo route, I feel it's very because I've I've noticed, at least with, you know, if you're using Hellman's actual fucking mayo, none of that miracle whip bullshit.

SPEAKER_03 16:23

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_01 16:24

Like actual mayo. It's just it there is a different you get a different flavor as well. People say it's crispier, it's fine. It's like honestly, you just use the right butter in order to make a fucking grilled cheese, you can get this shit just as crispy and whatnot. Just there's a different flavor. So I feel the the mayo doesn't exactly work with all cheeses. Some is going to taste a little bit different than some.

SPEAKER_03 16:40

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:41

Um and the I think the only reason why I have I have um what is it by association knowledge of grilled cheese and cheeses and so on and so forth, because um one of my beloved's my my beloved's dream of what she wants to do. She wants a food truck. She wants a grilled cheese food truck.

SPEAKER_03 16:56

Oh, we have one of those. The cheese melts.

SPEAKER_01 16:59

She wants it, yeah. She wants it. She wants a gourmet.

SPEAKER_03 17:02

Yeah, that's what these are. They yeah, it's grill gourmet grilled cheeses. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:07

I won't I won't go away giving away some of her some of her little secrets. What are her little recipes? She has this I miss it so much. It was it was adorable. I miss it. Anywho, she has a little notebook where she'd scratch on all of her ideas, and then during lockdown, once a week, she would she would make dinner and she would make one of the grilled cheeses from the book to kind of do the trial and error thing.

SPEAKER_03 17:24

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:24

Man, she had a couple on them. Girl.

SPEAKER_03 17:29

I will say though, I I mean, I like the gourmet grilled cheese. I'm never gonna turn down a grilled cheese in any way, but I really just like the traditional um cheddar or American cheese, American, you know.

SPEAKER_01 17:45

Can't beat a classic. You give me let's go two slice, okay. Let's go two slice American, one slice of a really fucking sharp cheddar. I mean, literally, we'll cut your tongue sharp. One slice of really sharp cheddar, two slices of American on sourdough, tomato soup, Robert's your father's brother.

SPEAKER_03 18:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 18:03

Robert's your father's fucking brother.

SPEAKER_03 18:05

And I there is no other sandwich that is proper with uh tomato soup. Any soup. Yeah, like it it's a grilled cheese. Grilled cheese and tomato soup. It it you just have to, and you have to take like the grilled cheese and dip it in the tomato soup.

SPEAKER_01 18:25

Like it's yeah, you spent way too much time on just one. We have formeries here. Okay, so you'll go again because like I said, I also have the grilled cheese, so that's a wash.

SPEAKER_03 18:34

Okay. Oh, so I go again?

Italian Subs And Perfect Bite Rules

SPEAKER_01 18:36

Yeah, just name another one, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 18:37

Okay, so I have an Italian sub, but I'm very specific about my Italian sub. I do for two. Okay, so you you you have to cut up, like shred the lettuce, and you get like, you know, your peppers or your banana peppers, your green peppers, whatever you're doing, your onions, all of that. And I like them like soaked and kind of like marinated a little bit in like the the dressing, the like the Italian dressing. Yeah, and then you layer on all of your your meats, and then you put that put that marinated stuff on top of that. Because like I feel like that way, every bite you're getting all of it, you know.

SPEAKER_01 19:24

Like every bite's the perfect bite. You're getting every flavor. You're not oh no, the tomatoes ran away to the other side of the sandwich or fell out of the yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right. It has to be the shredded lettuce. You cannot put slices of lettuce, it's got to be the sus-stringy kind of has to be.

SPEAKER_03 19:40

Yeah.

unknown 19:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:42

Yeah, no, yeah, kind of the same. I've seen the ones where they actually mix all that stuff onto. So they'll put the meat on, the meat and the cheese on. And then I've actually seen where a lot of people will put the lettuce, whatever the mayo, you know, whatever the the the the dressing needs to be, whether it's the with like what is it? Mayo, oil, vinegar, all that kind of function. They'll took all that shit, they'll put it all together, they'll mix it and like chop it all up as like a like a it looks like it wants to be coleslaw, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_03 20:06

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:07

And then you just put that on it. I'm fine with that two thing. Everything's just kind of mixed and coagulated as one. I just I I love me a fucking Italian combo, man. That's another that's another one on my list, too.

SPEAKER_03 20:16

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:16

So I'll just I'll just name one after that one because I'm gonna go to the case. Yeah, yeah, you go. But yeah, I know. Good, oh man, good.

Kind of like a pulled pork, like a Spanish pulled pork. Um, what you call it, that ham slices of ham cooked up on that one. You got Swiss cheese. There's uh bread and butter pickles. I believe it's pretty sure it's bread and butter pickles. Some type of a slightly sweet pickle. Um yellow mustard, and then you put it on the uh, I think it's plant-up bread, like the Cuban bread, French bread, just sub bread, right? Yeah, and you smear that mother son of a bitch with butter, and you put it on like a panini press, and you fucking you you squeeze and you toast that motherfucker. Oh, for the love of God.

I can't stand in any way, shape, or form a bread and butter pickle.

SPEAKER_01 23:30

Ugh. Oh, me too. I swear to God, if you guys, but I'm talking it only works there because there's so much of like the citrus and the savory that such slight sweetness. Oh, oh my god, it's so good. Because it is the most subtle of the because it's just so much on it.

SPEAKER_03 23:50

Bacon Buddy And Bodega Breakfast Code

SPEAKER_03 25:30

SPEAKER_03 25:56

Like just bacon and mustard.

SPEAKER_01 25:58

To my knowledge, don't get me, don't, don't go quote me on this one. I'm pretty sure some of our we have our couple of friends from the UK. I'm pretty sure that's that's a bacon buddy.

SPEAKER_03 26:07

Oh, I have no idea what it's called. It's just called frying up bacon and slapping it on some light bread and slathering it with mustard.

SPEAKER_01 26:18

I mean, fuck fuck me up, dude. God's probably just uh bacon bread. Yeah, it's literally just bacon on bread with butter and other condiments. Yeah.

unknown 26:36

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 26:37

Oh, I don't want any other.

SPEAKER_01 26:40

No one else is or any condiments. It says it says bacon, bread, and a or and a condiment. It does not specifically say which one. It goes, popular ones are ketchup or brown sauce or butter or yellow mustard.

unknown 26:54

Okay.

SPEAKER_00 26:58

Yeah, no. What is it's just making? Come on, man.

SPEAKER_03 27:01

Fuck no, it's a good thing. It just on a side tangent there. I am so curious about this British brown sauce.

SPEAKER_01 27:10

Just we're not talking about it because I don't trust the Brits.

SPEAKER_03 27:14

I d like you can pull that idea, but it will order it on Amazon, but I feel like it's gonna be that time where I got duped into trying Vegemite. And I feel like it's just gonna be a bad experience. But like every Brit that I know talks about, I mean, maybe it's just like that's what you grew up with, and you don't know any better that that's not good.

SPEAKER_01 27:38

I loved that meme I saw one time where someone was just like, uh, yeah. He goes, like, America could never proper British, proper food is the way it goes. And then they just posted a picture, and the first comment someone did it goes, my dude, the blitz is over. They stopped dropping bombs. You can buy real food again.

SPEAKER_04 27:56

The blitz is over bombs.

SPEAKER_03 27:59

You don't have to have beans on toast anymore. Laughs at two.

SPEAKER_01 28:04

I wanted to ask Chris, but I didn't have the balls to ask him. Because it was like I swear to I saw the meme like 10 minutes before we recorded with him.

SPEAKER_03 28:14

Oh man, we take a piss. We take a piss at what the what he eats all the time.

SPEAKER_01 28:19

Oh, as you should. Because which is so funny. But anyhow, um someone was just like, name a better combo. I'll wait. And it was like fries, shitty melted cheese. Oh no, no, it was fries, cheese, um, I think there were cheese on it, but it was like fries and olives and like peas. Ew. Right? And some the first person who commented was just like, and goes, This looks like British as shit, and they probably call it nuts and bolts or some bullshit. I was just like, I wanted to send that, and it was just like, Chris, what is this called? Because he said that was like, that is the most British looking food I've ever fucking seen. Because it was like olives, peas, and fries. Because they probably call it nuts and bolts or something stupid. 100% nuts and bolts. Because if I said that somebody goes like, oh, but nut bolts, blah blah blah. I was like, oh, fuck you. I would, I literally would die. And Chris, I apologize. That was that's not what you sound like. You sound like a fucking god. Don't get me at all. I was just doing a very quick shitty British. Don't get mad at me.

SPEAKER_03 29:27

Oh, God. Okay. Your turn.

SPEAKER_01 29:30

Um, actually, you know what, we're gonna keep it in the realm of bacon. I'm sorry, old faithful, the bacon, egg, and cheese. Oh. The bacon, egg, and cheese. It is now for me, it's very specific. I'm never just going to go, I'm not just gonna go on like any breakfast place and get a bacon, egg, and cheese, give you some horse shit. It's very, very specific. Anyone from the fucking tri-state area, the proper area of New England, knows it comes from a very specific place and it's ordered a very specific way. One, you go to a bodega to get it. It's gotta come from a bodega. You can't go to fucking, you don't go to fucking IHOP, you don't go to any diner, no bull anything can fuck down. It's gotta be a bullshit bodega. Where you're pretty sure it's a front for some type of illegal work. Two. It's not an everything bagel, it's not a toasted everything bagel. Ketchup salt, pepper, hot sauce. I do not make the rules. I do not make the rules. Hmm. That's it. Bacon, egg, and cheese. I don't give a fuck how you like your eggs cooked if you want it to do the fucking egg jizz all over the place, fucking knock yourself out. I don't want that gross ass shit. Um, fry a couple eggs. Break you gotta break the yolks and cook them through. Make them tight. Yeah. Tin them with the cheese, salt, pepper, ketchup, hot sauce.

SPEAKER_03 30:53

Interesting.

SPEAKER_01 30:54

The only place that I will allow it not that way, because it's very nostalgic for me. Same thing with just a little, it's just the the little Krausers, like the Krausers counts as a bodega for me, at least the ones in the town that I grew up in, because they work like those dingy bodegas. They just work.

SPEAKER_03 31:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 31:11

Um yeah, no, theirs was just because they put you never have to ask for extra cheese. Everything just came with a lethal amount of cheese. Um, so you could just get a regular bacon, egg and cheese on their hard roll, and I'll just put the ketchup and I'll put the um the ketchup and hot sauce on it. So it's on like a poppy seed. Oh, so good.

SPEAKER_03 31:30

That sounds interesting.

SPEAKER_01 31:31

It's so good. So fucking good.

SPEAKER_03 31:36

Alright, so I have speaking of bacon, um like a chicken bacon ranch.

SPEAKER_01 31:45

Ooh, yeah.

SPEAKER_03 31:47

Yeah, you never go wrong with chicken, bacon, and ranch.

SPEAKER_01 31:50

It's three staples.

SPEAKER_03 31:52

With uh, you know, like some lettuce. I don't know, I don't like cheese on that sandwich, just bacon, or or what the fuck am I saying? Chicken bacon ranch with a little bit of lettuce. That's it. It's a perfect sandwich.

SPEAKER_01 32:08

So see, you take the lettuce off, and that's my younger brother's perfect sandwich. Motherfucker would go with his whole chest, dead face, and it would tell the dude at Subway where the fuck it was, I was like, open up that bread. I want you to put in this order chicken, bacon, hit it with ranch. Give it to me.

SPEAKER_00 32:25

That's it. That's all that motherfucker wants on there. I swear to God.

SPEAKER_01 32:29

Oh, I would love to, I would love to see like him get blood work and see his blood, like his sodium levels and his blood panel with some of the shit that this kid eats. I swear to God. The lethal amounts of sodium that's coursing through his veins. I swear to man. But yeah, no, a chicken bacon ranch. I I fuck with a chicken bacon ranch.

SPEAKER_03 32:49

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 32:50

Um, so I will say this. I had on here, shouts out to you for this one, Aaron. I had pastrami on here. Oh. I f Ooh, girl, I love me a fucking good pastrami. Not Katz's. Katz's, everyone goes fucking nuts about kat's allies and whatever, but it got overrated, it got super popular, the prices went up, the portions went down, the quality went. Fuck off out of here, Katz's. But in a good fucking pastrami, right? Nothing crazy. Just give me some, give me some mayo, give me some lettuce, give me some yellow mustard, give me something pickled on there. It could be pickles, pickled jalapenos, pickles, there has to be something pickled on there. Down the hatch. But when I'm going through my list and whatnot, my friends, I don't know how I missed this one. Aaron, God bless you for this one. Oh, I can't wait. The shrimp poe boy. I know you can't have that. I know you know what I'm talking about. It is fried shrimp, lettuce, tomato, mustard. Ugh. Hot sauce, drenched in hot sauce. Not mustard, lettuce, tomato, mayo.

SPEAKER_03 33:53

Isn't it like a like on a very specific type of bread too?

SPEAKER_01 33:57

Depending on what it is. Like, if you're gonna get that anal, like a Cuban, yeah, absolutely. They'll say like the type of like seems like like a French bread or like that, they'll say a specific one. Like they'll say the Cuban has to be like the Cuban type of bread. Like, dude, any type of like sandwich bread like that will be fine. I've had them on ciabatta, I've had them on this, I've had them on that. Um, I've had them on regular, just like sub rolls, or hoagie rolls or grinder rolls or hero, whatever the fuck you call it. A goddamn long piece of bread. Don't fucking get at me. But yeah, nah, yeah, shrimp hogois with fried shrimp fucking decimated with hot sauce. Um, yeah. Mayo, lettuce, tomato. That's it. Just give me that shit.

SPEAKER_03 34:44

Well, it sounds lovely. I won't ever be able to eat that, but it sounds lovely.

SPEAKER_01 34:48

If I ever go back to this New Orleans, whatever brewery that there is in Grand Rapids and whatever the fuck, if I ever get the that's the best po-boy I've ever had. That was that was the best po-boy I've ever had. I'll have to take a picture of it and show you. It was, I'm telling you, it was like looking to the eyes of God and the amount of shrimp that came on it. Bro, I owed him another five bucks. I swear to God. Because it was like under 20 bucks, it was like 16 or 17 bucks for the sandwich. I wanted to give the guy's like, this is$20 for my sandwich all alone. Anywho.

SPEAKER_03 35:20

So my last one is it's very specific. Um, it's a sandwich that I've only ever had at Panera. Um, but you know, I everyone knows. If you know a Panera, you know like the Panera bread, the Panera sandwich bread. Um but they have like a steak and cheese.

SPEAKER_01 35:43

Oh my god, yes.

SPEAKER_03 35:44

And it has like the arugula on it. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 35:46

Oh my god, yes.

SPEAKER_03 35:48

And like the pickled, the pickled onions.

SPEAKER_01 35:50

Yes, they have the pickled red onions, the uh steak asiaga. It was the aciago cheese, it was the uh steak fontina, it's like fontina cheese.

SPEAKER_03 35:58

I don't know what kind of cheese it was, but it was that is I absolutely loved that sandwich.

SPEAKER_01 36:06

It was a pan, it was a Panera steak and cheese. So essentially, if you look at it, at its core, it's a steak and cheese. Um, but you know, they just used different fancy shit. It was your tongue, you put it on top of your head, your tongue will be your brains out to get to it.

SPEAKER_03 36:20

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:21

God, that sandwich was so, so fucking good. I am not a, you know, Panera is just overpriced cafeteria food. It is overpriced food. Overpriced cafeteria food.

SPEAKER_03 36:31

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 36:31

I've never been like everyone's like Panera, this Panera, that. It goes like they're literally just opening, they're literally just opening up a can of broccoli cheddar soup and just putting it in a bread bowl. Putting it in a bread bowl. Like they're just there's nothing I've never even before their prices went up. I've never liked Panera to the level people do.

SPEAKER_03 36:54

I do like their food. Like, I think they have a good mac and cheese. I I really like that. Um, I like some of their soups. But man, that sandwich, I I will pay their prices for that sandwich. But I don't even know if they still have it because it's been it's been a long time since I've been to Panera, but that sandwich has always stuck with me. Like in my mind, like that's was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had.

SPEAKER_01 37:24

Yeah, no, it's like I said, I'm not a fan of Panera. I know they don't carry it anymore because I really stopped going there because they didn't have that anymore. But like Lauren, Lauren fucking loves Panera. Or loved. Same thing. We we stopped going there because we couldn't afford to go there. Um, but yeah, every now and she's like, Let's, I want Panera. I think I think actually she said what to say. She goes, like, I'm having a basic moment. Because like she's not that much of a basic bitch, but she's got a couple of basic bitch tendencies. Yeah. Loves her pumpkin spice, which I can respect. It's it is what it is. Loves her pumpkin spice, and every now and then she was just like, I fucking need some Panera. I need some overpriced bullshit. Put it in front of me on a weird colored plate. And uh, when we would go there, I'd get that sandwich. And I was like, hell yes. But they don't got it no more. Yeah, that was that was that thing was so that was fucking good. Yeah. Shit. You taking me back.

SPEAKER_03 38:15

Yeah.

Head To Head Sandwich Bracket Game

SPEAKER_01 38:16

Anywho, so here we go. Now, which takes us to part two of our sandwich extravaganza here. You ready for this one?

SPEAKER_03 38:29

I'm ready.

SPEAKER_01 38:30

Okay, wait a little bit longer, because I have a stupid question.

SPEAKER_03 38:32

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 38:32

Multiple stupid questions. When is it okay for it to be a sandwich, a sandwich, and a sandwich? Because there's a difference.

SPEAKER_03 38:43

I mean, I feel like if I'm like slapping some stuff at home together, I it's a sandwich. Like, you want me to make a sandwich? Let's make sandwich.

SPEAKER_01 38:58

You know what? Go for I go for a fried bologna sandwich. I can go for that. Yeah, like I feel that the one you eat during the summer when you've been swimming all day, the ham with the the ham and cheese with the mustard and the chips on it, that's a sandwich.

SPEAKER_03 39:11

That's a sandwich. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:12

There's nothing, there's not it's it's just I feel a sandwich is a cold cut, is cold cuts, is a cold, cold cut sandwich. And exactly, just kind of not a whole lot of frill. It's just sustenance, but you're enjoying it. That's a sandwich.

SPEAKER_03 39:25

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 39:26

A sandwich is what Panera makes. It's like it's crafted, it's made. You know what I mean? It's served. You're served a sandwich. You eat a sandwich. And in by laws of my grandfather, may he rest in peace. The only thing that is ever allowed to be called a sandwich is a meatball sub.

SPEAKER_03 39:50

Yeah, I was like, sang sandwich. I that's not a I've never really heard that before.

SPEAKER_01 39:56

Because yeah, I don't even know where sandwich comes from. Literally no one said the only time I ever heard that word was my grandfather, because he was just, from time to time, he was just a goofy motherfucker. I swear to God. But the only time he said it, I think it was like one of my cousins was like, I have a peanut butter. He thought he was being like fun and cute. He'd be like, I have a peanut butter jelly sandwich. He goes, There's no such thing as a s as a peanut butter jelly sandwich. He goes, You give a peanut butter jelly sandwich or a sandwich. He goes, it's only a meatball sandwich. It's the only thing that allows the G. And I was just like, and it was just like, why? And he was like, because I fucking said so. We're like, alright, fair enough. Fair enough. A meatball sub is the only thing allowed to be called a sandwich. Anywho. Roy.

SPEAKER_03 40:38

Hey, real quick.

SPEAKER_00 40:39

Real quick.

SPEAKER_03 40:40

I happen to pull up the Panera app.

SPEAKER_00 40:42

SPEAKER_03 40:43

They do have they do have it, but it's a little bit different. But they have that sandwich back.

SPEAKER_01 40:52

I bet you it's bullshit then.

SPEAKER_03 40:54

This time it's on a bagel.

SPEAKER_01 40:56

Yep, bullshit already.

SPEAKER_03 40:58

Yeah. Uh provolone cheese. Um, they have the the red onions, the zesty sweet peppers. No, that's not what that was. They still have the arugula. And then they put like a salsa verde spread.

SPEAKER_01 41:15

Mm-mm. No, nope, it's not it. That's a completely different sandwich. That's a completely different sandwich.

SPEAKER_03 41:20

Completely. No. I need to petition for them to bring that back. Like, you want my business? My my whole$8 for a sandwich business. Bring that sandwich. Bring that sandwich.

SPEAKER_00 41:34

$8 for a half a sandwich.

SPEAKER_03 41:35

For half a sandwich. Right. Anyway, go ahead. Let's play.

SPEAKER_01 41:40

Anywho, okay. So I'm just gonna kind of go through these ones. We're just gonna get these three ones out of the fucking way first off first. So you got right now, you got the tuna salad sandwich or the egg salad sandwich. Oh actually, and when it comes to this, when I name some of these sandwiches, if it's one you would eat, I want you to think of your favorite version of how you would prepare this sandwich of your favorite, or from whichever place you would you would want it from. Okay. You know what I mean? Because I know people who like don't, they really like like Subway tuna. Like sub apparently Subway's tuna salad is like really, really good, but like other places not so much. So like kind of like that.

SPEAKER_03 42:22

If you're making it at home, go for that. So choosing between the two. I'm gonna go egg salad, because I've never met a tuna I like.

SPEAKER_01 42:31

Never met a tuna you like. Tuna is gone. All right. Egg salad or chicken salad?

SPEAKER_03 42:38

Chicken salad.

SPEAKER_01 42:39

Chicken salad, yeah. Egg salad is out. Chicken salad is not in. Uh, we go on chicken salad or uh let's see, let's put the chicken salad up against sausage and peppers.

SPEAKER_03 43:21

Okay. Uh I'd probably go with Nashville hot chicken. I like spice.

SPEAKER_01 43:28

Hell yeah. Nashville hot chicken. Nashville hot is has some good shit. Anyway, okay. Nashville hot chicken up against a spicy chicken sandwich. Like I said, that there is the difference there.

SPEAKER_03 43:39

Oh, I'm gonna go spicy chicken.

SPEAKER_01 43:41

Spicy chicken.

SPEAKER_03 43:42

SPEAKER_02 43:58

Okay.

SPEAKER_01 43:58

It's it's a better role. The I don't know how this is the thing that made me laugh because it said it goes, oh, we do this now too to make it juicier. It goes like, Are you shitting me? Like it was literally a chicken flavored water balloon. That chicken sandwich has always been the most juicy, succulent chicken sandwich I've ever had in my fucking life. It goes like are you literally to have a spicy chicken flavored water balloon I'm gonna be biting into now? I shit you not. Like they said that it goes, how could you make it juicy? Anyhow. So the spicy chicken. Spicy chicken sandwich or PBJ.

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 48:45

Where'd you get yours from? Because I can only assume you've actually been to Philly. I have not been to Philly. No. I've not been to Philly. Okay. I re I recommend doing that for one reason and one reason only. Is to get an actual Philly cheesesteak. A legitimate Philly cheesesteak. And no, not just getting a cheesesteak or steak and cheese in Philly doesn't count it. Just getting a steak and cheese in Philly doesn't count. Um steak and cheese is steak, cheese, um, you know, like like sliced cheese that's like melted on top of that one. Yeah. Um, with like lettuce, tomato, mayo, whatever the hell you want in your topplings on it. A Philly cheesesteak is like that chopped up beyond belief, like really thin steak steak kind of stuff. Yes. It's that with whiz.

SPEAKER_00 49:32

Yes.

SPEAKER_01 49:32

So it's like a cheese with like a cheese sauce, like a whiz. With whiz, and usually um, I'm sure uh my buddy John, who's like I said, he's jersey, he's pretty much from Philly. I want to say he lives living like across. I'm pretty sure he actually sees Philly from like where he grew up, lives, whatever. He takes it very seriously. Rightfully so. And when we went when um him and his wife got married, we went out there, so I was like, I want an actual Philly cheese, because we were flying out of Philly. I was like, I want an actual Philly cheese. Take me to your favorite place. Fuck what you know, Food Network says, also like, because they say like mics and like genos or some shit. The place they literally cross the street from each other. Uh-huh. And everyone says once they became super famous, everything went to shit. And now there's lines a mile and a half long, and they're just they're okay, they're good, but like they're no one a lot of none of the very few of the locals say they're the best. Very few of the locals say the best. Tourists say that's where you gotta go. So I have him taking me to his place. It's literally like the middle of a fucking like neighborhood. Like there's no, it's not in the middle of Philly. It's on like the outskirts. It's still Philly, but it's like there.

SPEAKER_03 50:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 50:33

There's just like a window that you walk up to, like a screen window.

SPEAKER_03 50:37

Somehow those are the best.

SPEAKER_01 50:38

With an honorary jackass who just looks at you and goes, like, what do you want? I'm not sure. And he goes, like, you need to order like this because you're gonna get. I was like, you order for me, because I don't, I'm not, I don't want to come off like a Taurus. I just I want where the locals go. That's what I want. Is Del Santos. I want to save the name of it. We went and he goes, All right, we're gonna go to Del Santos. That's my favorite, that's where we're gonna go. So we went there. And that's what it is. So he goes up there, he's gonna goes like, all right, I need three cheesesteaks with whiz, one without, you know, I need with whiz, and then one says just with cheese. The one with whiz has it's like the house made one where it's just like the cheese with like a bunch of sauteed onions and shit in it. And the other one's whatever. He goes, that's what it was. It was done, bing, bong, boom. And that's all it's on it. It's just steak, the cheese whiz, and grilled onions.

SPEAKER_03 51:17

Oh, yeah. Yeah, 100%. It was the best that wins, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 51:22

Yeah. That's that's the Philly cheese that I had. Yeah. I can't recommend it. So you say a Philly, so you say steak and cheese or Philly cheese?

SPEAKER_03 51:29

No, philly cheese.

SPEAKER_01 51:30

Philly cheesesteak. Yeah, oh yeah. That's the I'm telling you, man. That's the only cheesesteak. That's the only cheesesteak I've ever had. Like, that's the last cheesesteak I've had. I think I've had one steak and cheese since then. Anywho. Philly cheesesteak or a French dip?

SPEAKER_03 51:45

Oh man.

SPEAKER_01 51:46

Yeah, that's a good one. French dip is a fucking good one.

SPEAKER_03 51:49

Yeah, God.

SPEAKER_01 51:51

By the way, you can thank Lauren for these neck threes for the for the Philly cheesesteak, the French dip, and then one I'm gonna ask you after.

SPEAKER_03 52:00

Probably a French dip. I mean, that's a damn good sandwich.

SPEAKER_01 52:04

Yeah. Yeah, the French dip is a really good one.

SPEAKER_03 52:07

It's messy, but man, it's good.

SPEAKER_01 52:09

Oh, it's worth oh, you think that Philly cheese is fucking? You think that's come on. You think that's a clean sandwich? Remember that episode of Fresh Prince of Bel Air, something about it? It's wrapped in foil. You still see the grease marks on the bag?

SPEAKER_04 52:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 52:20

That's what a Philly cheese. Oh, it's so good. All right. French dip or a Monte Cristo? Ooh.

SPEAKER_03 52:26

Uh man, it's a good sandwich, but I'm gonna go French dip.

SPEAKER_01 52:30

Yeah, that's the Monte Cristo is one of Lauren's favorite just foods, period. Um, let's go French dip or a chicken parm.

SPEAKER_04 52:43

Chicken dip.

SPEAKER_01 52:44

Me personally, I'm not eating a chicken parm sandwich. I'm eating chicken parm like a chicken parm like on chicken.

SPEAKER_03 52:49

I mean, like a chicken parm is kind of messy, but I typically will if I'm presented with like a chicken and some other, like I tend to go with a chicken. So I'm gonna go chicken parm.

SPEAKER_01 53:05

Chicken parm over the French dip.

SPEAKER_03 53:07

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 53:08

Interesting. Like I said, I I like I said, I tip if I'm gonna eat, I very, very seldom am going to get a chicken parm sandwich. Um, like I said, I want chicken parm like with the pasta, like actual chicken parm.

SPEAKER_03 53:20

Yeah, no, god, I love chicken park.

SPEAKER_01 53:22

SPEAKER_03 54:31

Turkey Club. Turkey club ice cream club. Over the ice cream sandwich. Yeah, turkey club.

SPEAKER_01 54:36

Would it make a difference if I said not just the typical ice cream sandwich, which is like that that wannabe chocolate kind of cakey bullshit that always gets stuck to the top of your mouth? What if I said it was any form of an ice cream sandwich? So like, I'll count a chip witch.

SPEAKER_03 54:52

Yeah, no, I I'm not, I'm not a I I would if I'm presented with savory over sweet, I'm gonna pick savory.

SPEAKER_01 54:59

I can respect it. I can respect it. Which is fine. I kind of hate when they do these ones. I think I'll actually have to go through I honestly, I think I want to put these on the I think I'll put these on the social media page because I feel like there needs to be a better way to present these because like I think there's a couple other sandwiches on this list that would have beaten the turkey club, but they got knocked out earlier.

SPEAKER_03 55:24

Oh yeah.

SPEAKER_01 55:24

You know what I mean? Like I think the Philly cheese would have beaten the turkey club.

SPEAKER_03 55:29

I don't know. I really like a turkey club.

SPEAKER_01 55:32

Yes. Mark's the same mark's the exact same way. Turkey club, like he'd commit some atrocities for a fucking turkey club.

SPEAKER_03 55:38

Yeah, I think that would beat a Philly. Yeah, I'd I'd still pick the turkey club.

SPEAKER_01 55:42

I mean, do you think a turkey club would have beat some of the other ones that we said?

SPEAKER_03 55:46

Oh, I don't know about that.

SPEAKER_01 55:50

Do you think the turkey club could have beaten a spicy chicken?

SPEAKER_03 55:53

No.

SPEAKER_01 55:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 55:54

No, no, no. Yeah. And like a turkey club would not beat an Italian, you know, or it would, I it would not I I don't know. I it might be uh grilled cheese. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 56:11

Like I said, if when it comes to those ones, think of your the favorite one you've ever had.

SPEAKER_03 56:15

Yeah, I think I think, yeah, it would it would grilled cheese would beat it. Yeah. Italian would beat it.

SPEAKER_01 56:25

Um an Italian would beat it, but yeah.

SPEAKER_03 56:29

There are several that would beat a turkey club, but man, love a turkey club.

SPEAKER_01 56:35

Like a diner, too.

SPEAKER_03 56:36

Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 56:37

Yeah, it's gotta be a diner too. You can't make a turkey club at home. It's gotta be the diner, like the Texas toast with the triple layered ones with that. The turkey, the bacon.

SPEAKER_03 56:44

Oh yeah, man. Five turkey club now. With with some crinkle cut fries.

Turkey Club Victory Then Fries Talk

SPEAKER_01 56:48

SPEAKER_03 56:53

SPEAKER_03 57:08

SPEAKER_03 57:11

Because like I okay, like if I'm like uh if I go into like order a sandwich and they give me a choice between like, you know, I don't know, like uh potato wedges, crinkle cut, or like shoestring.

SPEAKER_01 57:29

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 57:31

Well, I shouldn't have said shoestring because I do like shoestring potato or fries. Um, but it's crinkle cut. I love a deep-fried crinkle cut.

SPEAKER_01 57:41

I'm telling you, my culverse, they have the best crinkle cut fries because they're like actually, they're so I don't know what they do to them specifically, because you know they're just like Cisco fries. Like there's nothing special about their fries, but they have theirs cooked perfectly. They are so crispy on the outside, but they're like the lightest, fluffiest on the inside.

SPEAKER_03 57:59

And they're just like salted real well.

SPEAKER_01 58:01

SPEAKER_03 58:06

SPEAKER_01 58:07

They have the perfect crinkle cut fries. And I'm stuck and tired of people automatically saying that curly fries are the best because then they say from where everybody was like, no, those are seasoned. You fuck. I'm a dug. No, no, no. No duh. You can wrap it in, you can wrap dog shit in bacon and it's gonna taste better than some type of food. You can't say just because it's spiral and cut like that would automatically make because no, it doesn't.

SPEAKER_03 58:28

No, it's the seasoning that you like because exactly. Like I, you know, if I'm gonna go for a seasoned French fry, I'm gonna go to Taco Bell.

SPEAKER_01 58:37
