I'd say that the only thing to change about this is that you absolutely MUST wrap the sandwich in foil or parchment before cutting. This steams the bun a bit and allows all the ingredients to congeal making it easier to eat!

hey babish, tip with the packing of sandwiches, even for making them at home, wrap them up before cutting, the wrapping, gives a tight structure to the sandwich that the bread alone cant offer, it keeps it together for that lovely cross section, and when you go to eat it all you have to do is peel it back and enjoy. theres a reason every sandwich place does it.

@cactuschef3 2 жыл бұрын

definitely do this. I started wrapping mine in tinfoil after watching j kenji lopez-alt's chopped cheese video. in addition to the foil itself providing structural integrity and making it way easier to get all the overflowing beef and lettuce into the thing, just the process of having the whole thing wrapped up into a tube makes the bread sort of mold around the fillings and even after you peel off the foil the whole thing holds together much much better and is just way better to eat.

@fafski1199 2 жыл бұрын

That was resolved by simply chopping up the cheese burger patties and serving them up in a sub roll, instead of a burger bun. TBH, it was most likely first made by some street food vendor, who was just having a "bad day" at work. He probably found that the cheese burger patties, where sticking badly to the gridle and breaking up, along with finding out that he was out of burger buns and only had hotdog buns still left.

Excellent job. The one thing I would add is wrap your chopped cheese and let sit for a few minutes so it gets that Bodega feel. The way it kinda steams in the wrapping as you walk to your apt or down the street. Or on the train or bus. It really adds to it.

One thing you should have done is wrapped it up though- it’s an underrated part of any hot sandwich, where it kinda of steams and lets “the flavors get to know each other”.

@chrispapastephanou1091 2 жыл бұрын

Here’s a useful way to make the sandwich. Once the cheese is melted, stack the tomato and lettuce on the meat and cheese pile on the grill. The roll should be split, but make sure it doesn’t break in 2. Add your condiments to the bread. Put the split roll on the top of the stack, run the spatula under everything, and flip it over. Everything should now be in the roll. Just fold it shut.
