It's all in the Bread

Had different bread been present at certain historically significant events the world today would be a much different place. Imagine that instead of the meager bread Helen of Troy was accustomed to she dined on hearty sourdough slathered with butter, would the brewing of battle started then when Paris first gazed upon her?

Or, for instance, picture that they had an abundant supply of the finest pumpernickel in Mordor, do you think that Sauron would have even bothered to send his minions out to find a mere ring?

Even in the future fine bread could make a difference, for who is to say that the Enterprise would never have the need of a slice or two of cinnamon raisin walnut swirl bread? Or that a loaf of hearty whole wheat could probably stave off eminent doom from those evil guys in Halo.

Well, today Chef Andy switched things up a bit and magicked a new sandwich into existence. Thick layers of slow cooked pastrami conjoin with a spicy mustard and blue cheese sauce that flow over a reef-like structure of sauerkraut. This sandwich is all about the texture and taste, which is why a bountiful 12 grain bread was selected for the foundation of the sandwich. Here in the kitchen we have named it the “It’s Way Better than Seafood” sandwich.

On a side note, while speaking of kitchens, we were able to get a hold of the fine people at Carnegie Deli (you may have heard of it) who confirm that, indeed, a sandwich is only a Rueben if it contains corned beef. With any other meat it would not be so sweet.

So, find your favorite bread and make a sandwich, for who knows when bread could save the day.
