The Great American Sandwich Search continues.
On Oprah. Oprah sent her best friend Gayle on a national sandwich dot-to-dot. Lucky girl.
Gayle King, Oprah’s best friend, visits the superlative American sandwich joints chosen by Esquire, eats, chats and rates. Gayle’s snap shots are a fright, about like mine, but she does have swoopy TV hair (probably how she got the gig).
When did sandwiches become such stars? Is it me, or is this celebritization recent?
Okay, hard to swallow any rating given by a woman who
a)doesn’t like lobster
b)never heard of cole slaw on a sandwich
c)sports a big puffy toque, gingerly topping her rock-hard do
Huh? This is the person out in the field eating sandwiches? And rating them?
2 1/2 points for Lobster Grilled Cheese (rather than a top rating of 5) because she doesn’t like lobster. Anyone slinging this kind of power ought to be versed in the difference between “I don’t like it”, and “It’s not good”. Big difference. You’re on the wrong beat, lady.
Perhaps you were home mid-day yesterday and caught Oprah’s Sandwich Showdown on your set, if not, take a look here.
To be frank, celebrity chef anything gets on my nerves. Biting the hand that feeds me, one of my preferred snacks.
The Lunch Encounter 
i recognize the zingermans’ paper under that sannich! i’ve been known to say “it’s delicious, but i don’t like it” to distinguish between “bad” and “not my thing.” as for your query, of course it’s YOU who has launched this celebritization of sustenance, i’m certain. [7 days and counting….]
U R so smaaaarrrrt. right. I’m not fond of yellow, but the sun is a lovely thing. 6 days to go. hot dougie’s and exploding bottle rockets, here we come!
