Today is National Sandwich Day, the day we grieve for the sandwiches that have left us.
The Tony Wood from Glen’s Garden Market
Smoked turkey, roast beef, cheddar, red onion, tomato, pickles, spicy mustard, and mayo on sourdough. To weep is to make less the depth of grief.

It had corned beef, Swiss, cole slaw, and Russian dressing on rye. Nothing gold can stay.

Us the most fleeting of all. Just once, everything, only for once. Once and no more.

The Baltimore dog from Johnny’s Half Shell
A hot dog is a sandwich. O that we had spent but one day in this world thoroughly well!
