Spicy Amarigne Sushi Rolls

Today Chef Andy did not prepare fresh spicy sushi rolls for the competition, however much he wishes he did.

Rather he went back to the basics of his heritage, pulling from the grains of his past to prepare what some might say is beyond a healthy and hearty feast.

Toasted marble-rye bread forms the foundation of a pulled pastrami (the healthy red meat) sandwich that stands statuesquely at 4 and 1/2 inches large. Sauerkraut compliments the meat, yanking the sandwich out of the doldrums that so many meat and bread combinations can fall into.

Topping things off is a whipped blue cheese sauce that goes perfectly with the tart tanginess of the sauerkraut and the more salty pastrami. It's also somewhat spicy.

Good luck to both competitors on this fine food day,
Andy
