We received a nice bit of press recently from the Pioneer Press about our fennel salami sandwich. I will say that I really do enjoy that sandwich and it is often one of my choices for lunch. However there is one other sandwich that I feel like is just as worthy: the cheesemonger.
Those of you who remember the dark days of the Minneapolis cheese shop recall that for some time the only sandwich we had was the cheesemonger. And the only reason we had that sandwich (and the reason we call it that despite the fact it is not a cheese only sandwich) was because I would often make myself one for lunch. I am a big enough man to admit that a cheese shop without a nice sandwich menu was like a dive bar without a dusty jukebox. Huh?
Anyhow, I enjoyed a cheesemonger sandwich for breakfast today. It was delicious. Truly. Rich, delicious salami from Salumeria Biellese in New York City, a couple of slices of salty provolone from Wisconsin, and our awesome pepper-onion relish. 3 simple ingredients all working together in harmony. We've progressed to sandwiches with more than 3 ingredients but I still stand by the idea that it less is more and you just need to find the best ingredients you can and try not to mess them up.

Totally posted about that sandwich once. http://kitchenbitzch.wordpress.com/2009/09/28/france-44-the-cheesemonger-sandwich/
This in unrelated, but I just have to say I'm ecstatic that you'll now be selling cupcakes on Friday. Woo hoo!
CHEESEMONGER IS MY FAVE.
But really, I have problems trying any of your other sandwiches because I can't help but order the cheesemonger every. single. time.
Just wanted to let you know that you are making me fat, yet consistent. O! How much a little cheese shop can bring!
